Ghostwriting

I collaborate with philanthropists, academics, thought leaders, and mission-driven organizations to shape their ideas into stories that change minds and narratives that move people to action. 

With decades of experience in communications strategy and deep expertise in national media relations, I bring a more comprehensive perspective to the work than most ghostwriters. I help clients sharpen messages, understand their audiences, show up on the stages that matter, become trusted sources for influential journalists, and influence the conversations that fuel movements and drive change. 

My clients share a passion for big ideas and an understanding of the power of strategic communications to effect meaningful change. In service of their goals, we might collaborate on op-eds that inspire policy change, thought leadership that builds awareness and audience, and speeches that compel action. Or we might work at a more micro level, honing communications to the board, developing a personal story that illuminates a larger issue, or preparing for a highly consequential one-on-one conversation. 

I have had the privilege of partnering with many leading philanthropies, national nonprofits, and educational institutions to elevate their expertise in the service of social change. Op-eds I have ghostwritten and pitched have been published in the New York Times, Forbes, NPR, Inside Higher Ed, Hechinger Report, the Seattle Times, and many other outlets of influence; speeches I have written have been delivered at the Skoll World Forum, the University of Washington, South by Southwest EDU, and numerous fundraising events and affinity conferences across the country. I have helped elevate the stories of undocumented college students, CEOs, immigrants at our southern border, astrophysicists, college presidents, foster parents, climate justice advocates, and one rogue biologist. 

Thirty years of writing in other people’s voices enable me to ensure your story stays your story as it gets out into the world and influences the change you seek. Let’s connect - I’d love to hear your story.
