Kirsten

After serving nonprofits for over 20 years, Kirsten founded Ghost Writer in 2017 as a solution to help nonprofits meet their world-changing missions through smart investments in  marketing,  development, and organizational structure, which can be demonstrated through solid returns on investment. The business model won the inaugural Penn State Mont Alto Lion Tank competition and has since expanded to include three departments, 13 employees and contractors, and a presence that literally reaches from down the street to Mozambique. 

She lives with her husband, son, a large dog, many cats, and a tortoise. She is happiest writing, cuddled in a big leather chair in front of her fireplace with her dog at her feet, in the boxing studio, or watching football, favoring her beloved New England Patriots.

Amy

Jessie

With a BA in English and a minor in French, Jessie has loved words her entire life. As a child she wrote fiction and poetry but after college reverted more to the technical side of writing, becoming a production editor at a local publishing company and later managing editor.
