I have a gift for creating best selling books. I've co-authored and collaborated on 6 New York Times best sellers, including The Skinny and 8 Minutes in the Morning. My works have collectively sold more than 2 million copies.
I'm known throughout the industry for nailing deadlines, spinning complicated science into language any sixth grader can understand, crafting a strong voice, and writing commercial products that sell. -
