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!

An award-winning writer with nearly two decades of experience, my stories and articles have been featured in everything from graphic novels and magazines to newspapers and websites.
I have a talent for making lesser-known stories come alive and have put my writing and research skills to use exploring such wide-ranging topics as obscure adventure sports, scientific innovators and pioneers, and political leaders that have reshaped the world. While contributing to projects as short as single page comic strips and as long as full-length graphic novels, my work has regularly dealt with subjects both serious and sublime and I have received particular acclaim for my humor and dialogue.
With a bachelor degree in political science and an extensive editorial background, I can offer a wide-range of writing services and a quick turnaround for tight deadlines.

Words open worlds real and imagined. Whether it is creating characters, painting scenarios, provoking thought, making information come to life, or compelling the reader to emotions and actions words are beautiful and powerful. I help people find their voices and express themselves through the words they might have trouble finding or bringing from thought to page. Already have something written? Let me polish up what you've created to bring your writing to its full potential. For a detailed overview of my writing and editing work, please keep reading. If you're ready to work together, I'm ready to interview.
Professionally, I've been a wordsmith since 2015. From semi-autobiographical fiction to full-fledged fiction and biographies, from business and marketing, academia to history books, About Us pages and mission statements, SEO-rich content to writing from the heart -- I've put it all to page for myself and others. I've helped many transform the scenes, stories, thoughts, and characters in their minds and transform them into words on a page.
My portfolio includes having written and edited numerous published non-fiction books as well as content such as website Homepages, "About Us" and FAQs, and biographies. As a developmental editor, I help authors give depth and life to their work. On the other side of things, I've helped several sites grow working as an SEO-focused copywriter and bringing products to life with creative descriptions. I've also written and edited I'm a versatile writer that can adapt to any tone and style.
I have experience writing long and short articles on a wide variety of subjects including those involving research, blogs, short public speaking pieces and wedding speeches, newsletters, press releases, fun/humorous pieces, and I especially love writing fun song parodies.
AI is great--but it's not a human and it needs skilled human help. Whether you want AI assisted or 100% human writing, I am that skilled help. I've been honing my skills on a professional and volunteer level for many years. I'm also in an ongoing program one night a week aimed at improving research, writing, and public speaking skills. Extensive vocabulary, strong grammar, and syntax skills. I love the Oxford comma! Highly analytical. Strong skills in the logical development of themes and subject matter.
