I help business leaders, investors, and visionaries do the heavy lifting of writing non-fiction books as a ghostwriter, co-author, editor, and collaborator. Writing a book is an undertaking that many dream of, but few manage to organize the time and focus that is really required. Others make the commitment on their own but soon find that translating scientific and technological information into cogent, relatable, and entertaining stories for the lay reader is easier said than done. That's where I come in. As a co-author, ghostwriter, collaborator, editor, or coach, I will passionately help you through the process from vision and book proposal to final, edited, footnoted manuscript. The work I have done for others has made the Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-seller lists.Due to the intense commitment required in a book project, I am very selective about the projects I take on. I strictly write non-fiction, with a focus on cutting-edge technology, business, biographies, health and medicine, and objective, research-based personal growth. I am a stickler for grammar, spelling, attribution to authoritative and original sources, and deadlines. I also recognize that plans change—I am therefore committed to doing whatever is necessary (including re-writes and merciless editing) to produce the best possible finished product.If you have a vision for a book that you think I would be a good fit for, please reach out to see if we are a match.
