Publishing Solutions Group Senior Editor Richard Carson, has over a decade of publishing experience in addition to an extensive teaching background. He worked for nine years at McDougal Littell/Houghton Mifflin Co., for a year at Pearson Educational Publishers, and for two years at a development house. He also has extensive teaching experience including 8 years at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts.

At McDougal Litttel/Hougton Mifflin, Richard worked as a Content Editor and later a Book Editor for their Language Arts and Social Studies departments. He is extremely proud of the features he wrote for The Americans series. At Pearson he worked as a Senior Editor on several grammar programs. In his time at a development house, Richard wrote original texts, researched historical texts, and edited a variety of student text and ancillaries. Richard edits pages not just for content, grammar, and consistency, but also “to make pages attractive and meaningful for students and teachers.”

Richard taught remedial reading in Bennington, Vermont and did a lot of tutoring when he was in college. He designed and taught introductory, intermediate, advanced, and independent courses on colonial nineteenth-century, modern, and contemporary American Literature at the College of the Holy Cross. Richard has also given library lectures in Rhode Island on American fiction.

Richard describes himself as an English major even though it has been “30+ years since I was in college.” For him, the English major is a way of life. He enjoys reading and writing and hopes to someday finish the novel he started while working on his MFA at Emerson College.

Richard’s editorial expertise combined with his love of movies and theater and his secret ambition to write a play makes him a perfect fit here at Publishing Solutions Group.
