GhostwritingThe biggest mistake ghostwriters make is starting too soon. Before I write a single word, I interview the author across multiple recorded sessions, more than twenty prepared questions plus all the follow-up, not to learn their field but to capture…
GhostwritingI turn down more projects than I take, because after fourteen years I have learned the wrong client costs more than no client. When Joe Rockey came to me about a business book, I already knew him through Eliances and…
AdviceThe U.S. government switched off Anthropic's most powerful AI models overnight, proving in a single stroke that nobody who uses AI actually owns it. If your business runs on a rented tool, whoever controls it can change the deal or…
Thought LeadershipMusk became the world's first trillionaire, but the number is the least interesting part; the money is just fuel for Mars, the Moon, and the asteroid belt. We are watching humanity begin to go multiplanetary, and the people building it…

GhostwritingThe 50/50 co-author split is the lazy default and rarely correct. Four variables decide the right one: who brings the audience, who brings the substance, who does the writing, who runs the launch. Here is the math behind 50/50, 60/40,…
GhostwritingMost ghostwriters vanish at delivery; the best stay through launch and beyond. Here is what yours should be able to help with once the manuscript is done, pitch packages, back-cover copy, podcast-tour materials, content repurposing, keynote scripts drawn from the…
GhostwritingACX, Findaway, and Spotify all rewrote their AI-narration rules in the past 18 months, and the rules are still moving. Here is what each platform actually permits in 2026, when AI narration is the right call for an authority book,…
