Books I’ve Worked On
(No, I’m not afraid to end a sentence with a preposition.)
I’ve helped my authors come up with their idea for a book, craft the outline, fully write the manuscript, edit those manuscripts, serve as a coach through the process, or even support the book’s launch and marketing. In my career, I’ve worked on over a dozen books across all publishing types, on a variety of topics related to business and leadership.
Here are a select few.
The Public Sector CEO: Managerial toolbox to get things gone, fast and effectively
Archway Publishing, 2024. Amazon bestseller.
Borko Handjiski had a long career advising public leaders, and when he became a public leader himself, he realized that there were no good leadership books explicitly for high-performance in government. We worked together to distill down the main lessons learned from his career, while also translating private-sector leadership advice for the public sector leader. We used stories from Borko’s career and the leaders he’s worked with to create an engaging and actionable guide for any public sector CEO.
The Social Impact Advantage: Win Customers and Talent By Harnessing Your Business For Good
Published by McGraw Hill, 2023. Finalist for the 2024 Andy Award.
I worked with my long-time collaborator Tynesia Boyea-Robinson to craft the idea for this book, create the book proposal, secure the book deal and, finally, write the entire manuscript. After the launch of this book, Tynesia was able to meet her yearly revenue targets in just one quarter. I continue to work with her today, which has been one of the most fulfilling and generative partnerships of my career.
Together at the Top
Self-published, 2023. Finalist for the Indie Book Awards in Business, 2024
I started working with Josh Kornberg on a series of blog posts, and it quickly became clear that he had a book to write. I worked with him to determine the concept for the book, create the outline and manuscript. I helped him determine the best publishing path for his goals, landing on self-publishing, and after the launch of his book he was able to increase his speaking engagements and build out his consulting practice.
Systemic Racism 101
Adams Media, Simon & Schuster Imprint, 2022
I worked closely with the publisher of this graphic-heavy book to develop the outline, design the artwork, and edit the text. I also supported the launch and marketing after its release.
21st Century Investing: Redirecting Financial Strategies to Drive Systems Change
Berrett Koehler, 2022
Co-authored by another long-term collaborator, William Burckart, I helped create the book proposal for this book, supported the development of the outline, edited several chapters and assisted in the launch and marketing.
