Overview
Fiction. Self-help and wellness. Health equity. Business leadership. The science of "flow" and peak performance. Diversity. Decisionmaking. Habit and routines. These are some of the topics 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.

TESTIMONIALS
“Scott's ability to weave idea-driven nonfiction with narrative in a creative way makes for a compelling and engaging read. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with him should consider themselves very fortunate.” Naz Beheshti, Forbes contributor, and author of Pause. Breathe. Choose.
“Scott’s coverage for Knowledge@Wharton has included high-traffic Q&As with Twitter co-founder Biz Stone and financier Mohamed El-Erian, as well as meticulously written reviews of important but lesser-known books and bestsellers.

Jason Kirsch has good news and bad news. The bad news is that the 2008 Financial Crisis dealt a severe blow not just to our economy, but also to the financial health and readiness of many Americans. Nest eggs and home values plummeted in value. Millennials just starting out entered the tightest job market in years. The economy has since recovered, but not as robustly as we would all like.

So far i really like him<especially as a coach. I’ve been having some difficulties writing
Jennifer Jeffries, March 2022
Working with Scott Doyle was beyond remarkable. The sincerity and passion he puts into the project is something I have never witnessed before. If you want someone who will be hand in glove with you from the very moment you begin writing, look no further. He is so personally invested in each project, it is humbling.
I would recommend him a hundred times over.
