Writer's Assistant

I have been working as a writer's assistant since January, 2011. My main client is David Wolman, a contributing editor at Wired and the author of three books. His most recent is The End of Money, which came out last February.
People often ask me, "So what do you do? Editing?"
I occasionally edit something, but not that often. Most of my time is spent organizing his public appearances, seeking out contacts for other pieces that he's working on, and other random bits of research. I have also arranged book sales, set up a Facebook page for his book, created newsletters, and right now, I am working on putting together an e-book of his previous short works.
