* Ghostwriter and developmental editor on a YA historical trilogy (all three books) that sold at auction to a Big Five house for six figures.

* Partnered with numerous authors, including New York Times and USA Today best-sellers, to craft manuscripts with authentic voice, strong prose, compelling pacing, and that all-important “can’t put it down” factor.

* Author of best-selling non-fiction book(s) on best writing practices for authors.

* Ghostwriter and editor for non-fiction books including a tribute to survivors of cancer, which included some new age best health practices, and a tough love approach to business management by winning your employees over through risk and rewards.

What I bring to every project:

* Ability to capture your unique voice and vision.

* Expertise in creating books that are not just well-written but commercially viable.
