I’m Mary Lynn Cloghesy, a professional author from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, known as the Wild Rose Writer. The Leadership Literary Lab is a program that I created to help high achievers write powerful non-fiction books. I also offer one-on-one mentoring to a handful of clients each year, including ghost-writing, editing, and publishing services.

What makes a book powerful?

A powerful book changes the way we think. By demonstrating thought leadership through sharing a personal narrative, reshaping an historical perspective, or reconsidering a business process, these authors can catalyze change on a global scale. We stop and pay attention because they make us and the world better.
