Autorenporträt
With a long career in theater and publishing, author Webster Bull today is a writer of institutional histories. He began his publishing career by founding Memoirs Unlimited in 1988, helping elderly people write and privately publish their life stories. In 1998, he and his wife Katie Bull founded Commonwealth Editions, a publisher of nonfiction books about Boston, Cape Cod, and other New England destinations. Meanwhile, Webster focused on writing projects for families and larger organizations. The Mass General history, begun in 2007, is the most ambitious in this line of writing projects. In 2010, Webster and Katie Bull sold Commonwealth Editions to Applewood Books of Carlisle, Massachusetts. Webster lives in Beverly, Massachusetts. Co-author Martha Bull is a 2007 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Chicago and, beginning in 2010, an MFA candidate at Columbia University. In between, she worked with her father Webster Bull on the Mass General history. Martha lives in New York City.
