Ghostwriting
Even the best ideas need to be teased out and refined before they become truly compelling stories. Beyond simply collaborating with clients, I challenge them to clarify and understand their vision as we work together to craft a book, blog or social media content that has impact.
Non-fiction books
Ghostwriters work with individuals, companies and organizations in better understanding their content goals—and then help author books in their distinctive voice.
