Overview
I'm ranked among the top 10 literary agents worldwide out of over 3,000 agents for Business, Finance, and Economics books. I help authors position their books, develop the content, write and edit the entire manuscript, and sell it to a major publisher (or self-publish if you'd rather go that route).
Publishers I've been fortunate enough to work with include Hachette, Penguin Random House, Portfolio, Hay House, Wiley, Jossey-Bass, BenBella, Post Hill Press, and others. My authors have received advances as high as $500k for their books.
I have helped write more than 50 books, including multiple national bestsellers. They have been picked up for translation into over a dozen different languages.
If you are a consultant, business leader, entrepreneur, investor, or a doctor, lawyer, therapist, financial advisor, or life coach with a unique philosophy, framework, or approach to life and business, I can help you turn your ideas and experiences into a book that can attract a major publisher. This can position you as a leading voice in your field and generate speaking opportunities and media interest.
Before getting into the book publishing industry I worked for years as a psychology researcher, and I've published over a dozen peer-reviewed scientific journal articles on persuasion, social influence, and adolescence.
I like to work on projects with the potential to improve people's lives. I think good books can make the world a better place. I love helping people put their stories and ideas into writing in a way that gets attention and causes readers to take action or rethink something they used to take for granted.
With degrees in psychology and screenwriting, I excel at using well-structured stories to demonstrate complex ideas in a simple, emotional, engaging, and scientifically-accurate way.
