Ghostwriting and Contributing Authorship

Technically, most of my work is ghostwriting, in the sense that my name isn't on it and the client is implicitly or explicitly the author. Indeed, many of my clients seeking Web content writing or blogging/ghostblogging describe what they're looking for as ghostwriting. You can see samples of that kind of work on those pages, and I'm always happy to discuss taking on more.

However, I'm proud to say that I've been involved in ghostwriting in the more conventional sense -- ghostwriting a book called Personal Injury Law: A Reference for Accident Victims. The book is a collaborative effort by leading personal injury law firms from around the U.S., coordinated by Speaker Media and Marketing. Aimed at personal injury victims who are considering a lawsuit, it's intended to help them understand the process and their own roles as plaintiffs. A separate, state-specific edition will be produced for each firm. In my role as a ghostwriter and editor, I wrote new content for some parts, polished other parts and helped get the project ready for printing.

One of the firms involved, North Carolina's Lewis & Daggett, was kind enough to give me permission to post a downloadable e-book copy of their edition here. This 90-page PDF of North Carolina Injury Law: A Reference for Accident Victims has all of the same information as the printed version.

I actively enjoyed being part of a book-length project and would love to take on more. If you think I can help make your book the best that it can be, please contact me online or send an email to .
