Recognized as the #1 book editor in North Carolina, I help authors craft nonfiction, memoirs, and fiction. I'm passionate about working on books that make a difference—in business and life. After earning degrees in creative writing, mass communications, and literature, I began editing and writing for international magazines and marketing agencies. As president and founder of Spiritus, I’ve also managed the careers of keynote speakers and served as a leadership consultant certified in change management. When speakers wanted to write books, I stepped in to ghostwrite or edit them. I also represented my clients’ books to major publishers and helped indie authors create their memoirs and nonfiction books. As word of mouth spread, I became the go-to editor and ghostwriter in business/leadership, memoir, health/well-being, inspiration/spirituality, addiction/trauma recovery, and social justice. As editor-in-chief of a workplace magazine, I also interviewed leaders such as Dr. Maya Angelou and NFL Coach Tony Dungy. I devote myself to keeping an author’s "voice" intact, while obsessing over every detail to make a book compelling and transformational. I love delicious prose (I’m also a closet poet) and thrive on finding the perfect words to reflect a client’s vision; but I’m equally committed to ensuring the outline or arc is clear and robust. As a result, my clients’ books have won international awards, and one is being made into a feature film. Others have been endorsed by celebrities, bestselling authors, and prominent leaders including:-Dr. Drew Pinsky, American media personality, internist, and addiction medicine specialist-Jack Canfield, author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series-Gary Chapman, bestselling author of The Five Love Languages-Mike Ditka, multiple-time Super Bowl champion as a player and as head coach of the Chicago Bears, NFL Coach of the Year -Jennifer Gimenez, American supermodel, actress-Nido Qubein, author, business entrepreneur, and president of High Point University
