Sharon leads a team of ten who write and publish our two journals—the New England Historical and Genealogical Register and Mayflower Descendant—as well as up to twenty print publications per year. These titles include Robert Charles Anderson's The Great Migration: Immigrants to New England study project series, how-to guides such as the Genealogist's Handbook for Irish Research, Curt DiCamillo’s A British Country House Alphabet series, and many other titles of special interest to seasoned and novice family historians alike. 

Under our Newbury Street Press imprint, six expert genealogists research and write family histories to the highest scholarly standards. These are then produced by our in-house team and published as beautiful heirloom-quality volumes which advance the mission of American Ancestors and will serve as key resources for generations of family researchers to come. 

In the course of her work, Sharon interacts with our Member Services team to answer questions about our many publications. She also does consultations for our Library patrons and lectures on writing and publishing your family history for our Education department.

Prior to coming to American Ancestors, Sharon spent over 30 years in the educational textbook publishing industry, where she developed, edited, and managed the production of complex Spanish, French, science, social studies, and math programs for secondary-school and college students.
