Ghostwriter
& Book Coach

I help speakers, coaches, and teachers become authors and win more clients by writing books that position them as experts.

Finally ready to write your book, but not sure where to start?
Let me help!
My clients have published widely (through Hay House), self-published through Amazon, and used their books to grow massive email lists. Whatever your goals, I can help you achieve them.
Being an author opens up a whole new avenue of lead generation and sales. It gives you an impressive calling card to approach media, book speaking events, and pre-sell your leads before you ever get on the phone with them.This is some text inside of a div block.
I’ll take care of the entire process—from outline to “the end.”

About me

I’ve been a professional ghostwriter since 2010. I’ve created thousands of blog posts, newsletters, marketing messages, product descriptions, email marketing campaigns (including 100+ email funnel campaigns to sell $2k online courses), and more. You name it, I’ve written it!

When one of my clients was approached by a major publishing house, she asked me to ghostwrite her book. I happily agreed . . . and found my favorite way to help my clients.

Now I focus on ghostwriting books and other long-form content. I work closely with each client to emulate their communication style (your book will sound like YOU), and walk them through self-publishing to take the stress out of the process. If you’d rather pursue traditional publishing, I can help you take steps in that direction—from finding the right agent to putting together a winning proposal. I’m also an experienced book coach, and an audiobook narrator and producer.

I look forward to helping you create your book!

"This was the best experience I could have hoped for.”

“I had never worked with a ghostwriter before and let me tell you, this was the best experience I could have hoped for. Leslie was a dream to work with and so professional. She definitely knows her trade. She really got to know me and that totally reflected in her writing. With all the information that was given to her, it was so amazing how she was able to put it in story form. It amazed me how she wrote what I was thinking and how I would say it. The writing flowed so well and even though it was a very informative book about hormones, she wrote it in a way that read like a story. I will definitely use her again for my next book. She will also be the narrator for Audible.”

“I needed someone who could meet me on my wavelength.”

“I’m a coach for people on the spiritual path. I had wanted to write a book for quite some time, but I do not have expertise in that area. I work face to face with my clients. Yet I knew that they would appreciate having a text that encompassed the ideas we discussed in our sessions. I also knew that such a book could serve as an excellent marketing tool. When I met Leslie in a cafe, it was truly synchronicity. I needed someone who could meet me on my wavelength and understand the spiritual concepts I communicate about. Leslie was the one! We began weekly meetings, and she proved more than capable of grasping even complicated concepts and running with them. Working with her was a joy. She was a pleasure to spend time with and incorporated my edits into her work seamlessly. The completed book is exactly what I wanted. My clients complement me on it all the time. They share it with others on the spiritual path, which has led to referrals for me. I recommend her to anyone considering writing a book.”

"I wouldn’t trust anyone else to get my message right.”

“When I was approached by a major publishing house to write a book, Leslie was the first person I thought of. I had worked with her in the past, and I knew I wouldn’t trust anyone else to get my message right and make the writing sound like me. She made the whole process so easy. We sat down together on a call, and she talked to me about what I wanted my book to be. Then she created an outline and I started to get really excited! She communicated clearly with me every step of the way. My publishing house was thrilled with the final product and so was I! The book gets excellent reviews on Amazon and I’m so proud of it.”

“My books sound like ME, except BETTER!"

“As a life coach, I talk to my clients over the phone and on Zoom. I’d always dreamed of writing a series of books, but it was intimidating because I didn’t have the writing skill. And I also didn’t have the time to actually write a series of books. Leslie was able to take what was in my head and put it onto the page. My books sound like ME, except BETTER because the grammar is spot on!! I use them to market my business and build my email list. I’m glad I found her because I wanted someone who was easy to work with longterm, and who could make my books sound like me. And, who was not too expensive hahah! With Leslie, I got high quality for low cost. Work with her if you get the chance!!”

"I still don't think it's fully sunken in... I wrote a book!"

“I wasn't sure what to expect when I decided to work with a ghostwriter, but I did know that I wanted to get my book written and I was tired of not following through. Looking back now, I still don't know if I would have gotten it done or put it off for a few more years (or forever)! Leslie's keen ear has uncovered my book through our various conversations, and she knows the right questions to ask to dig deeper. She is a talented writer who is able to convey my message in my actual voice, while being open to feedback and any edits I bring to her. She has been a source of encouragement to keep us moving forward and on track, while being a trustworthy confidant who listens without judgement. And on top of all that, my book ACTUALLY  got done... and is more amazing than I could have hoped for. I still don't think that it's actually fully sunken in... I wrote a book! And I owe so much of that to Leslie. In fact, I plan to continue using her services because she made me realize I have more books in me to write!! Satisfied is an understatement.”

"Working with Leslie was an absolute joy."

“Working with Leslie was an absolute joy. She was able to listen to me tell my story and write in a way that expressed what I had said as well as add to what I was intending to say. At no point did I feel I was being judged while telling her my personal stories. Leslie was always early to our zoom appointments and was timely in getting chapters sent to me. At no time in our working together did I feel she was trying to get through our meeting or hurry me along. She was patient with all of the changes I made as well as my constant shifts in my thinking. When the writing portion was completed she was more than willing to help with advice on my cover, back of my book as well as keywords to use. By the end of our time working together I felt as though I had gained a new friend. I highly recommend working with Leslie.”
