Alan M – Ghostwriter

Pulitzer-finalist journalist and book collaborator helping authors develop, write, and publish compelling sports and true crime books.

Overview

I collaborate with authors to develop and write powerful nonfiction books, guiding projects from initial concept to a publication-ready manuscript.

My primary focus is sports, where I have co-authored memoirs with four Hall of Fame baseball players. My work in this area centers on shaping narrative arcs, identifying key material, and building cohesive, compelling book-length narratives.

As a longform journalist and investigative reporter, I bring experience in deep reporting, narrative structure, and complex nonfiction storytelling, including work in criminal justice.

I help clients identify their strongest material and shape it into clear, compelling narratives, balancing thorough development with an efficient, structured process.
