Marta graduated from Duke University with a liberal arts degree, double-majoring in U.S. History and Comparative Area Studies (Far East and Latin America), which gave her a solid background for her future career in publishing. She’s worked in all facets of the media, including television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and books—mostly as a writer and editor, but also as an associate publisher and literary agent.

Marta has been a book packager for the past 13 years producing books for publishers, which involves working with authors to write the book and supervise development editing, copy editing, layout, design, proofreading, and indexing. She has produced hundreds of books, including children’s books for Grolier, as well as a multitude of computer and business books for such well-known companies as Thomson, Pearson, Wiley, Elsevier, Macmillan, Cengage, Peachpit, and Rosenfeld Media.
