Mark Gardett

Mark’s goal in life is to ask just the right questions to unlock new potential, new meaning, and new ideas—and to help authors structure that potential into engaging, successful books. Mark is driven by curiosity and has written with and for CEOs, entrepreneurs, emergency responders, doctors, marketers, biochemists, engineers, lawyers, and patients and their families, among many others. He holds a PhD in English with a focus in writing and rhetoric, and spent nearly a decade as a college writing professor before transitioning to nonprofits as a research director and clinical educator.

Mark’s greatest strength is the ability to keep many things in mind at once: to hold onto the big picture while diving into the details, to see how all the puzzle pieces fit together, and to nurture the emotional storytelling heart of a book without losing the technical accuracy.

The call of the mountains and the wide-open Western sky drew Mark to Denver, where he loves hiking and climbing and escaping into nature whenever he can. Mark loves working with Scribe’s authors because he shares their desire to offer something meaningful and new to the world. His primary genres are business and leadership, science and medicine, and personal growth.
