Who I Am & What I Do

About Me

Meet Chris

I’m an award-winning journalist and editor who has interviewed a multitude of interesting people throughout my writing career—from entrepreneurs and television celebrities to New York Times bestselling authors and neurosurgeons. 
 
A lover of memoir and biography, I co-authored Mended Faith: a Life of Abuse, Pain and Redemption (Morgan James) in 2018 with author Cornelia Jude. Publisher’s Weekly called the book “a heartrending debut” and “an affecting memoir [that] will move any reader.”
 
Before working in books and magazines, I spent time as a marketing copywriter, a web and graphic designer, and as a sports editor. 
 
When not writing, you can find me playing retro video games on my Raspberry Pi, learning new things (or old things anew), or enjoying an afternoon at one of my favorite haunts.

I AM ACCEPTING NEW AUTHORS

No matter where you are in the book writing and publishing pipeline, I can help. Whether writing, publishing, or marketing your book, I’m ready to help you get your book into the market so you can begin changing lives through your story.

NONFICTION BOOK GENRES I AM SEEKING

I am currently looking for nonfiction authors and manuscripts in these categories: business, memoir, self-help, personal development, health and wellness, and Christian inspiration.

*Note: I do not work with poetry, nor do I work with fiction or children’s book authors. I am happy to refer you to other book coaches, should you like a referral.

BOOK PUBLISHING OPTIONS

Whether you want to self-publish or submit your book manuscript to a book publisher, I can help. As part of the Morgan James Publishing team, my job as an acquisitions editor is to find the best ideas and book manuscripts for publishing. In the self-publishing arena, I have a team of designers, editors, and proofreaders who will guarantee your book looks as polished and professional as a traditionally published book.
