"Clearly you played a central
role as guide on the book's transformational journey."

If you have a great idea you want to tell or a compelling
story to share, I can help to turn your dream into a reality.
I have twenty years of experience working on books that have
been published by Bloomsbury, Harvard Business School Press,
Houghton Mifflin, Hudson Street Books, Penguin, Plume, Random
House, Rodale, and W.W. Norton. I work regularly with leaders
in business, law, medicine, and the arts, often with my collaborator,
Lauren Slater. (www.laurenslater.org)
For a nonfiction book, I may suggest that I write a book proposal
that you may then submit to agents and editors. If you have
a floundering or sub-par manuscript, I can "doctor"
it to publishable standards. In any case, after hearing about
your project, we discuss what format and process will best
fit your individual needs and how I can best commit my expertise,
creativity, and time. If appropriate, I can also make sure
your manuscript gets read by top-notch agents and editors
in the publishing industry.

I've found Karens critiques
to be especially valuable. She encourages in a productive
(rather than chatty fluffy empty) way that sends me
back to the writing table
