Overview
I'm a writer, researcher, and entrepreneur. I co-authored the best-selling book "Flip the Script", with Oren Klaff for Penguin Random House (I'm credited on the title page!) along with more than 50 other books, including WSJ bestsellers. Also, I've published over a dozen peer-reviewed scientific journal articles on persuasion, social influence, adolescence, and parent-teen communication.
With an extensive network of contacts in the publishing industry, I can not only write your manuscript, but also pitch it to acquisitions editors and land you a book deal. I'll be with you every step of the way, from initial idea sessions to seeing your book in stores.
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.
When I'm not writing books for other people, I'm working on the podcast I host for parents of teenagers, called Talking to Teens. That's where I share tips for discussing tough issues with teenagers and I interview leading authors from all over the world.
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.
