You’re the Expert. Let’s Get Your Book Written

I ghostwrite nonfiction books for doctors, therapists, and health practitioners who know they have a book in them and don’t have the hours to write it. You bring the expertise and the stories. I do the writing. Your name goes on the cover.

I'm Deborah Holmen. I make people comfortable enough to tell the truth, on the page and off it. For clients, that means turning hard-won medical and personal experience into a book that holds together and reaches the right readers. Years of bylined essays and a teacher's ear for voice mean I know how to put a real human voice on a page. Take a look around.
