Ghostwriters

Heidi von Schreiner

A former editor at both Doubleday and Simon & Schuster, Heidi von Schreiner has over 20 years of publishing experience. She has also worked as a literary agent, book packager, journalist and novelist. Heidi specializes in helping clients to shape the contents of their books to maximize their marketplace potential. Many of her past authors have been national bestsellers.

Heidi notes “For me, the ultimate goal is to write a book that is a carbon copy of what the client would write themselves if they had the time. Part of this process is tweaking the content to support the client’s unique vision.”

When she is not working on manuscripts, Heidi likes to fantasize about real estate, interior design, and anything with fur. She lives with her husband, two daughters, and multiple pets in northern New Jersey.
