You can finally stop Googling “how to write a book.”

Let me teach you what you really need to know.

(Or just do it for you.)

I help people write books.


The kind that get agents. The kind that get publishing deals. The kind that actually get read and help build the career you want.

I’m a ghostwriter, collaborator, and story-whisperer with more than a decade of experience helping humans like you wrangle your brilliant (and possibly chaotic) ideas and stories into something publishers want to buy and sell and readers want to read.

I’ve done it dozens of times now. I’ve written book proposals that have sold for multiple six figures to some of the biggest publishers in the world and helped people fulfill their lifelong dreams of becoming published authors. Which is a long-winded way of saying: I know what I’m doing, and I’m good at it.

But more importantly—I make this whole writing-a-book thing feel possible and fun. I’ll guide you every step of the way and make sure your book and experience writing it is exactly what you’re hoping for. I will ask good questions, help you find the beating heart of your message, and make sure you sound like a human and not a robot with a thesaurus.

I’m also a mom of a little boy and girl, and a fan of sarcasm, good bourbon, The Beatles, and not taking myself too seriously. I believe your story matters—and that writing and publishing a book that changes the world doesn’t have to be so damn hard.

If you’re ready to tell your story but not totally sure how, I’ve got you. Let’s make something great—and have fun doing it.

Here’s an industry secret:

All the best have help.

Great books don’t happen in a vacuum. Collaboration is the secret sauce. Plus, I won’t let you write a bad book. Promise.

Here are some of the highlights (and lowlights) of my life so far…

My Adolescence

I grew up in Jacksonville, FL. I lived a lovely, privileged existence where I mostly obsessed over boys, school, and sports. This is also where my love of reading began (and perhaps also my competitive nature) with the Accelerated Reader program in elementary school. If you know, you know.

College

I attended the greatest school to ever exist: Clemson University. I will not hear otherwise. I loved college so much that I figured my life afterward would just be a downward decline that I’d just have to accept. Fortunately, I was wrong. College for me was some of the best years of my life. But it was also where I figured that becoming a writer might be a pipe dream and maybe I should do something “normal.” So I majored in Business Management.

Young adulthood, marriage, and wandering the earth

After graduation I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life so I took a random job in education and moved into a big house with five of my best friends in downtown Charleston, SC. It was just as fun as you’re probably imagining. Within a few years I met my Naval officer husband who swept me off my feet and we traveled around a bit, including living in Seattle for three years.

liz kinda sorta gets her act together

Since we moved around, I needed a location-independent job and decided to finally pursue this writing thing that I knew I wanted to do ever since I could breathe. (A little hyperbole is good for your writing.) I started working for a successful author and entrepreneur, learning all I could about writing, publishing, and running a business. We started an agency together. Eventually my husband left the Navy, we settled back in South Carolina, and we decided to get a dog, buy a house, and start a family.

first major heartbreak | 2018

Around the time my ghostwriting career was picking up, I miscarried two pregnancies close together. That came with a bunch of medical complications, and after a period of grieving, I decided to just focus on my career for a while. My husband and I travelled Europe for three months.

our son was born | 2019

This year I gave birth to the most perfect, beautiful, wonderful, kind boy there ever was.

our daughter was born and I became an official girlboss | 2021

Less than two years after we had Weston, I gave birth to our daughter, Fiona. At the same time, instead of taking maternity leave, I decided to leave the agency where I’d worked for almost five years and start my own writing business. In hindsight, I can’t believe I did this but it worked out and here we are.

my brother died and my career took off | 2022

Nine months after I gave birth to my daughter and struck out on my own as a ghostwriter, my brother died unexpectedly. I planned his funeral and met a huge publishing deadline thirteen days later. 0/10 do not recommend. I (somewhat unhealthily) decided that during this time of early grief I’d dig deeper into work and hope that success would make me feel better. Honestly, it kinda did.

hungry authors is formed and we signed our first book deal | 2023

Four months after my brother died, my business partner, Ariel, and I signed with our incredible agent, Don Pape. Four months after that, we signed our first book deal under my own name. We also launched our podcast and started running small group coaching programs about how to map out your book.

Signed my first multi-six-figure book deal | 2024

In 2024, my collaborative ghostwriting career reached heights I’d only dreamed of years earlier. That year I signed three contracts for over six-figures. All while Ariel and I launched our first Hungry Authors book. Things were going great, baybeee.

My dad died | 2024

In December of 2024, my dad took his own life. This time, instead of forging ahead and white knuckling my way through work and parenting and grief full steam ahead, I finally paused and let myself rest and heal.

Present Day-Ish

All of these experiences with work, success, and loss have deeply informed who I am and what I value. We only get one life. (Well, maybe. I mean, who really knows.) I want to do work that matters, with amazing people, and make a positive impact on the world. That looks like writing bestselling books with and for people I respect, and teaching others how to do the same.
