Biography

Betty J. Talbert is the managing editor of Philosophia Christi, the journal of the Evangelical Philosophical Society. Writing clients have included the California Association of Realtors, Deep River Books, Wiley-Blackwell, Lexham Press and Fresh Voice Publishers among others. Betty is also a freelance book editor and writing coach.

When at Freedom Communications Betty served concurrently as the Long Beach Register’s editorial page editor and as a senior editor on the Orange County Register's opinion pages. She has written editorials, columns and blogs, and was a member of the Long Beach Register Editorial Board. She is probably best known, however, for her deep connection with the O.C. community in her role as the host of the Register's letters-to-the-editor section.
