In 2011, I co-produced, copyedited, and proofread Ten Years That Shook thc City: San Francisco 1968-1978 with editor Chris Carlsson.

The book is a collection of first-person and historical essays spanning the tumultuous decade from 1968, the year of the San Francisco State College strike, to 1978 and the twin traumas of the Jonestown massacre and the assassinations of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk.

This volume provides a broad look at the diverse ways those ten years shook the City and shaped the world we live in today. From community gardening to environmental justice, gay rights and other identity-based social movements, anti-gentrification efforts, neighborhood arts programs and more, many of the initiatives whose origins are described here have taken root and spread far beyond San Francisco.

In 2012, this anthology was awarded the Gold Medal for Contribution to Publishing (for books published in 2011) by the California Book Awards.

You can purchase the book here. And hear and read excerpts online here.
