I found you through a search on Linkedin and was very interested in your ghost writing skills. Several years ago I began writing a diary advised by my psychiatrist to help me therapeutically resolve deep issues from my past.
A few years ago my best friend who writes training courses for Kaplan asked if he could read my diary because I had told him so much about it. After reading it he said Pat you have to write this as a manuscript because it is fascinating and can help others whom have suffered as you did. I played around with it and began turning into a manuscript and actually had a book proposal produced.
Then just about two years ago one of my offenders and bully brother threatened two kill me for the twentieth time but this time in sunk in and he scared me so much that I went to the police and filled a restraining order. That evening returning from the police station I sent down with my best friend and he could tell that I was frightened for my life. This event brought back horrifying memories of my childhood abuse. That evening changed my life for the better because I finally accepted all the pain and decided to come forward and tell the world about my life.
Well I am now a public advocate supporting child abuse prevention and anti-bullying. In late 2011 I worked in conjunction with Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for the US Department of Health and Human Services as one of seven trauma victim survivors to help educate the public.
After I went public with my story I created a website http://www.youandmecanstopbullies.com at which point the media reached out to me to help bring attention to my cause and how I survived. Please visit my news and events page http://youandmecanstopbullies.com/?page_id=13 on this page you can review the media coverage I have received since telling my story.
It gets better a few months ago movie producers in Hollywood reached out to me and now are working on turning my story into a movie again to educate the public and bring awareness. Both the movie producer and I think the book needs to come out before the movie.
At this point I am seeking to find a ghost writer that believes in my story and will help me turn into a fantastic book that will help others that have suffered as I did for so long. The majority of the manuscript has been written but needs to be reworked. I have most of the ground work to hand over to the ghost writer that is interested in working with me.
At the end of the day my topic is very prominent right now and my goal is to help bring awareness and educate children, parents and teachers of the signs of kids that hid from abuse, bullying and sexual orientation. Statistics indicate that 80 to 85% of boys and men hid and never come forward about their abuse and bullying out of shame and fear well I was one of those statistics.
Currently I have over 3,500 friends on Facebook, over 650 followers on Twitter and connected with over 2,500 connections on Linkedin. The majority of these individuals are connected with me due to the message I share with the public. If you Google my name I will show up for over 20 pages. As you can tell I am very passionate regarding my story because I have already saved a few lives by telling it and my goal is to continue to do so.
Would you please review my website (which also needs help) and tell me if you find my story to be one that is of interest to you. If not no hard feelings maybe you could direct me to someone that would be a better fit. My you can reach me via email or cell 847-757-3432.
Sincerely,
