She works at the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley as an editor in the oral history office, and prior to 2002, she worked for many years for the University of California Press. Norton is a lyricist member of ASCAP. She wrote the text for Landscaping for Privacy, set to music by composer Eve Beglarian.
