Ghostwriting

If you need a novel for your publishing business, I offer ghostwriting services. I write in all the genres you see on this website, and can extend myself into others. I have ten years of experience ghostwriting for various clients and am well-known for submitting clean copy in a timely manner. My base rate is ten cents per word, with a discount for first-time clients. Drop me a line and we'll chat!

 

Please note that I am currently not taking clients but hope to be open for requests soon. Feel free to contact me for more information.
