Tish Davidson has
been publishing nonfiction for more than twenty years. As a
freelance writer in New Jersey, she wrote everything from restaurant
reviews to business stories for publications such as Delaware
Valley Magazine, New Jersey Monthly, and the Trenton
Times. At one point, her self-syndicated parenting column was
running in 23 newspapers. After moving to Fremont, California, Tish
concentrated her writing on medical and bioscience topics. She has
published three nonfiction books for young adults with Franklin
Watts, a division of Scholastic, Inc. Two of these, Prejudice,
and Competition: Can You Play By the Rules and Still Stay
in the Game? were selected as California Reader Notable Books,

for September 2010.
In addition to writing books, Tish has
contributed chapters to many biology and nutrition textbooks,
written dozens of encyclopedia articles on medical and bioscience
topics, and done development editing for Corwin Press, and
educational publisher. Currently she works as a freelance editor for
Appingo Press and writes for Cengage Learning and the Reed Group.
