About
Background
I spent more than a decade acquiring and editing bestselling books at top NYC publishing imprints (Making Ideas Happen, The Personal MBA, Idea Man) before becoming a book collaborator and proposal developer (Atomic Habits, Feel-Good Productivity, How to Be Good at Life). In addition to my writing work, I represent a select list of clients as a literary agent and advise founders, executives, and experts on thought leadership strategy.
