Work With Alan

Great stories don’t write themselves.

Every accomplished person has expertise. The challenge is saying it clearly enough that people care.

Who I work with

Authors, executives, entrepreneurs, public figures, and people with something worth saying.

I work with CEOs, founders, entrepreneurs, executives, athletes, entertainers, chefs, public figures, subject matter experts, first-time authors, and experienced authors looking for a strong collaborator.

If you have an idea, a story, a body of expertise, or a point of view you know could become something bigger, that is usually where the work begins.

Why clients hire Alan

Voice, structure, speed, judgment.

Voice capture. The goal is not to make you sound like me. It is to make you sound like the clearest, strongest version of yourself.

Publishing experience. I have worked with major publishers, independent publishers, media companies, and editorial teams for nearly three decades.

Clarity. Complicated ideas do not have to sound complicated. The work is finding the line readers can follow without losing the complexity that makes the subject interesting.

Momentum. Writing projects die when they lose motion. I keep the work moving.

Pricing & process

Pricing available upon request.

Every project is unique and scoped individually based on goals, timeline, complexity, and deliverables.

How does ghostwriting work?

Most projects begin with conversations, interviews, research, and a clear structure. From there, we build the manuscript or proposal in stages.

Do you help with book proposals?

Yes. Many nonfiction books are sold before they are written. A strong proposal can open the right doors.

Do you work with first-time authors?

Absolutely. Many strong projects begin with someone who knows the subject deeply but needs help shaping the book.

Can you sign an NDA?

Yes. Without hesitation.
