Work with me
A book is a promise of a changed life. If you have a life-changing book idea, but you need help bringing it up to its full potential, I can support you in two ways.
Ghostwriting
Over the last 15 years, I’ve helped leaders write bestselling books published by major imprints.
Who I ghostwrite for
I’ve collaborated with Navy SEALs, Harvard-trained physicians, top 1% financial advisors, founders, first responders, nonprofit leaders, and parents sharing the wisdom they want to pass to their children.
Books I’ve written or coached have reached the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Amazon bestseller lists, and have been published by Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Hachette, independent presses, and through self-publishing, and have earned starred reviews from Publishers Weekly.
How ghostwriting works
A Quick Call
First, we can hop on a quick call where I’ll ask about your idea and your audience. Sometimes the idea can be great but the audience can’t support it. Either way, I’ll share my feedback and your best path toward your goals.
A Book Proposal
With nonfiction, before you write the book, you craft a book proposal. I have a proven process that has been successful at getting agents and publishers interested in my clients’ books, and we’ll walk through it together.
Agents and Publishers
I have established literary agents that I work with, but we can also reach out to other agents to find the perfect one for your project. Once we find the right agent, I’ll support you through the process of pitching publishers, and eventually, getting a publishing contract. All that’s left is to write the book!
Tell me about your book
Tell me about your book idea and how you think I can help. If it feels like a fit, we can get started, and if not, I can point you in the direction I think will be best for you and your goals.
Book coaching
I’ve coached thousands of people to write the books they’ve been dreaming about, sometimes for years.
Who I coach
Novelists, memoirists, and nonfiction authors who have brilliant ideas, but struggle to finish them. Or writers who have already finished a book but then find it doesn’t read like the books that changed their lives.
Since founding The Write Practice in 2011, I’ve worked with thousands of writers to help them become authors and accomplish the goals they have for their books. I’m also the author of The Write Structure, a bestselling book on timeless storytelling structure, and I help authors simplify and bolster their existing structure to write books that can be published.
How coaching works
I work with authors in a variety of ways.
A Single Call
One hour on whatever is stuck. This is the right call when you already know the problem and you want a second pair of eyes on it.
Full Manuscript Critique
The whole book, in depth, with a revision plan you can actually follow instead of a pile of notes you’ll avoid.
The Write Practice Programs
Cohort-based programs with a coach and a group around you. Most writers do better with people beside them, and the data on that is not subtle.
