I’m a writer and editor first, but I have a secret ingredient: I’m also a musician who can tap into the organic qualities of your individual expression, the rhythms and stylistic choices living inside your use of language.

Working with Byron

To me, the crux of a successful memoir collaboration is TRUST, CARING and LISTENING. They say there is an art to being a good listener. As a ghostwriter and an instinctively caring human being, listening intently comes naturally to me—it is born of true empathy. It doesn’t come from formal training; there are no classes to learn how to be empathetic. You either have it or you don’t; you either trust or you don’t, and if you do those things with your heart, you will be able to faithfully capture anyone’s story, interpret it in a creative and honest way—a way that is either a legacy, business proposition or an inspiring and uplifting story.  Learn more about how Byron works with you.
