Due to the nature of ghostwriting, I am unable to list the books I have worked on in that capacity. For more information on these projects, please visit the Clients page.
The following is a sampling of the hundreds of pieces I have written for online outlets such as AOL, Forbes, and Disney Family and print publications such as the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and Where Berlin, where I also served as an interim managing editor and editorial consultant.
