I’ve enjoyed a long career covering sports, ghostwriting the memoirs of athletes, copywriting sports-related material, and offering journalism and sports editing services to magazines and local newspapers.
Sports Editing and Writing Services
Many of my sports journalism assignments have been from magazines with circulations in and around the Houston area, while book writing projects have been nationwide.
I ghostwrite autobiographies, biographies, memoirs, and legacy books for athletes, sports executives, and even notable sportscasters! I also edit their books. Consult with me if you have questions about your own sports-related literary work.
