Confessions of an Introvert

The Shy Girl’s Guide to Career, Networking, and Getting the Most Out of Life

Written for introverts who’ve been told career success means becoming someone louder, this book makes the opposite case: quiet, thoughtful people can build powerful careers, networks, and public profiles without faking extroversion. Drawing on personal experience and practical strategy, it covers building real confidence, developing genuine expertise, navigating networking events without dread, and finding your own version of public speaking.

“Funny and insightful… a true resource for any introvert.”

Dr. Ivan Misner, Founder, Business Network International

A ForeWord Magazine review highlighted how the book helps people who don’t take naturally to networking and self-promotion grow into confident communicators and leaders in their own right.

Editorial & Ghostwriting

Beyond my own book, I’ve spent years as an editor and ghostwriter, helping other authors shape, sharpen, and finish theirs — across business, leadership, memoir, and poetry:

  • Profit by Design: THE Blueprint to Successfully Scale Your Business and Regain Your Freedom — John Waters & Meghan Wier
  • BlindSpots: Why Good People Make Bad Choices — Kevin McCarthy
  • Developing a Self-Aware Culture: A Framework for Self-Awareness — Kevin McCarthy
  • Zero Dollar Consultancy — Phil Gerbyshak
  • Two Seconds of Eternity: An Experience in Another Dimension — Alyssa Skyes
  • Poetry Dust: In the Middle of My Before and After — Alyssa Skyes
  • What If You Live? The Truth about Retiring in the Early Twenty-First Century — Paul M. Gargano

Currently open to new editorial and ghostwriting projects — if you’re working on a book and want a collaborator who’s been through the process herself, let’s talk.

What I’m Reading

A running list of what’s on my desk right now:

  • Revenue Physics by Mark W. Vigoroso — a pre-release handbook reframing B2B growth as a governed operating system, with a sharp lens on AI as either a growth force-multiplier or a volatility amplifier.
  • The SaaS Playbook: Build a Multimillion Dollar Startup Without Venture Capital by Rob Walling — a practical, no-nonsense guide to bootstrapping a SaaS business without outside funding.

Let’s Talk

Whether it’s a demand-gen engine, a book project, or just a good conversation about AI in marketing — I’d love to connect.
