When Shannon was a petulant pre-teen in her hometown of Washington D.C., the only place she would agree to be seen in public with her mother was Politics & Prose bookstore.

She told her mom one day that she would work there and lo and behold a few years later Shannon’s dream came true—and thus her career working with, behind, and inside of books began.

She now collaborates with authors on book proposals and manuscripts as a fulltime ghostwriter and publishing consultant, after spending a decade working inside top literary agencies helping to develop projects for Pulitzer winners, New York Times bestsellers, media personalities, and many flavors of public figures.

Shannon earned her Masters in Writing from Johns Hopkins University and graduated cum laude from Dartmouth College.

When she isn’t reading, writing, or trail running, she is running after her three kids in suburban DC.
