I help authors bring powerful books into the world — books that get results.

Over the past 25+ years, I’ve worked with hundreds of authors and influenced thousands more through my consulting, speaking, and publishing expertise. As founder of The Writer’s Ally, I guide nonfiction authors, novelists, and memoirists to create books that truly deliver — driving business growth, expanding audiences, and earning lasting reviews.

My background includes years as an acquiring editor at Simon & Schuster, as well as book doctoring for most of the Big Five publishers, partnering with literary agents, and supporting independent presses and authors. Along the way, I’ve ghostwritten and developed books for bestselling entrepreneurs, speakers, and consultants — including my credited role on the national bestseller The Way of the SEAL.

I believe the right book can change not only your business, but your life. That’s why I’ve shared proven publishing strategies and advice through numerous published articles, the Writer’s Ally blog as well as on stages and podcasts nationwide.
