Hi and thanks for stopping by!

I’ve been working as a developmental editor and ghostwriter long before anyone Googled the phrase, "Can AI help me write my book?" (spoiler alert: Not a good one!)—and have dedicated my career to helping nonfiction authors bring their visions to life.

My development as a writer and editor has been significantly shaped by working alongside some of the most prolific authors and influential thought leaders of our time, including Jack Canfield, Deepak Chopra, and Debbie Ford. My time with each of these extraordinary human beings changed my life and provided invaluable hands-on experience in crafting compelling narratives, developing effective content strategies, and refining manuscripts from concept to publication. I now bring this expertise to every project, empowering non-fiction authors like you to share their unique perspectives and expertise with the world.

My areas of expertise include:
• Ghostwriting: Transform your ideas into a compelling book manuscript, even if writing isn't your strong suit.
• Book Editing: From big picture/developmental editing to line editing, I'll polish your manuscript to perfection, ensuring clarity, consistency, and a strong narrative voice.
• Content Creation: Craft engaging and SEO-targeted content, including blogs & articles, podcast & YouTube scripts, website & email copy, media pitches, book proposals and other marketing materials.
• Course Development: Create impactful online learning courses, coaching programs, and supporting resources that educate and inspire your audience.
• Audience Engagement: Develop effective lead magnets like quizzes and eBooks to attract new clients while strengthening engagement with your existing audience.
