    Should I Hire a Ghostwriter?

    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. In other words, you’re already writing your book or

    The Power of the Triangle

    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

    The Problem and the Solution

    You know you have a book in you. You dream of creating a book that will persuade people--that will help them in concrete ways by communicating the mindset, techniques and specific approaches that have taken you so far in your field. You want to save people from the mistakes you made. A book can do this. A good book can also open doors in your own business--doors to new clients, to publicity and speaking opportunities. A book is a powerful thing to offer up to the world and to

    Why Haven’t You Written Your Book?

    You’ve been saying it for years: “I need to write a book.” But something is stopping you, and it’s probably the fear that it’ll just take too much time. Good news: I’m here to help! It’s true, writing a book takes some time—hours you’d rather spend with your family, time you need to devote to working or building your business. Nevertheless, if a project or goal is important to you, you’ll make time for it. And your book is important. That’s why the idea keeps tickling you bra

    What I've Learned as an Executive Ghostwriter

    I’ve been an executive ghostwriter working with life coaches, leadership coaches, entrepreneurs and personal development experts for many years now, and I’ve learned so much in that time—not just about what makes a good book, but what makes the entire process of creating a book enjoyable. Read on for my key reflections, and reach out to me if you have a book idea! Don’t focus too much on length. Sure, we all have a few standard ideas about how long a book should be, but those

    Ask Your Ghostwriter if She’s Ever Tended Bar

    When you’re trying to figure out which ghostwriter to hire, you’ll probably look for someone with a lot of energy and enthusiasm for your subject. You’ll want to know whether she’s been writing for a long time. You need to know she’s a pro at interviewing and topic organization, and you should find out if she has a passion for books and genuine curiosity about your industry. But to make the experience particularly enjoyable, you should be vetting for personality as well. Here

    Ask Your Ghostwriter Whose Writing Style She Admires

    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. Reading someone’s book is the next best thing to sitting next to them at a party. So…if you hire a ghostwriter to write your book, it should be written in the style you prefer to best capture your unique voice and wa
