Brian McDonald
Author and Ghostwriter
Critically acclaimed author of six nonfiction books, I write stories that connect with readers. I’ve ghostwritten twelve published memoirs, including five New York Times bestsellers. My clients include athletes, television personalities, business executives, national politicians, and people with remarkable stories to tell. I write every word myself, and my work is known for being genuine and moving.
