Do you want to write a book? I can help.
- I can serve as your nonfiction ghostwriter, editor, or book coach, helping you make sure your book is of high quality.
- What do I know about books? I have more than 20 years of experience working in the publishing industry. I have authored, ghostwritten, or edited more than 100 nonfiction books for such publishers as Penguin Random House, Hay House, Macmillan, New World Library, Little Brown, Hyperion, Perseus, and more. This includes 43 nonfiction books that I have written – 11 as an author and 32 as a ghostwriter. Check out some of the books I’ve worked on.
- Literary agents and publishing houses regularly recommend me to their authors for books and book proposals. I specialize in self-help / prescriptive nonfiction and memoirs.
- Books that I have worked on have won 50+ awards, and three have appeared on The New York Times Best Seller List.
- Book proposals that I write or edit regularly sell to big publishing houses, often receiving multiple offers and going into auction.
- I have also published poetry and fiction, so I bring my creative storytelling skills to my nonfiction work.
- Read my full bio, and read testimonials from my clients and students.
- As a coach in my Finish Your Book Group Coaching Program, I can work with you one-on-one to make sure your book idea, title/subtitle, and outline are professional and marketable. Then, you’ll feel more certain that your book is “good enough.”

WHAT HOLDS YOU BACK FROM WRITING YOUR BOOK?
I talk to people every day who want to write a book, but something stops them. Usually, I hear one of the following:
“I don’t know how to do it.”
“I keep procrastinating.”
“I worry that my book won’t be ‘good enough.'”
“I started my book, but I don’t seem to be able to finish it.”
Some people put their dream of writing a book on the shelf for decades. It’s heartbreaking.
This is why I started my Finish Your Book Group Coaching Program for self-help / teaching book / how-to book writers.
Since ghostwriting and editing is so time-consuming, I was only able to work with a handful of people each year for the first decade of my career. Yet, I spoke every year with dozens of aspiring authors who needed and wanted help. They wanted to write their own book, however, or they simply couldn’t afford the five-figure cost of a ghostwriter.
Enter my Finish Your Book Group Coaching Program – a way for me to help more people finish their book and get their important message out into the world…for a fraction of the cost of a ghostwriter (and a fraction of the cost of most other book-writing programs out there).
I love helping people become published authors. It means a great deal to me to play a part in getting more positive messages into the hands of the readers who need them.
