Hire a pro

Need help writing a book or speech?

So you've...

  • done the hard thing
  • endured the hard thing
  • survived the hard thing

Wouldn't it be amazing if you could take everything you've learned and put it into the kind of book or speech you wish you'd had before you went through all that?

Wouldn't it be a whole lot easier and faster if you hired someone who "gets" you to do it for you--someone who's been through their own "thing" who happens to also have a lot of experience writing books and speeches?

I just might be the right ghostwriter and developmental editor for you. 

I've helped everyone from CEOs to fighter pilots, FBI agents to ex-cons, and finance pioneers to Olympic athletes share their stories, and I can help you, too. As your ghostwriter and developmental editor, I will help you answer these key questions:

Why this? * Why you? * Why now? 

Then I'll turn it into a salable book proposal to pitch to literary agents and publishing house editors, and finally, I'll write a full manuscript. Or, I'll write a keynote speech or TEDx for the stage. Along the way, we'll collaborate so that I get what's in your head and your heart down on the page in your voice.

I know what it's like to put yourself out there because I've done it, too.

My clients and I often connect so deeply that it's no wonder it feels bittersweet when we finish the job. That's because I've also done, endured, and survived the hard thing an wrote about it in five traditionally published parenting books and four (so far) self-published healthcare books called THE JUST DIAGNOSED GUIDES. I'm also a Certified Focusing Professional, which means I'm trained to listen and connect deeply.

We've lived a great story. Together, let's tell one.

If you've been looking for a collaborator with the skills to truly understand you and your message and then turn it into a book or speech that people love, schedule a complimentary call with me today.

Testimonials

Jen wrote a proposal for me that landed me a top agent and a book deal with an imprint of a Big Five publisher. She's the person you want in your corner to help you tell your story, manage the lift that is finishing a book, and do so in a way that feels authentic to you.
