Jonathan Small – Ghostwriter

I'm an award-winning journalist, ghostwriter, and podcast host specializing in memoirs, business books, and the self-improvement genre.

Overview

I'm a best-selling journalist, editor, ghostwriter, writing coach, and podcast host.

I've written proposals and books for top executives, celebrities, thought leaders, and "ordinary" people with extraordinary stories to tell.

I've helped screenwriters deliver killer scripts.

I've authored numerous articles for The New York Times, Marie Claire, Glamour, Cosmo, Details, Maxim, TV Guide, Good Housekeeping, Fitness, and Entrepreneur.

I've taught writing at New York University and MediaBistro.

And I host a weekly popular podcast that features top writers talking about how they got where they are and what they've learned along the way.

Now I want to share what I've learned with you.

Why? I sincerely believe you are a natural-born storyteller. But you're also busy. You don't have the bandwidth to write a book or an article or a proposal—although you really want to. And even when you do find the time, you have questions: Where do I start? How do I write stories that people want to read? How do I sell my stories to publishers, editors, and agents?

You start by finding a good collaborator. A writing partner that brings out your best.

Someone who knows how to listen and what questions to ask. Someone who can guide you through the process of crafting an unformed idea into a finished product. Someone who can help you make a good story into a great read.

That someone is me.
