MeiMei Fox: NYT Bestselling Ghostwriter and Book Coach for Thought Leaders

Who is MeiMei Fox?

Fox holds a BA and MS in psychology from Stanford and worked as a management consultant at McKinsey before spending nearly 30 years writing and coaching. That combination of psychology and business is the thread through her catalog.

Her collaborations include The Five Invitations with hospice pioneer Frank Ostaseski and Bend, Not Break with entrepreneur Ping Fu, both Oprah’s Book List picks, and the New York Times bestseller Fortytude with Sarah Brokaw. Her website says she has helped more than a dozen books reach market with major New York publishers.

Beyond VIP ghostwriting, she offers private book coaching, a small-cohort online course, and hybrid publishing through The Story Cure Press. That makes her one of the few names on this list with a path for authors who want to write their own book with expert help.

Things to consider
