Think of me as your all-in-one personal guide, writer, technical editor, and thought partner.
As a developmental editor and ghostwriter, my mission is to guide you through the writing process—meeting you exactly where you are, free of judgment, with only support. I believe in creating a partnership that honors your story and values.
Honoring Your Voice and Vision
At the core of my ghostwriting practice is a deep commitment to preserving your unique voice and vision. Writing can often feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to capturing the essence of your story or message. That’s why I approach ghostwriting with compassion. My goal is to create a space where your ideas are valued, your vulnerabilities are met with care, and your goals remain at the center of the entire process.
Authentically You
Empowering Your Vision
Your voice is powerful, and it matters. My role is not to speak for you, but with you—to capture the words and emotions you might find difficult to express. Together, we’ll craft a transformative book that reflects your authentic self—your truth, your experiences, and your values.Ghostwriting is more than writing words on a page; it’s about empowerment. Through our collaboration, I’ll help you break through any barriers that stand in the way of your story. You’ll feel fully supported and empowered as we work to bring your project to life. My goal is for you to confidently share your message, knowing it’s a genuine expression of who you are and what you stand for.
01
Beginning the Ghostwriting Process
My ghostwriting services offer a yearlong, high-touch collaboration designed to honor your voice and your story. We begin with a brief initial consultation, followed by a dedicated one-hour session where I listen deeply to your vision for the book and address your questions, hopes, and concerns.
02
Book Development
Once we decide to move forward together, we schedule a series of in-person or Zoom sessions in which you share the stories, insights, and experiences you want to bring to the page. My role is to listen with care, audio-record and transcribe your words, and hold the narrative arc as it takes shape.
After our recording sessions are complete, I craft a compelling draft that reflects your voice and intention. From there, we review, refine, and co-construct successive drafts—together—until the manuscript feels true, powerful, and complete.
03
The Final Product
Throughout the process, you are never handing your story over and walking away. This is a collaborative, iterative partnership rooted in trust, care, and shared intention. You retain full authorship and ownership of your work; my role is to help you shape, clarify, and bring forward what is already yours.
By the end of our year together, you will have a completed manuscript—and just as importantly, a deeper sense of confidence in your voice and your story. This process is designed not only to produce a book, but to ensure that when your words enter the world, they do so with integrity, clarity, and power.
If you’re ready to honor your story and bring it fully to life, I’d be honored to walk that path with you.
