As a freelance writer, Jane has contributed to Women’s Sports & Fitness Magazine, The New York Times, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and Sports Illustrated. She co-edited the award-winning book for young adults Play Like a Girl (Henry Holt & Co., 1999) with Sue Macy.
Co-curator and editor Geoffrey Biddle is a photographer and educator. He served as assistant chair of the Photography Department at Parsons School of Design from 1994 to 2000.

His book, Alphabet City, a text-and-photo social documentary of life on the Puerto Rican Lower East Side of Manhattan, won the Essay of the Year award from the National Press Photographers Association. Biddle brought his documentary vision to numerous extended photoessays on sports for GEO magazine, and at one time had more photographs in the Basketball Hall of Fame than any other photographer. His work has been included in exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
