I am a ghostwriter, editor, and writing coach. Whether you've been working on a fantasy story for children, a self-help book, a memoir, or website, I offer the coaching you need to see your project through. I'll make your writing shine and make the creative process fun and easy.

Ready to become an author?

Want to market your business with a sellable eBook?

Want a more successful and compelling website? 

If you are filled with good insights, let me help you turn them into writing that sells and uplifts your readers. A ghostwriter is a collaborator, a typically unseen co-author, hence the word "ghost."

    I contributed to the books The Real Meaning of Life (New World Library, 2005) and How to Survive a Move (Hundreds of Heads Publishing, 2005). I am an editor for a Buddhist organization, with chapters in Texas, Washington State, Taiwan, and China. We are nearing completion on several Buddhist texts. I am also ghostwriting a book for a leader in the Sikh community. My writing has been featured in Kindred Spirit Magazine, the largest healthy living magazine in the UK, and I am co-author of an online translation of the ancient book The I Ching. I am a former staff writer for The Global Institute of Energy Medicine (Enmed.org). I have written everything from horoscopes, to greeting cards, to newsletters for the New Mexico public school system, to poetry for a community magazine in Toronto called Catch Da’ Flava.

  "Michael is a wonderful editor, not only offering clear concise critiques but providing suggestions that are very insightful. His remarkable clarity is geared towards a socially conscious awareness in an increasingly more spiritual public. I am grateful to have had Michael work with me on this project and hope that we will work again in the near future."

  “Alperstein’s writing is good company, his book full of gems, and the wisdom like the simple string of genuine heirloom pearls all too often overlooked for flashier plastic baubles in the jewel box.”
