High-End Biographies by Jack Sheehan

   Best-selling Las Vegas author and public speaker Jack Sheehan, who has written 18 non-fiction books, is available to write full-length, high-end biographies.

   These books, which usually run over 300 pages and require as many as 40 to 50 interviews with principal players in the subject's life, are written with a balanced viewpoint and an elegant style which has won Sheehan many regional and national awards, including the Lowell Thomas Award for Outstanding Travel Writing in the U.S., the Nevada Screenwriters Award for Outstanding Screenplay, and a journalists' society award as Best Feature Writer in the Western U.S.

   Time frame from start to finish of these biographies usually ranges from 14 to 24 months, and Sheehan personally conducts all interviews, writes every word, and negotiates publishing bids and marketing agreements. Price range varies from the low to mid six figures, determinant on the time and effort involved.

   In the last five years he has specialized in publishing full-length biographies of successful and colorful people. Subject to availability, he is interested in writing more biographies of high-profile individuals whose success stories deserve to be shared with wide regional audiences and friends and future generations of their families.

Class of '47 Annapolis America's Best
by Jack Sheehan

The United States Naval Academy Class of 1947 combined perhaps the most distinguished and accomplished group in American military school history. With former U.S. President, a Nobel Prize Winner, two Medal of Honor winners, several Rhodes Scholars, a former Director of the CIA, a former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the billionaire Chairman of the legendary Masters tournament all in the same class, there must have been something in the drinking water.
