Pseudonyms and Ghost Authorship

​

I am not just Xristopher Bland.

​

I’m also James Hartsell, and Toni Tate, and Rob Walker, and Mary Clarkson, and Michael the Director of Customer Experience.

​

I am countless other pseudonyms and real names that clients have applied to my work in sales letters, HR communications, press releases, video scripts, and so much more.

And I am no name—an invisible, nameless presence attached to countless words floating around out there attached to no one on websites, product sheets, press kits, TV screens, you name it.

​

I’ve written far more that exists online (and perhaps still in print) than people will ever truly know.
