Additionally, Brea is a sought after ghost writer and editor who has collaborated on half a dozen projects including an instant New York Times bestseller.

More than being able to adhere to tight deadlines and produce well-crafted narratives, Brea excels in synthesizing dense, sociopolitical topics.
