USA Today Bestselling Ghostwriter and Developmental Editor
You could be the author of a book that readers can't put down.
If you've faced the hard thing, endured the hard thing, and survived the hard thing, maybe it's time to write the book you wished you'd had before you went through all that.
Nowadays though, your ideas and even your story aren't enough to keep readers from putting down the book to scroll relentless "breaking news" banners and amusing cat videos. These days, your book's competition isn't just other books.
That's why it's important to collaborate with a ghostwriter who knows how to keep readers reading. I've written books that readers and reviewers love so much, they rave about them online:
"Water the plants and feed the dogs before cracking this book."
"I bought several copies to give as gifts to friends."
"Well written, accessible, funny at times, and I learned a lot!"
"A gift for storytelling... these aren’t just generic tales but vivid, high-stakes moments that draw you in and challenge you to rethink what you believe."
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. 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 faced, endured, and survived the hard thing and wrote about it in my own traditionally published books. I'm also a Certified Focusing Professional, which means I'm trained to listen and connect deeply, bringing safety and care to the process.
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 that people love, schedule a complimentary call with me today.
