Overview
With nearly 30 years of experience as an author, coauthor, journalist, ghostwriter, book coach and freelance editor, I have coauthored or freelance edited over a dozen books. 2 were NYTimes bestsellers, 2 were Oprah's Book List selections, 1 a Canadian Book Awards winner, 1 an Oprah's Favorite Thing, and 1 the winner of a Books for A Better Life Award. I have also ghostwritten numerous book proposals for nonfiction books and memoirs, all of which have sold to traditional NY publishers, including several that have secured $500K+ deals.
In addition, I have contributed over 500 articles for publication in FORBES. My work has been published in the New York Times, the Huffington Post, Self magazine and Stanford magazine. Two of my poems were selected for publication in anthologies.
I enjoy working with people to help birth your story into the world, whether through a complete ghostwrite, a freelance edit, hourly editing or book coaching.
Furthermore, with a BA and MS in Psychology from Stanford Phi Beta Kappa with Honors and Distinction, and over 15 years of experience as a life coach to high achievers, I am skilled at coaching my clients to tap into their passion and producing their most elevated work.
TESTIMONIALS:
"MeiMei embodies that unique combination of a bright mind meeting an ever-expanding heart. She was both an enthusiastic champion of my words and a level-headed guide who knew when to jettison what no longer served, without looking back. She possesses the superpowers of unstoppable positivity, balance, and great common sense. She is smart, fast, clear, curious, and a lover of words. She sets your imagination on fire."
Frank Ostaseski, "The Five Invitations." Bestseller, Oprah's Book List
To my academic friends: When it's time to write to a broader audience, start here. Working with MeiMei will help ground your work so that you can make essential shifts in how you view your audience, your writing, and yourself as an author. I went from 60 pages of notes to 260 pages of a full draft in just over two months. Inspiration and clarity and confidence were all what I gained.”
–Stephanie W. Cawthon, Ph.D., Bestselling Author of Disability is Human
“MeiMei is truly a gem—someone whose kindness and wisdom inspire everyone she meets. MeiMei has a remarkable gift for bringing out the best in people and genuinely cares about helping others succeed. When I began my journey to write my first book, I never thought it was possible. The idea of becoming an author felt overwhelming and distant. MeiMei's guidance, encouragement, and genuine belief in my story gave me the strength to share it with the world. MeiMei’s insights, expertise, and unwavering support were pivotal in helping me turn my dream into reality.
