I’m a ghostwriter, editor, and book coach. My clients coach startup founders and small business owners. They consult with Fortune 500 companies on leadership and team culture. They lead movements. They’re often writers themselves who have big ideas and powerful messages—they’re just missing the time and bandwidth to sit down and turn those ideas into a book.
As a freelance writer for over a decade, my background is content marketing for B2B SaaS companies, speaking to decision makers in industries ranging from sales and marketing to retail, accounting, and higher education. I’m happiest working with clients who have servant hearts and passion for their work, whatever their industry.
Along with ghostwriting business books for my clients, I’ve written over 20 books of my own. Including a handful of thrillers, two series of space scoundrel sci-fi crime novels, and a series of productivity guides including From Chaos to Creativity and From Big Idea to Book (both from Microcosm Publishing).
What it’s Like to Work With Me
“You’re so much more than a ghostwriter—you’re very un-ghosty. I was looking for more of a thought partner—someone to help me capture and really crank out that first draft. I got your name from someone I trust a whole lot, and after our initial chat, I was like, I would be crazy to not hire Jessie. And so I did.”
—Erin Weed, author of Just One Word
(Jessie’s role: ghostwriter and project manager)
“I can be hella quick on this one: working with Jessie is amazing. She’s a mix of project manager, interview-based ghostwriter, editor, and book champion that honestly makes it hard to consider doing a book solo again.”
—Charlie Gilkey, author of Team Habits
(Jessie’s role: collaborator in writing, editing, and project management)
“I had an idea of what I wanted, but no idea where to begin, and Jessie guided me literally chapter by chapter, refining my thoughts into well-written and a clearly expressed narrative. Great inquiry and organization skills, delivered on-time and on-budget. I’m thinking now about my next project, and look forward to another rewarding and positive publishing project.”
—Bob Simril, author of Fix Your Broken Sales
(Jessie’s role: ghostwriter and editor)
My Book Collaboration Philosophy
You have my full attention: I don’t overbook myself, which means when we’re working together, I won’t be juggling a dozen other clients. That does mean that if you’re interested, you should get on my schedule sooner rather than later.
Passionate clients: I only work with clients who love what they do—it’s more fun for both of us that way!
Servant heart: My best clients have generous hearts, and approach their audience in a spirit of service.
Doing things right takes time: Some things work well under intense time pressure, but writing a book isn’t one of them. Estimate 3-6 months to complete a book from the beginning of our engagement.
