I am an excellent choice for life stories of all kinds. I offer a complete service that other writers cannot provide. I am a full-service editor as well as a writer. Whether you are a survivor, an achiever, or life has taught you lessons you can share with others - I can help you tell your story. My expertise is with voice and vivid use of imagery. Authenticity is a strength that has allowed me to creatively manipulate details to drive intrigue into fictional plots and add substance to both autobiographical stories and biographical ones. I offer the written word air to breathe life onto pages for professional or personal use.

I am an award-winning writer whose work has appeared traditionally published anthologies and top tier magazines. I now proudly provide ghostwriting, publishing, writing coaching, and publishing consulting services. My clients include Fortune 500 executive coaches and consultants, Inc. 5000 CEOs and founders, household name celebrities, regular contributors to top-of-industry websites like Forbes and KevinMD, small business owners, and ordinary people with extraordinary stories to tell. While I provide services to CEOs and celebrities, I also strive to keep my services accessible to small businesses and ordinary people. My prices for full book production including ghostwriting and publishing range from $3,000-$10,000, and I believe based on years of working with various publishers that my services are the best in my accessible price range. I know that everyone has at least one book in them, and personal and family memoirs are near and dear to my heart. My most unique background as a writer is that I also have a strong background in science and medicine, including five years' experience coordinating clinical research and a B. S. in Neuroscience from the University of Michigan. I have assisted physician-scientists, physician-entrepreneurs, healthcare companies, and biohackers with publicity and educational books for this reason.

I am a creative content professional with over 10 years' experience writing for both print and online. I excel at asking critical questions that your audience will also ask so that we produce sales pages, e-mails, and content they actually want to read. I understand how to adapt content to the medium whether it's a tweet or a dissertation. I helped one client restart their e-mail signups, and I helped another grow Facebook page likes by 30% in six months. I have posted curated content that matched or outpaced promoted content for organic likes and shares. In my web copy and email newsletters I focus on substance over sensationalism because I believe your best clients want something to think about or enjoy and not just a sales pitch. My particular interests are in the food and beverage industries, especially beer and spirits, but my academic side can find something interesting in any business that is solving problems creatively.

I have over thirty years of experience in editing and ghostwriting, along with crafting a manuscript to a professional level. When I edit a piece or ghostwrite content, I start by listening to what the client wants to say, then help them say it in a clear, engaging, and expressive way. I don't use any type of software to shape a client's piece. I craft every sentence and paragraph myself while building the manuscript word by word.

I've been a professional ghostwriter since 2006. I'm the credited and published author of numerous books and stories. I write fantasy, science fiction, romance, and western. My goal is to write well, to be creative, and provide quality work for my clients. I would like the chance to work with clients who appreciate the importance of producing quality writing. In terms of my approach to writing, I am what many call a pantser or a discovery writer. Basically, I don't use outlines when I write but let the characters drive the story. I believe some of my best work is produced this way. However, I can write based on provided outlines, plot summaries, prompts, and tropes per a client's needs.
