Scott Doyle – Ghostwriter

Be it idea-driven nonfiction, memoir, or fiction, a strong narrative sets great books apart. Stories shape the world. Let me shape yours.

Overview

Business leadership. Peak performance. Decisionmaking. Health and wellness. Inclusion. Community. Social justice. Personal and professional memoir. Novels. Screenplays.

These are some of the topics and genres on which I've collaborated with clients—in books, blogs, Forbes articles, and more.

Every project has a core narrative—its spine, muscle, and heart. My first job is to find that narrative, simplify it, streamline it, polish it. Then, working closely with the client, I build upward and outward from that core. This approach not only ensures that I capture the essence of the project, but am true to the client's own unique voice and vision.
