Your story. Your writer.

You need help getting your ideas together?
I'm the writer you're looking for.

Ghostwriting your memoir. Penning your corporate history. Putting together a family story. Guiding you through the narrative nonfiction process. Developing a book proposal that agents and publishers want to see.

I've got you covered.

When you hire me, you're getting an internationally published narrative nonfiction author, editor, book consultant, and coach with 25+ years in the business. I've worked with major publishers, international and university presses, plus digital book producers. My books have been translated and published internationally. These victories mean I have a professional's thorough understanding of what works, what sells, and how to sell it.

Your story has power. Together we can

bring it to readers for maximum impact

Hiring an author makes sense.
Here's a few reasons we should collaborate:

An author knows how pull research into a solid narrative. Between my talents for digging deep into old documents and archival material, plus my dexterous interviewing skills, I develop a wealth of information that gets filtered into my narrative nonfiction author brain, then transform stories into lively prose. Perfect talents for your corporate or family history.

An author transforms imagination into words. It's that kind of experience you want in a good writing coach. I've been turning around my own sentences for years. I'll help you do the same.

An author understands the publishing business. I'm an award-winning author, with years of experience and in-depth knowledge of the book world. I've developed narrative nonfiction proposals for my own books, and helped guide many others through the process. Let's get your book sold.

An author knows how to work the words. Getting your voice on the page seems easy enough. In actuality, it's a real challenge. As a book author, you want to have an unaffected conversation with readers. For many, that requires a behind-the-scenes author, i.e. "the ghostwriter." I'm part chameleon and part ventriloquist. As your ghostwriter, my job is to make you sound your best.

I've worked with political figures, Hollywood celebrities,

and other notable figures.

Sorry, names are proprietary—

and so is yours when you hire me.

Your story. Your writer.
