These days I do a lot of work for companies, nonprofits, and individuals that want to develop books, articles, case studies, white papers, courseware, and business/strategic plans with wide appeal. I've ghostwritten articles that have appeared in Harvard Business Review, McKinsey Quarterly, The Financial Times, Strategy+Business, Economist Intelligence Unit, Institutional Investor Guides, Forbes.com, and the San Francisco Chronicle. I've ghostwritten and edited books published by Random House, Harvard Business Press, and Jossey-Bass. A recent book I developmentally edited, Forces for Good: The Six Practices of High-Impact Nonprofits, was named one of the The Economist's Best Business Books of 2007.
