Your ideas deserve writing built to last.

I help you craft it.

EDITOR + GHOSTWRITER | INTERNATIONAL JOURNALIST | NARRATIVE + PERSUASION STRATEGIST

I help thought leaders, founders, academics, and mission-driven organizations turn their expertise into ideas that move people and stories that change minds.

As a strategist and international journalist, I offer more than your typical ghostwriter or editor. I help my clients refine ideas, sharpen messages until they’re media-ready, and craft narratives that persuade audiences to take action.

For over 15 years, I’ve worked with the world’s top newsrooms and institutions, producing award-winning debates featuring global thinkers and heads of state, writing op-eds, and developing campaign strategies. I've learned that the most compelling arguments fail when they don't take the audience into account from the outset, and that winning the debate is a short-term game; changing minds is a long-term one. The art of persuasion lies not just in logic, but in empathy and strategic listening.

My clients come to me with complex ideas, high stakes, and ambitious goals: books that reframe fields or history, Substack strategies that build movements, op-eds that prompt politicians to take action, and thought leadership that establishes their authority.

Whether you're looking to write an op-ed, translating years of research into a book proposal, preparing for high-stakes media appearances, or developing a body of work that establishes your voice in a national conversation, I'll help you make sure your ideas aren’t just read, but talked about.

Persuasion starts with a real conversation. Let's start there.

“Liz is one of the smartest people I’ve worked with. Her prep was critical to my toughest interviews, including my viral clash with Blackwater’s Erik Prince at the Oxford Union. She builds the argument, sees the counters coming, and lands the line. Sharp, passionate, relentless.”

—Mehdi Hasan, Founder of Zeteo & Author, Win Every Argument

“Liz provided exceptional editorial support for my academic book. She went through the manuscript line by line with meticulous attention to punctuation, style, and clarity — but her contributions went far beyond copyediting. She has a rare ability to identify gaps in logic, flag potential factual errors, and strengthen arguments without ever compromising voice. Her insight improved the rigor and readability of my work, and I’m deeply grateful for her editorial care.”

— Professor at the University of Virginia & Author, Oxford & Cambridge University Press titles
