WRITING SAMPLES

We work in all three major writing formats: fiction and non-fiction books and feature film screenplays. When we write as credited literary collaborators, we can name the books and screenplays we worked on. However, when we work as ghostwriters, we have signed confidentiality agreements with our clients and we are not allowed to identify those books or their authors. When you click on the links below, you can read about many of the writing projects we are allowed to discuss without violating client confidentiality agreements.

We are currently reformatting this page. Some of the hyperlinks to the books below may not work, or may lead to pages with a different appearance. We apologize for the inconvenience, and can send you paper copies of any samples which may be temporarily unavailable.
