I’m here to make the story of your work come to life.
As an actor, I’ve spent years learning how to think like other people, connect to an audience, and uncover what makes a story click from start to finish.
I draw on those unique skills to do the same as a ghostwriter and editor: adopt my clients’ voices, speak to their unique audiences, and thread a strong narrative all the way through.
Let’s work together
I work with individuals, authors, business leaders, and companies across fields, helping to share and amplify their work through distinct storytelling in both long and short forms.
My industry and topic experience spans a wide range:
Executive coaching, leadership, product management, mental health, social psychology, social justice and DEI, human rights, entertainment and employment law, women in leadership, the performing arts, startups, and more.
Working with top experts for years, I have…
Written books that have reached #1 on Amazon
Helped authors hit the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists
10x'd LinkedIn followings and engagement metrics for thought leaders
Helped clients achieve LinkedIn Top Voice status
Organically doubled newsletter subscribers through high-quality content and strategy
Services
-
I help new and experienced authors develop, write, and edit their nonfiction works, ranging from practical business books to personal memoirs.
Bring an idea in its early stages or a full first draft, and I’ll work with you to understand your goals, shape the story, and refine it for publication.
-
Whether short essays, company blogs, or long-form research articles, I dig into new topics quickly, highlight the human narrative within, and construct clear, well-supported arguments.
I also act as a thought partner, helping you tease out ideas and determine the best ways to articulate them.
-
Newsletters are a great tool for sharing your work consistently and building a real community around it.
I help develop newsletters at all stages—whether creating them from the ground up or stepping into long-running operations—writing the content and improving readership and engagement, with value-delivery at the center at every turn.
-
LinkedIn content is my social specialty. I help business leaders and individuals upgrade their profile language and presentation, develop their brand voice, write posts that communicate their insights effectively, and create graphics to illustrate it all.
-
Every brand, book, product launch, and event needs a content strategy to engage its audience. I work with clients to understand their goals for each project, and develop content marketing strategies to fuel their success.
-
Copywriting is storytelling at its most succinct. To attract customers, your copy needs a complete arc—a problem, a solution, and an emotional pull—in as few words as possible. I distill your value proposition into compelling, creative language that grabs attention and converts.
