Individual Services

Ghostwriting/Writing Support

Think of me as your personal writing coach, who can either assist you in organizing your book, writing your book or ghostwriting it for you. There are many ways I can help, including:

  • Talking with you about your ideas, goals and vision to help identify the most compelling story and the intended audience

  • Interviewing you to pull out pertinent information for the book

  • Researching and reporting

  • Helping to organize (Ex: Creating a summary, chapters and outline)

  • Writing the book

  • Creating potential book titles and subtitles

  • Helping identify potential publishers and agents, if applicable

  • Overseeing the production of a self-published book

  • Helping you with a marketing strategy for the book

Family Histories/Personal Memoirs

What can you give someone who seemingly has everything? A personalized book commemorating their family’s life and history.

With the popularity of 23andMe and Ancestry.com, many families are exploring their family history. But a family is about more than their DNA.

Chronicling your family’s story in a book can be a wonderful keepsake and a priceless gift for life.

I can help capture your family history by:

  • Interviewing you and other family members

  • Organizing your story

  • Researching your story/family history

  • Writing the story

  • Editing the story

Corporate/Businesses & Organizations

Anniversaries, Milestones, Innovations, Creations

I can help you write a book to celebrate the Big Moments in your business or organization.

Videos are wonderful but they’re fleeting. A book can be held, proudly displayed on a coffee table and given as a gift to commemorate the work you do.

Thought Leadership

Blogs, opinion pieces and LinkedIn messaging are great avenues to share your expertise and continue to establish yourself as a thought leader. I have ghostwritten thought leadership pieces that have appeared in Crain’s Cleveland and other publications.

In addition, a book is an essential marketing tool for thought leaders. Books are a great way to establish your expertise and garner media interviews.
