I help nonfiction authors express their own, authentic voice in a compelling, publishable book manuscript.

“John is one of our favorite go-to guys for strategic editing, ghostwriting, and coaching. He’s a great partner for authors to have in their corner.”

Naren Aryal 
CEO, Amplify Publishing Group

I’ve been ghostwriting books for 25 years, and John is one of a handful of ghosts to whom I refer authors. He’s a skilled writer, has knowledge of a broad range of topics, and is a pleasure to work with. I can’t recommend him too highly.

My Book Projects (so far)

Many of these books were ghostwriting or collaboration projects. Others involved intensive, developmental editing. Still others are the result of coaching relationships. (Most of these titles are in print, or soon will be.)
