Overview
I'm a New York Times bestselling author and professional ghostwriter with more than 60 published books to my credit. I've worked with major publishing houses and helped executives, professionals, and private individuals turn their experiences, expertise, and ideas into compelling books.
My specialties include memoirs and autobiographies, private legacy memoirs, business and leadership books, consumer health books, and serious nonfiction.
Some clients want to share their personal stories with a broad readership. Others want to preserve their experiences, family history, and values in a privately commissioned book for children, grandchildren, and future generations. I bring the same commitment to quality, accuracy, and storytelling to both kinds of projects.
I work directly with my clients throughout the writing process. I conduct in-depth interviews, review relevant documents and research, develop the book's structure, and write and revise the manuscript. My goal is to create a book that communicates your ideas or tells your story in a voice that feels authentically yours.
Confidentiality is fundamental to my work. Although my public writing credits include nationally recognized books, many ghostwriting assignments are private. I don't identify confidential clients or disclose their projects without permission. Consequently, my publicly listed books represent only part of my professional experience.
Whether you're considering a memoir, a book about your professional experience, or a serious work of nonfiction, I can help you develop your ideas into a thoughtful, professionally written manuscript.
