You know your story matters. You just can't find the through-line. So every time someone asks how you got here, you either give them your resume or disappear into a tangent. You're not unclear because you lack a story. You're unclear because you're too close to see the one you actually have.
A 90-minute deep dive story extraction session.
Who it's For: Leaders, founders, and entrepreneurs who know they need to sharpen their narrative but aren't ready to commit to a full engagement. Those preparing for a keynote, a book proposal, a rebrand, a career pivot, or a major life transition—and realizing their story isn't landing the way it should. Those who have been telling their story for years but feel like it shifts every time they tell it. Anyone who senses there's a compelling arc in their experience but can't see it clearly from the inside.
What you'll receive:
-
90-minute deep dive extraction session
-
Narrative mapping: the through-line identified and articulated
-
Written Story Brief: your core arc and emotional hook
-
Specific applications for how to use your story across platforms, pitches, or projects
Clients often move from here into a retainer or a full memoir project.
You have a voice. You have a story. You just don't have the time or bandwidth to translate it into consistent, on-brand content every single month. So your LinkedIn goes quiet for six weeks, your newsletter stalls, and the version of you that shows up online doesn't match the leader you actually are.
Monthly Content Ghostwriting
Who it's For: Established leaders and executives who need someone to maintain and extend their narrative voice across platforms; consistently, invisibly, and strategically. This includes those who need a consistent LinkedIn presence, founders who want a newsletter that actually sounds like them, and leaders whose online voice has fallen behind who they actually are. Not a content mill. Someone who knows your story well enough to write as you.
What you'll receive:
-
Onboarding narrative deep-dive to extract your voice, tone, and key story assets, customized to your scope
-
LinkedIn content
-
Email newsletter or Substack
-
Speeches or talking points as needed within scope
Minimum 3-month engagement. Scope and platforms customized to your needs.
This is the full engagement: from first conversation to finished manuscript. Two distinct paths depending on what you're building.
Memoir
You've been carrying this story for years. You know it needs to exist. As a book, as a legacy, as something permanent that captures not just what happened but what it meant. But every time you sit down to write it, you either stare at a blank page or produce something that sounds nothing like the person you are when you're telling this story out loud.
Who it's for: People who have lived something significant and want it written with the full weight it deserves. Not a summary of events, a real book, with literary craft, emotional honesty, and a narrative that holds together from first page to last. Often those in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who have been thinking about this book for longer than they’d like to admit.
Narrative Nonfiction
You have expertise, a perspective, or a body of experience that deserves more than a series of LinkedIn posts. You want a book that does real work in the world, that positions you, opens doors, and says something that couldn't be said any other way.
Who it's for: Executives, founders, and leaders who understand that a book is not a vanity project. It's a business asset, a credibility marker, and often the single most powerful thing they will ever put their name on. Those whose story has a specific argument embedded in it, a way of seeing an industry, a method, a hard won point of view.
What you'll receive in both:
-
Comprehensive intake and story mapping
-
Deep dive extraction sessions: unhurried, thorough, structured
-
Full manuscript development tailored to your project and voice
-
Developmental guidance and structural support at every stage
-
Milestone based delivery, customized to your timeline and goals
Timeline: 6–12 months depending on scope.
Are we a match?
My clients come in knowing they have something worth saying, even when they're not sure yet exactly what shape the story takes. They're thoughtful, willing to go to honest places, and they understand that the writing takes time.
I'm not the right fit if you want something done fast or cheap, or if you need someone to tell you it's all great. Good work requires real collaboration. Good writing requires real trust.
Still not sure? Book a free 30-minute call. I'll tell you honestly if I can help.

FAQ
Questions people usually ask before reaching out
Only if you tell them. Ghostwriting is a longstanding, legitimate practice with a long history, used by public figures, published authors, executives, and leaders at every level. Everything I write is legally and entirely yours: the words, the manuscript, the copyright.
Because every project is different. The scope of a Content Ghostwriting Retainer depends entirely on what you need; platform mix, volume, complexity. The scope of a full memoir depends on your story, your timeline, and how much material we're working from.
Through deep listening and a lot of careful work. We spend extended time together in conversation, talking about your story, your work, your way of seeing things. I study not just what you say but how you say it: word choices, pacing, what you emphasize, where you get quiet, what you find funny. By the time I start drafting, I've been living in your voice for a while.
Many clients begin with a Story Clarity Session, it's the lowest commitment way to work together and often the clearest way to see whether a larger project makes sense. But you can also come in at any tier. Book a free call and we'll figure out where you actually are.
Not directly. Publishing is its own industry, and I'm not a literary agent or a publisher. What I can do is help you produce a manuscript that's ready to go wherever you want to take it, and give you an honest orientation on the landscape: traditional publishing, hybrid publishing, self publishing, and what each path tends to involve. If you need introductions, I'll make the ones I can.
Yes, if you're in Los Angeles or the Southern California area, I'm happy to meet in person. Most of my working process happens remotely, but there's something about the early story conversations that benefits from being in the same room. If you're local, just say so when you reach out.
Memoir, business life stories, narrative nonfiction, and ongoing content ghostwriting for executives, entrepreneurs, and founders. What connects all of it: the work requires extracting a real voice and shaping it into something that actually holds together on the page. If you're unsure whether your project is the right fit, the best thing to do is book a call and describe what you're working on.
Most people who reach out don’t feel ready. They feel like they need to organize their thoughts first, or wait until they have more time, or get clearer on the story before they talk to anyone. But clarity is usually what happens during the conversation, not before it. If you’ve been thinking about this long enough to land on this page, you’re ready to at least have the call.
Copywriting is persuasion focused writing built for marketing: ads, websites, email campaigns, sales pages. It’s usually short form, conversion oriented, and written to represent a brand rather than a specific person. The goal is to move someone toward an action.
Ghostwriting is narrative writing built for voice. It’s usually long form: books, memoirs, essays, speeches, and ongoing editorial content. The entire point is that it sounds like a specific person, not a brand. The goal is to capture and extend someone’s authentic perspective in writing they couldn’t produce themselves, or don’t have the time to.
In practice, the two overlap. Particularly in the Content Ghostwriting Retainer, where I’m writing LinkedIn posts and newsletters that are both narrative and persuasive. But the orientation is different: copywriting optimizes for conversion, ghostwriting optimizes for voice. I come from the ghostwriting tradition, which means the primary question I’m always asking is: does this sound like you?
