These days I do a lot of work for companies, nonprofits, and individuals who want to develop articles, case studies, and books 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, and San Francisco Chronicle. I've ghostwritten and edited books published by Random House, Harvard Business School Publishing, 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. To read more about my corporate and nonprofit work, see the ghostwriting & corporate writing and clients & testimonials sections of my site.
