Hi there, my name is Carl!
I’m driven by creativity. Committed to storytelling. My goal is simply to be a part of great stories and amazing art. I believe that anyone can write a great story. All it takes is a little guidance and a lot of diligence. The best stories are those that speak from the creator’s heart, while also considering marketability.
I’ve been a ghostwriter on various freelance projects, both nonfiction and fiction. I’ve also written and published several fantasy/sci-fi books for children and teens. Now, I specialize in helping others tell their stories. Whether it’s coaching you need, editing, or ghostwriting, I can help.
Writing Coaching
Not sure where to start? I can guide you. I strive to make sure that all my feedback is constructive and tailored to your needs.
I work with students of all ages. In our first session, we’ll develop a plan for working together. Later, we may:
- Write together on a call, training you in how to think
- Go over your writing so I can make edits and give advice
- Talk structure and create an outline
- Improve your skills in specific areas (i.e. show don’t tell, being more detailed, using active language vs passive, etc.).
This is a great option for those who are unsure what kind of help they need. I can coach you through writing both fiction and nonfiction books.

Developmental Editing
Have you already written something, but want it to be better? I can improve the structure of your story, help you develop the characters more, or just provide notes on improving the overall writing.
Developmental editing focuses on the big picture. This type of editing is concerned with whether the audience will relate to the main character, whether the story keeps the reader engaged, and things like theme, pacing, character development, etc. This is a great option for those who have already written something but don’t know how to make it better.
Ghostwriting Services
Having trouble putting words on the page? Want someone who’s talented and experienced to do it?
I’ve written dozens of books, so I can help you in a more hands-on manner, if you want! Previous projects include nonfiction books in the areas of self-help, technology, business, health & wellness, and children’s nonfiction, as well as books in the fantasy genre and many short stories.
You can see some samples below.
