There are five specific items to consider when you are evaluating the quality of a nonfiction book.

Are you a life coach or business coach looking to write a great book in 2020? Here are some common mistakes to avoid.

The short answer is: “Yes!” I admit I am biased. Let’s dig a little deeper into this question to determine if now is the time for you and I to work together. 1. The answer is yes if your desire to write a book has gone from a vague dream to a specific goal with a set timeframe. You know what you want to say and you are determined to finish and publish your book THIS YEAR. You’ve made your decision; the rest is just details.

Something cool happened to me this year. I discovered Brooke Castillo, a powerhouse coach and entrepreneur based in Dallas. Brooke is a wonderful teacher who does a weekly podcast, now consisting of more than 225 episodes. She discusses all the things that can hold us back in life—anxiety, limiting beliefs, drama, a victim mentality—and all the things that can power us forward in huge, amazing ways—planning, believing in impossible things, setting goals, gratitude and uncondi

If you’re hiring a ghostwriter to help you write your book, a big part of her job is conveying your message in YOUR voice. The best books are often conversational, which simply means that when you’re reading them, it feels like the author is talking right to you.

I was recently asked by a potential client to think about how the experience of working together could be designed to exceed both our expectations. Great question! As a Florida-based executive ghostwriter, I gave this some deep thought today and came up with some key factors. The best client/writer relationships need: 1. Clear project goals. Whether it is a whole book, a white paper, an article, or a blog, it is essential for a writer to understand a client’s hopes and dreams

Let’s start with two truths: Everyone has a book in them. Not everyone has what it takes to actually write it. Do you agree with the first premise? I really do. It’s pretty much impossible to live on this planet for a few decades and not accumulate specific wisdom or stories you’d like to share with others. As we all grow more and more specialized in our fields of work, or excel in serving our communities or our families, we piece together a million tips, tricks, insights and

Lately, I've been doing a lot of thinking about the stories we tell ourselves. Stories are perhaps the most powerful force on Earth, and the stories we loop in our minds shape everything we do, every day. Some stories are very helpful.
