Maria F. Chapman is the founder of Connected Ghostwriting, LLC, and Journey 2 Success.
Maria Chapman is a writer, strategist, and disabled entrepreneur who believes in the power of pivoting as a business model. After a sudden neuromuscular illness ended her fifteen-year career in education, Maria taught herself how to write for a living from her bed. She went on to build Connected Ghostwriting, an agency that helps thought leaders and entrepreneurs turn their ideas into books, courses, and content that converts.
Maria is also the founder of Journey 2 Success, a nonprofit that equips disabled individuals, especially those displaced midcareer, with the tools to build businesses that support both income and health. Through mentorship, training, and the Journey 2 Success Academy, she helps others build businesses that are sustainable, flexible, and designed for real life.
When she’s not writing or working with clients, you can find her chasing joy, reading on the beach, hanging with her kids, walking her rescue dog, or dancing with her husband. She lives in Connecticut with her family, her boundaries, and her belief that work should fit your needs, not the other way around.
