Words, edits, and guidance
for atypical authors.
Typical, linear methods can be a drag. I tailor my process to each writer’s unique style, passions, and access needs.
Ghostwriting
Your mission is monumental. Through a series of guided conversations, we’ll translate it onto the page. I handle the planning and writing. During the revision process we’ll refine the book to articulate your clearest vision in your own unique voice.
Multi-platform storytelling
Every social post, video, and longform blog is another point in the complex constellation of your story. Each platform has its own confines and strengths. I can create a content strategy that ensures every piece is as authentic and impactful as you are.
Editing + book coaching
If you love putting words on the page but need some help to keep the project on track, I’ll help you with structure, character development, or simply planning your project in a sustainable way.
Deep listening, emergent storytelling.
The Constellation Method
My story-building method is non-linear and interactive.
In practice, it’s simple: I listen deeply and steer our conversation toward the subjects that seem to ignite your passions. Then I connect the dots on paper, just like a constellation map. This map lays the foundation for our chapter-by-chapter discussions.
With a touch of humor, and a deep sense of empathy, I shape our discussions into stories that enlighten, inspire, and connect.
I do this work because I love following unique minds into unknown territory.
As a journalist, I reported on animal psychics and alternative churches. As a ghostwriter, I’ve collaborated with tech CEOs, prison abolitionists, and a retired Hollywood stuntman on a revenge mission.
As a writing educator, I’ve been lucky to study with radical and autistic mentors. My training in trauma-informed education and atypical literacies is a big influence on my collaborative process.
And selfishly, as a reader, I want more interesting books in the world. So I’m here to help those books get written.

I’m a companion

“I never imagined that UFOs and country music had much in common, but when I saw what Josh wrote for me, it all made perfect sense.”
Max K., Film producer
“Josh shaped my book into a series of letters between me and my friend. It was beautiful.”
