Overview
"Not sure why I burst into tears at the first sentence," raved a former Olympian and founder of one of the first women's sports programs in the country. "You have a gift."
Many of my clients share similar sentiments. They praise "the thoughtful, tender, and authentic voice you offered for the story" and remark that "the way that you were able to family’s struggles, is truly a testament to how great of a writer you are."
I bring over a decade of publishing experience to your story. The result: a moving, authentic book to increase your platform, build your personal brand, and maximize your social impact.
My clients' books have landed interviews on The Patricia Raskin Show and Creative Insider. They've appeared on HBO, CNN, and CBC. They've been featured in Tech Crunch and Dwell, and they've spoken in front of crowds from Princeton University to Altman Solon.
What's even more valuable than all that exposure? The validation of knowing your story changed someone's life.
I offer two ghostwriting packages: The Thought Leader and The Changemaker. Details for both are below. In your outreach, please let me know which package seems like the best fit. If you would prefer to begin with a book proposal, the investment is $24k plus 20% in Reedsy fees.
