A glimpse into the gaze of a ghostwriter.
90% of my written work is ghost-writing —
This means that much of my work is credited those those who give voice to it, or lives beyond bylines — in production notes and runs-of-show.
Despite much of my written work being unavailable, publicly — Privately, I’m grateful to have ghostwritten for a few greats.
Some samples of shareable work can be found, below.
Prose & Personal Narrative
A creative non-fiction writer by trade, my favorite writing projects are steeped in pretty prose and often focused on personal narratives. In addition to privately commissioned storytelling work in support of biographical literature development, I have also authored speeches for Tech and Nonprofit CEOs, NFL and NBA players, Congress-people and State Commissioners. .A few examples of short-form work are below. I’m also a freelance contributor for American Greetings.

White Papers
Some scholarly writing and guidance focused on system transformation and equity-centered strategic planning is publicly available for download and view. While this work is often not seen as creative, it requires a crafting of language that both tells a story and supports strategic buy-in and implementation. Because these projects were largely completed leveraging participatory design and focused on high-stakes, high-impact subject matter, this writing also required a high-level of delicacy in its delivery.
