(about 9 years)
Before becoming an independent writer seven years ago, I spent nearly fifteen years in marketing communications and print and digital publishing. Thanks to vast personal and professional experience, I'm adept at tackling a number of topics across a variety of mediums.
My main focus is coauthoring or ghostwriting book manuscripts, with emphasis on personal memoir, narrative nonfiction, and fiction. I love helping people tell their stories with power and beauty.
Hiring a coauthor or ghostwriter is valuable for those who have a compelling story, unique ideas, or expertise in a particular topic but don't have the time, energy, or ability to write a book on their own. More than just arrange words eloquently on a page, I can help you discover, refine, and express a story that will entertain, educate, and inspire your intended audiences.
As a professional ghostwriter, I have a proven track record of fleshing out other people’s stories and ideas, receiving critiques and requests for revisions, and working with editors to ready the manuscript for publication. I aim to offer the best of my abilities while keeping my own ego out of the process.
I have a degree in English from Vanderbilt University, where I studied creative writing in fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction under A. Manette Ansay, Mark Jarman, and James McConkey. I’m also a member of the Authors Guild and teach the story structure of novels and memoirs at local writing conferences.
