Hire the Best Book Writers in California

I am a bestselling and award-winning author, editor, ghostwriter, and storyteller with multiple published books and years of experience helping clients bring powerful stories to life. My own novels have reached the top of Amazon bestseller lists, earned literary awards, and received praise from respected review organizations including Readers' Favorite, The Midwest Book Review, and Online Book Club. Beyond my own work, I have helped authors develop, refine, and publish books across a wide range of genres and subjects. As a ghostwriter, I work closely with clients to transform ideas, outlines, and rough concepts into compelling manuscripts that feel authentic to their voice and vision. Whether you're starting with a detailed plan or a single spark of inspiration, I can help shape it into a finished book. As an editor, I offer both developmental editing and line editing services. Developmental editing focuses on the larger elements of storytelling and structure such as plot, pacing, character development, organization, theme, and reader engagement, while line editing refines the prose itself for clarity, flow, style, and impact. I have edited numerous books that have gone on to successful publication, helping authors strengthen both the foundation and execution of their work. My storytelling experience extends beyond books. I have worked on fiction and nonfiction projects, video game narratives, and stories across multiple creative mediums. Regardless of format, my focus remains the same: creating engaging experiences that connect with audiences and leave a lasting impression. Writing a book is a major undertaking. It requires time, patience, creativity, and careful planning. Many people have a story they want to tell but lack the time, experience, or confidence to bring it to the page. That's where I come in. Whether you need a ghostwriter, developmental editor, line editor, story consultant, or creative partner, I can help you turn your ideas into a polished and professional finished product.

I'm here to give your book, script, or content the same attention, care, and experience I have given major publishers, producers of $100M+ films, and the world's largest tech companies. Gratefully, 15 years ago, my first book was picked up by Harper Collins, debuted on Amazon at #1, and enjoyed massive publicity to the point of becoming an answer on Jeopardy(!). I've been a professional creative writer ever since, as a fiction and nonfiction book author, co-author and ghostwriter - except for the fact I also love filmmaking and screenwriting and have, again gratefully, worked directly with my fair share of Academy Award-winning producers and directors here in LA. I'm passionate about all writing and I love what I do! I can - ghostwrite your piece the way I have for major publishers. - co-author with you the way I did on a book that debuted at #1 on Amazon in true crime. - coach you through writing your book or script like I have with dozens of writers. - consult with you on story/ rewrite your script the way I have with Oscar-winning directors and producers. - help you create content and articles that grab and keep eyeballs, the way I have for Oracle VPs, etc. I also know what it's like to bare your soul and invite others to help with your creative work. It's a little bit like standing naked on a stage and I know it's not easy. I hire friends, editors, and writers to read and edit my own work all the time - we are all in this together, and we can all use help! Also deep down in my resume is the fact I've been both a high school and university Literature and Writing teacher so - I have all the grammar and style stuff covered, and I've got an extra dose of patience. It's always a priority to maintain the right voice (usually, yours) while still crafting a page-turner that absolutely nails every single beat of story structure. I'm highly collaborative and easy to work with, partially because I've, well, seen it all. Fiction, nonfiction, film, television, web3, true crime, YA, fantasy, memoir, travelogue, medical, whistleblower, biography, technical writing, comedy, drama, content creation, you name it, I've written or edited it. Apart from my nonfiction and fiction book authoring and editing, I have 25 years of experience as a filmmaker - as script supervisor, development, casting director, editor, and composer. I've done quite a bit of various film and TV work at the highest levels over the years, always training myself to learn every facet of both the literary and filmmaking worlds. When it comes to screenwriting, it sure helps to have that kind of production experience. I always look at every project - book or film, from poetry to biz docs - from a holistic, high angle view in terms of commercial viability as well as artistic integrity. It always starts with theme. So the first question is - what do you care about? What do you need people to hear? Then we drop some structure on it, pay special attention to the voice - and work it till we're happy :) I'm here to help and happy to chat. And for the heck of it, apart from the fact that I've had 6-figure book deals with Harper Collins and The Pegasus Books Group, here are some other individuals and entities I've worked with, directly: Sean Penn, Roland Emmerich, Spike Lee, Kevin Smith, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Jerry Bruckheimer, Chris Carter, Mark Gordon, Emile Hirsch, Scott Rudin, Jim Carrey, Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger, Jackie Chan, Jennifer Garner, Mark Hamill, Meat Loaf Aday, Jack Douglas (music producer—John Lennon), Ziggy Marley, Damian and Julian Marley, Brandy, Third World, Shabba Ranks, Shaggy, Fran Drescher, David Levy (Robert Altman producer), Ed Saxon (producer Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia, Beloved), Larry Cano (producer, Silkwood), Niels Juul (producer Martin Scorsese, Michael Mann), Roger Corman, an Elder Scroll founder, Nebula and Hugo Award-winning YA author Nnedi Okorafor, Sony, Dreamworks, Walden, Centropolis, WB, MTV, Paramount, NBC, CBS, FOX, and my own indie films as writer/ director/ producer/ editor have gone to festivals including Montreal and Gasparilla. Whew! If you got this far - thanks!
