A professional writer, ghostwriter, and editor, I've written nonfiction books for major publishers, and memoirs for private individuals. My most recent project is:
Simplcity Parenting
SIMPLICITY PARENTING: Using the Extraordinary Power of Less to Raise Calmer, Happier, and More Secure Kids, a parenting book (which I wrote for Kim John Payne), and which Ballantine just published.
My work is informed by my experience as a literary agent...years of guiding authors and doing daily battle with the written word. I understand the process—from ideas to finished books—and what's required for success each step of the way. Having written, ghostwritten, edited, agented, packaged, collaborated on, and coached many books into publication, I can bring your work—your book idea or life story—to fruition.


Your ideas and expertise transformed into a high caliber nonfiction book.

"I am so pleased! These opening pieces are so lucid and so compassionate—the narrative feels nurturing and instructive at the same time. That's a difficult thing to pull off, but you've done it! There's an elegance and effortlessness to the writing."
—Marnie Cochran, Editor, Random House


Finely crafted personal and family memoirs...memories made into a legacy.

"My mother and father both wept as they held the book. The party—with over 100 people!—was completely hushed, watching them turn each page."—Eva P


Coaching, creative development, hands-on editorial support.

"My deepest gratitude for your wise counsel and good-natured enthusiasm...your unfaltering support and creative energy fuel me every step of the way."
—Dr. Kathleen Brehony
Author of After the Darkest Hour, Ordinary Grace, and Living a Connected Life
