Nancy A. Schenck has over twenty years of publishing experience. She spent ten years in New York working at Random House, the world’s largest trade publisher, in the Trade Sales division, and then as a copywriter and manager of creative services in the Children’s Publishing division. She moved to Los Angeles in 1998 and was the editor of a magazine for a nonprofit organization. Schenck is currently the Executive Editor for Central Recovery Press, a full-service publishing and intellectual property clearinghouse specializing in addiction treatment and recovery and behavioral health care topics.
Prior to following her passion for publishing and the written word, Schenck worked as a nurse for thirteen years, spending eight of those years in pediatric emergency units.
Her first book, Tails of Recovery: Addicts and the Pets That Love Them (Central Recovery Press, 2009) was written as part of the grieving process for her beloved pet she lost in a tragic event over forty years ago.
Schenck lives in Las Vegas with her partner, Tony, and their “baby,” Sophie, a lab mix they rescued in 2006.
