Writer • Ghostwriter • Editor
SUMMARY
Versatile best-selling writer and ghostwriter on topics ranging from personal finance to computer repair, plastic surgery to parenting. I like to collaborate with experts in subjects that are somewhat new to me, so I can ask the questions that readers are most likely to want answered. My strengths are bringing clarity and structure to the material, keeping the author's voice, and injecting humor as appropriate
