BOOK COLLABORATIONS
Up by Hilary Tindle | Editor
I had the pleasure and honor of collaborating with Hilary Tindle, MD on her first book, Up, about the link between aging, health and outlook. I helped her craft a proposal, and after the proposal sold, I assisted her in mapping out, writing and editing the chapters. The book was published in 2013 to very positive reviews from Publisher's Weekly, The New York Times and Kirkus Review, among others.

2020
Hardcover book | Ghostwriter
In 2017 and 2018 I collaborated with a high-level U.S. diplomat on a book about the importance of protocol and diplomacy in government, business and everyday life. The book is equal parts memoir, instructional tome and insider-y political thriller. It was published in 2020 in hardcover by HarperCollins and in paperback in 2021. It was called "fascinating," "informative" and "charming" by Kirkus Reviews and featured as a New York Times "New and Noteworthy" selection.

Hardcover book | Ghostwriter
In 2021 I collaborated with a prominent Black female activist on a book about the intersection of race, feminism and womanhood. The author, who has been featured in the Washington Post, The New Yorker and New York Magazine, is also a businesswoman and public academic and runs a nonprofit foundation. The book is scheduled to be published by Dial Press in early 2023.
BOOKAZINES
Your Emotions | Writer
I researched and wrote this National Geographic single-topic magazine on the science of human emotions — the good, the dark, the wondrous and the mysterious. On newsstands from January 2020 to April 2020, the 110-page book-azine gives readers an easy-to-digest overview of emotion theory and cutting-edge neuroscience, revealing the surprising ways emotion and reason work together.
Memory | Writer
I conceived, researched and wrote this National Geographic single-topic magazine on the science of memory — how it works, changes to expect from cradle to grave and what we can do to safeguard and enhance it. I interviewed dozens of top neuroscientists and translated complex material into relatable and useable advice. The 110-page book-azine was sold on newsstands from fall 2020 through spring 2021 in outlets such as Whole Foods, Walmart and drugstore chains.
SELF Slim Down Fast Guide | Editor
For this 2014 diet and exercise guide, I worked with SELF's art director and editor in chief to compile a collection of SELF's greatest hits over the years — top articles on healthy diet plans, delicious and nutrition recipes and strengthening fitness routines, all science-backed, sane and effective. Sold on newsstands nationwide, the 130-page special issue was a top seller in the wellness space.
