Complex ideas into clear prose, stories included.

What We Do

It’s one thing to develop an idea—it’s another to present it to the wider world.

The most innovative thinkers don’t always have the time or patience to wrestle the right words onto the page. Lincoln Park Writers confidentially helps individuals, businesses, and nonprofits mold concepts and arguments into clear and compelling prose.

Our clients come to us with big ideas. We make those ideas accessible to a general audience.

Our Expertise

We focus on helping corporate executives, political figures, and non-profit leaders shape compelling prose. To date, we have partnered on nearly a dozen books and more than 200 published opeds. Our firm meticulously protects confidentiality, but to review some of our founder's work, please visit The New York Times, Harvard Business ReviewThe Atlantic, Politico, and The Wall Street Journal."

Op-Eds

Authors often struggle to fit their ideas into the limited space available in an op-ed. Lincoln Park casts big ideas into compelling arguments that will appeal to editors at publications ranging from The New York Times to The Harvard Business Review, and from The Atlantic to Fast Company.

Books

The best non-fiction weaves striking stories into chapters that make persuasive points. Lincoln Park helps authors identify and research those stories, organizing complex arguments into digestible sections.

Reports

Corporate and non-profit reports often comprise reams of seemingly disparate information. Lincoln Park coalesces the individual elements into a cohesive whole.

Speeches

Ideas delivered in person demand a different cadence than those read from a page or screen. Lincoln Park helps organize stories and concepts so that audiences come away with a memorable message and a good impression.

Our Founder

Marc J. Dunkleman

Before becoming a ghostwriter, Marc J. Dunkelman cut his teeth in politics. Over the last decade he has since partnered with Fortune 100 executives, American presidents, leading philanthropists, academics, cabinet secretaries, think tankers, financiers, tech mavens, non-profits, marketing gurus, and more.

His clients frequently appear in The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, and Politico. His first book The Vanishing Neighbor: The Transformation of American Community was published by W.W. Norton in 2014. His second book will be published by Hachette/PublicAffairs in 2025.
