We're Joel and Lisa Canfield.
For more than 20 years, we’ve helped people share their stories with the world. These days, that includes C-suiters, a Vistage chair, tech founders, finance execs, real estate developers, and some of the best-known names in personal growth.
As ghostwriters and editors, we've written best-selling books for business leaders and legends, pro athletes, doctors, and even a couple of gangsters (!). We also regularly ghostwrite for Forbes Books authors. Recent projects have taken us from AI and robotics to GLP-1 medications, school safety, and a leadership book built around a pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago. Lisa also served as developmental editor for The Enneagram of Connection by Beatrice Chestnut, PhD, coming from St. Martin's Press (Macmillan) in May 2027. The publisher accepted it exactly as delivered. (Editors, we know how rare that is.)
As scriptwriters, we've created award-winning scripts for the small and big screens. We've had six TV movies produced, made our own documentary, and helped others structure and script theirs. We're now developing a financial thriller for film.
As marketing pros, we've produced promos and presentations for TV shows and major Hollywood studios, including Paramount, Warner Bros., Fox and Disney.
Our specialty is taking brilliant, complicated ideas from experts and turning them into books regular people can't put down. We dig deep to find what makes your story exciting, different and compelling, and then we bring it to life. And we can do this in whatever way works for you, from doing all the writing ourselves to coaching you through creating your own masterpiece. However we work together, we tailor the process to you, so it’s as easy and painless as we can make it.
We'd love to hear your story. Then we'll make sure the world does too.
Let Us Tell Your Story.
