Lyz Nagan – Ghostwriter

Nonfiction ghostwriter who loves bringing to life bold ideas that challenge the status quo. Plays well with entrepreneurs and executives.

Overview

I’m a seasoned ghostwriter with deep roots in both the arts and corporate communications. That mix of emotion and logic shows up in every project: I create content that hits the heart and the head. I collaborate best with bold thinkers who push boundaries and want to dig past the obvious to uncover ideas that truly move readers. With 15+ years of experience shaping thought leadership (articles, keynotes, newsletters, and more) and writing prescriptive nonfiction books, I bring a strong narrative style, grounded in real stories and lived insight. My focus areas include work culture, leadership, technology, entrepreneurship, art, and design.

Communication Principles:

- Every word matters, but their collective impact is what makes the difference.

- Usability and understandability are the keys to good content.

- Ego is old school. I don’t want to be a hero; I want to create great work.

I can:

- Ghostwrite non-fiction books that advance your business

- Curate your ideas and identify the ones with the potential to inform and engage

- Bring your ideas to life in multiple formats, so they resonate with your target audience

What my clients have said about our collaborations:

“Seeing your story from a third-person perspective is often hard unless you have a partner. The questions and clarifications Lyz provided added such richness to my message. Her contribution was one of the most valuable pieces of guidance I could have gotten.” — Jamie Taets, CEO and Founder of Keystone International Group

“As someone who has big, rangy content—and lots of it!—Lyz was invaluable in helping package my thought leadership for a variety of formats. A wonderful partner, Lyz is a great strategist and writer, and a joy to work with. I look back at our work with pride, and even deeper gratitude for all we did together. “ — Cecily Sommers, Futurist

“Lyz isn't just any writer; she's a true collaborator and listener, someone who understands and respects the unique voice of each author. Her honesty, empathy, and skill in enhancing their thoughts into something special has elevated every project she touches, exceeding our expectations every single time." — Dara Beevas, Wise Ink Publishing
