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.

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!
