Rhett has written for me for several years as a feature writer, columnist, and devotional writer. He's been willing and able to ghostwrite — even at the eleventh hour. Rhett's work is always accurate, prompt, and written to style. He also serves as a next-to-last set of eyes prior to jobs going to the printer.

Don't Let it Happen to You!
Ben, CEO of a Fortune 500 Company, had a stellar motivating message but did not have time to put his content into a book form. The result: he never impacted the thousands that would have read his words.
​
Susan created a dynamic product but lacks the know-how to market it to her target audience in print and digital forms.
​
Thomas lived an extraordinary life. His family would have cherished his experience preserved in a personal memoir. Many of his stories, wit, and wisdom left with him.
​
Tina runs a non-profit with a tremendous service, but because her team lacks the know-how of marketing, their appeal letters, digital communication, and targeted mailings lack clarity, consistency, competitiveness, and are not customer-focused nor conversion-optimized. This result in less donors and minimal impact.
