Marjorie Osterhout’s Summary
After 20 years in publishing and high tech, I combine a love of all things literary with a passion for social media and technology. On the publishing side, I've authored three books and edited many more, plus written many features and essays for national magazines. At Microsoft, I managed the "creative" side of many PC and XBox games, overseeing music, art, and writing, as well as localization into many languages and cultures.
