Why Jodee Blanco Stands Out Among Other Co-Authors
When Jodee Blanco throws herself into a book, she knows what bookstore buyers like, what motivates readers to gravitate to certain books over others, and what will capture the media’s interest, and she weaves that cross-section of knowledge into every aspect of the writing/editorial phase. When working with someone on a memoir or autobiography, she approaches the collaborative process from the perspective of narrative and character, as well as works with the subject on what he/she specifically wants the book to achieve above and beyond sales. Some may need a vehicle to reposition their career or redeem their reputation in the wake of scandal; others may wish to commemorate their legacy; still others may wish to celebrate or explore an aspect of their lives, readers would find fascinating. Then there’s the celebrity who wants a platform to launch the next phase of their lives or career. Whatever the inspiration, Jodee Blanco will help that person create a powerful, engaging book that answers the question for the subject “why has my life mattered.”
