What do you get from reading manuscripts for twenty years? An appreciation for the diversity and equality of life's drama. Clearly everyone has a story to tell, whether it's the story of their life, or their life's work. Yet, the ability to do so in a way that celebrates the story's full strength and beauty...that's exceedingly rare.

Skills that extend beyond the mechanics of writing: strength and clarity of communication, consistency of voice, and the building of a structured argument. I've worked consistently to bridge the space between ideas and their fullest possible expression as an editor and agent.

An ear for narrative. I can conceptualize books; see what's required and what will work in today's highly competitive publishing world. Beyond recognizing the story's heart, beyond telling it well, I know how to honor its audience. By making the writing sing.

If you have an original concept, story, or professional world to convey, I can help you transform it into a nonfiction book. My ghostwriting clients include celebrities and professionals; remarkable individuals who have an audience, and are ready to expand their circle of influence.

While I can't guarantee a sale, I've worked with every major publisher in the business. I understand how to market a book, to publishers and readers.

From the personal to the practical, I've written all manner of nonfiction: biography, psychology, parenting, business, lifestyle, and how-to.

The process involves interviews, and the writing of a proposal and/or book-length manuscript. Proposals generally take two to four months; complete manuscripts can take six to nine months. Author credit and fees are negotiable based on the project.
