Jonathan Arlan is an author and multiple-New York Times bestselling ghostwriter whose clients have included world leaders, Fortune 500 executives, and some of the biggest names in politics, entertainment, health, and public life.
He’s collaborated on memoirs, narrative nonfiction, and practical books across a wide range of subjects, with the simple goal of helping clients transform complex experiences and ideas into compelling and commercially successful books.
In addition to his ghostwriting work, Jonathan is the co-host of The Passage, a podcast about the craft of writing featuring conversations with acclaimed novelists and nonfiction authors.
He is also the author of Mountain Lines: A Journey through the French Alps, a travel memoir about his 500-mile walk through the mountains of southern France, which The New York Times called "a disarmingly engaging memoir by a millennial Kansan" (very high praise, from where he's sitting).
Jonathan has lived all over the world—from Japan to Egypt to Estonia—but now calls Chicago home, where he lives with his wife Katya and son August.
