FRED LEVINE has worked for the last few years as an editor, writer, and designer of privately published memoirs. Prior to that he was an editor-in-chief at Time Inc., features editor at Disney’s Family Fun magazine, and editor of Intuition, a magazine devoted to the cultivation of creativity. Fred’s writing, much of it first-person memoir style, has been published in a wide range of national magazines. He is also the author of two books on religion and spirituality, holds a master’s degree from Harvard Divinity School, and a B.A. from Amherst College. He is an avid photographer and devotee of Photoshop, and likes nothing better than poring through (and restoring) clients’ old family photos. His biggest challenge in life is finding more time to brew beer.
