I’ve written for Saturday Night Live, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, A Black Lady Sketch Show, and A Little Late with Lilly Singh. As well as digital giants like E! News, BuzzFeed, and Bustle.

I work with founders, executives, and creators as a LinkedIn ghostwriter, content strategist, and advisor on content creation/strategy, community management and team building. I help clients transform existing conversations, media, and expertise into content that builds trust, attracts opportunities, and strengthens their position in the market. That includes content strategy, positioning, messaging, profile optimization, and maintaining a consistent presence without creating more work for the client. 📈 Experience • 2,000+ posts written • 200,000+ followers generated • 50M+ views • Worked alongside top LinkedIn creators (I wrote Justin Welsh's newsletter and was his community manager and I wrote for and managed LinkedIn & Facebook for Alex Hormozi) and lots of other founders running 7, 8, and 9-figure businesses P.S. In addition to content and positioning work, I also work with some clients as a confidential advisor and strategic sounding board. Founders often come to me with challenges involving their business, offer, positioning, marketing, or growth strategy. After listening, I'm usually able to distill a complicated situation down to a few sentences. The response is often something like: "How did you figure out in 30 seconds what I've been struggling to articulate for 3 months?" I don't claim to have all the answers. But I'm very good at asking the right questions to help people identify true underlying problems. I've been told that sometimes clarity is more helpful than advice. P.P.S. I've worked with founders in the fields of: AI, marketing, Real Estate, Banking, Fintech, Shipping, Manufacturing, DTC, Coaching, Agriculture, Apps, Fitness, Non-Profits & more

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, through ghostwriting and editing, I have helped authors develop, refine, and publish books across a wide range of genres and subjects. When ghostwriting, 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 far as editing, 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.
