About
Prior to accepting a project I ask two questions: The first is - "Do I and the client share the same vision?" The second is "Is there a story to tell?" My writing is heavily story-focused. Facts and figures are critical but only when they fall in place with a larger story. There are many great people. Not all of them have a story to tell. For me, writing and sory-telling are indistinguishable from each other. And that is what makes "vision alignment" so important. Facts are indisputable but "stories" can be questioned. Two people could look at the same theme and see two different stories. For a project to work, an understanding has to worked out from the get-go.

This number is built only from contracts paid start to finish through Notable Authors. Nothing self-reported is counted. The clients behind it are real and anonymous: a redaction bar sits where each name would be. How that works →
The record
What this proves →Nothing here yet, and nothing on any profile yet. This site is new. A record appears when a whole book has been written and paid for through it, so the first ones are months away.
Selected credits
Self-reportedProvided by the writer. Most ghostwriting is confidential, so we cannot confirm these and do not present them as fact.
