Nick Pavlidis, Esq., is a lawyer turned high-end thought leadership advisor, intellectual capital consultant, and book writing and publishing mentor, as well as the CEO of Authority Ghostwriting, a premier ghostwriting agency that helps thought leaders write and publish books that build relationships with prospects, influencers, and strategic networking partners even before the book is published.

Over the past few years, Nick’s books have appeared on the Wall Street Journal bestseller list five times, the USA Today bestseller list seven times, and achieved numerous additional accolades including being the #1 non-fiction book on all of Amazon and Barnes & Noble multiple time.

In fact, in Nick’s experience, writing and publishing even just one book (when done right) can out-perform some of the most sophisticated marketing strategies as he details in this exclusive interview with Private Wealth Magazine.
