Everyone has a story. I bring it to life!

My certification from California State University Long Beach as a literary ghostwriter and collaborator gives me an incredible edge to provide publisher-ready manuscripts, editor and agent-approved book proposals and queries--plus A&R's (Analysis & Recommendation), copy editing, and developmental- editing services. Past clients include New York Times best-selling author, J.L. King, Celebrity Hairstylist Kiyah Wright, Lung cancer activist, Bonnie Addario, and more.

As a journalist, I have written for such international publications as Ebony, Forbes Africa and MovieMaker. Plus digital outlets that include EURweb.

In my role as an Emmy-Award-winning TV and film writer/producer, I've penned more than 100 broadcast and cable TV scripts for CBS, Fox, NBC, TVLand, TVOne, BET, A&E, Travel Channel, The Africa Channel, and Spike TV, as well as several feature-length documentaries.
