I believe that your voice, your message, and your unique way of being are important. My goal is to help you create a story that is "in alignment with you as a human being—and not just some cringe-worthy, tokenized [AI content] that only vaguely resembles you." (quote by Andrea Guevara) As a developmental editor, ghostwriter, and line editor, I have worked with clients from China, India, Uganda, Zanzibar, Trinidad, Morocco, El Salvador, Korea, Hawaii, and more. I help clients tell stories about adoption, immigration, mental health, infant loss, spiritual and sexual abuse, drug recovery, and much more. I write books for business and leadership clients ranging from entrepreneurs to top educational leadership, from public speaking coaches to business people worth $100 million. I provide ghostwriting, developmental editing, and line editing services.
The key to creating an authentic book is "doing the hard work of... exploring your values, your worth, your vision for what you uniquely contribute to the world. There are no shortcuts. Okay, maybe there are, but the results (and consequences) are NOT the same." If you are looking for someone to dedicate the personal time and attention necessary to capture your unique message, please reach out!

Hi, I’m Jackie — a New York-born journalist with a B.A. from Northeastern University and a background working with major news networks, including ABC and NBC. I bring a sharp editorial eye and a strategic approach to writing, editing, proofreading, transcription, and research.
I’ve spent nearly a decade as a full-time freelancer supporting clients across a wide range of industries, helping them clarify their voice, strengthen their messaging, and deliver content that feels polished, professional, and purposeful. From resume and LinkedIn updates to web copy and long-form articles, I focus on work that’s thoughtful, precise, and effective.

Open to both one-off projects and ongoing partnerships!

"To whom it may concern,
I would highly recommend John Altson as a ghostwriter.
I am forever grateful for his support, guidance, patience, and dedication in helping me publish my first children’s book ‘Do you want to take a selfie’.
When publishing my second and third book, he was right their holding my hand. We quickly became good friends.
If you ever have a chance to work with him, consider yourself lucky. He is a charming man who I loved working with."

"John Altson is passionate about writing. He interviewed, researched and wrote a memoir for a close family member. He took the time to get to know her story, spending many hours interviewing, writing, and matching photos to the content. The end result was a terrific document that our family will treasure."
