Anita Bartholomew  is a leading freelance writer and editor whose specialties include health, science, social issues, politics, profiles, fiction, and narrative non-fiction. She is the co-author of Something To Prove: A Daughter's Journey to Fulfill a Father's Legacy (Kaplan 2010), Dr. Yvonne S. Thornton's sequel to the bestselling The Ditchdigger's Daughters. Anita was also the ghostwriter hired by an independent film company to write a novel based on their characters.

A former longtime contributing editor to Reader’s Digest, Anita's articles have appeared in numerous other major magazines as well including Salon, Good Housekeeping, MBA Jungle, Omni, 21st C., Continental and Woman’s Day
 

"A Secret Between Friends," a TV movie starring Lynda Carter, was inspired by a story of Anita’s that appeared in YM magazine. She was also engaged as a researcher and consultant on the script.
 

As a developmental and substantive editor (aka "book doctor"), Anita focuses on fiction, narrative non-fiction, and memoir but she has also helped hone prescriptive non-fiction proposals and manuscripts; short stories; and magazine articles. Among the books on which Anita has consulted editorially are the bestselling Strong Women Stay Young (Bantam, 2000); Lung Cancer:  Myths, Facts, Choices - and Hope (W.W.

In connection with the promotion of her work, Anita has appeared on TV and radio news and talk shows including Good Day New York, Good Day Tampa Bay, and Maury Povich.
 

She has recently completed a novel, inspired partly by local legend, about the quirky little house where she lives in Sarasota, Florida.
