“Writing a book about mentoring is one thing. Having someone mentor you through the process of writing it is another.” Stelios Cristakos.
What clients say about working with me, in their own words. Authors, executives, coaches, and business owners who trusted me with their books and their stories.
Every reference here comes from someone I actually worked with. Some are written, some are on video, and none of them were scripted by me. They are here because prospective clients ask a reasonable question before hiring a ghostwriter: what is it like to work with this person, and does he deliver?
You will find a range of projects represented, from memoirs and business books to LinkedIn profiles and thought leadership. Read a few and you will get a fair sense of how I work, where I push back, and what it takes to get a book finished.
