I’ve been helping people tell their stories from the start of my career, with a book and a series of booklets that I helped write and edit for Dean Emeritus George K. Makechnie while in grad school at Boston University. 

What I learned from sitting with “Dean George” every Saturday for a year is that personal stories come from the heart. And the honor of writing and editing someone else’s story is a heartfelt commitment. 

When we work together, I immerse myself in your world to capture and communicate your essence, insight, voice, and perspective. The result is a book or article that delights your readers and makes you proud. 

A Co-Creative Approach to Ghostwriting.

While it all starts with a free consultation, once the scope of work is clear and you’ve engaged my services, here’s a general idea of how we’ll work together:

Define & Discover

The process begins with a thought-provoking questionnaire designed to help you consider all angles of your project, from the big idea to the small yet critical details that will shape your success as an author. From there, we’ll have an in-depth ideation and mapping session to plan your project. The result is a detailed outline of your unique story.

I Write (or Edit) Your Book

This is where the fun begins! If I’m ghostwriting the whole project, I do all the necessary legwork, including research and interviewing. Once I’m ready to start writing, we’ll work out a plan for your input and review. If you’re doing the writing, I’ll be your sounding board and accountability partner until you’re ready for me to edit the article or manuscript.

Review, Polish, Launch!

For this phase, I often bring in colleagues to help with the finishing touches, including copy editing, proofreading, and, if you’re self-publishing, design, and print. If you need marketing services, I can help with content marketing and have colleagues who specifically work in book promotion. I can coordinate it all for you, or if you have support, I am happy to make referrals.

And then she took the raw material of my story and organized it into something we both are thrilled by and proud of. I loved every minute of our time together and now I have a professional memoir and a lifelong friend.”
