Overview
I'm an author, screenwriter, and editor. I've published three novels with major publishing houses, "The Winter Girl" (Doubleday); "Strange Skies," (Harpercollins) and "The Toast," (Adaptive Studios), all of which were optioned by Hollywood studios. On the film side, I've proudly seen the production of "Most Likely to Murder"/Mar Vista Entertainment and have two screenplays in development with major studios (Warner Brothers and Gran Via Productions). My nonfiction proposal for the musician Genesis O Porridge sold to Abrams Books. I'm also a sought-after editor for nonfiction and fiction manuscripts.
As a highly experienced author and editor, I genuinely love helping my clients express themselves on the page. My goal is to find what separates your story from all the rest, and then write a proposal or a full manuscript that will win over the most jaded editor. Ghostwriting is a collaborative process, every step of the way, and it's my aim to make it one of the most fulfilling and creative experiences of your life.
