Hi there!
I'm Marni.
I help people write books that set them apart—and make a real impact on their business.
I’ve worked with thought leaders, innovators, and business owners across industries, from finance to education reform. Through ghostwriting, book proposal development, book coaching, and developmental editing, I support authors at every stage of the process.
I do this work because I love to collaborate. I don’t just help you write—I help you think. I listen closely, ask incisive questions, and translate your raw ideas into a powerful, cohesive book that builds authority, deepens trust, and converts readers into fans.
High-touch, one-on-one book coaching for prescriptive nonfiction
Customized to your project, your process, and your goals.

Best for: authors exploring coaching, longer-term support, or next steps.

Best for: authors who want concrete guidance and a clear path forward.

Ghostwriting
Looking for a collaborative writing partner?
I work with prescriptive nonfiction authors to develop and ghostwrite book-length manuscripts, from concept through final revision. The process is high-touch and collaborative, including goal-setting, interviews for content, drafting, and revision.
Best for: experts with a clear point of view who want a trusted partner to help bring their book to life.
More About Me
Business and Corporate Development
My first career was in marketing communications, strategic planning, and investment banking. I call it “storytelling for businesses.” Today, my clients are thought leaders in a variety of areas, including finance, business, leadership, technology, education reform, social sciences, and personal development. My special sauce is helping authors translate complex concepts so “normies” can learn and grow.
I love collaborating with authors to sharpen their book concept, find a hook for commercial viability, and bring their ideas to life on the page.
I am an Author Accelerator-certified coach in nonfiction and fiction and have had the pleasure of working with Wiley, Girl Friday, Page Two, and She Writes Press, and their authors.
In two truths and a lie, people are always surprised to learn that I am an American Contract Bridge League Junior Life Master.
I live in Seattle with my husband as a newly minted empty-nester. We are the proud parents of two college athletes and a 15-year-old D&D DM (IYKYK).
Go Mariners!
