2 NATIONAL BESTSELLERS I am “writer behind the writer” of twenty-four books, including two bestsellers.
WHAT I DO I write the book you would have written, recreating your voice and style. I bring out the sparkle just beneath your book’s surface, and give it a shape and momentum that carry it to a larger audience. My work is featured in Susan Harrow’s Get a Six-Figure Book Advance. My specialties are self-help, how to, psychology, creativity, spirituality, memoir, and motivation
| | EXPERIENCE - 2 national bestsellers, and 22 other books
- 30 years in the publishing industry as developmental editor, acquisitions editor, book doctor, and ghostwriter
- My own successful book, The Soul of Selling (www.soulofselling.com)
WHY GHOSTWRITING? A book gives you tremendous credibility and media access, but not everyone knows how to put together a bestselling book quickly, painlessly, and well. I don't rotate my own tires, and you don't need to take time and energy away from your work to struggle with a manuscript. Let me do it for you in a way that is professional, efficient, and inspired. HOW I WORK We can start at any point—a gleam in your eye, some notes, an outline, or a complete book that, as one client said, “wants to go to charm school.” I charge a flat rate, with no residuals, co-authorship or percentages. The book, the rights, the money it earns, and the public relations benefits all go solely to you. I can usually complete a book in 3-4 months.
WHAT IS UNIQUE I don’t just work with words; I work with people. I find out what my clients want their books to do for them, so we can shape the book to produce that result. As a former developmental and acquisitions editor who evaluated 650 submissions and edited 27 manuscripts, I know what editors want. As the author of The Soul of Selling, I appreciate what it takes to shape your message into a book. CLIENTS My clients are speakers and leaders of all kinds, entrepreneurs, coaches, therapists, and just plain folks who have a message to share with the world, but who don’t have the time or inclination to master the art of writing a potentially bestselling nonfiction book.
I maintain my clients’ confidentiality, but references are available on request.
