I’m a bestselling UK ghostwriter. I work with celebrities, leading business figures and ordinary people with extraordinary stories to tell.
A Sunday Times bestselling ghostwriter
Following a career as a national journalist, I became a ghostwriter in 2009. To date I’ve ghosted over 25 books including four Sunday Times bestsellers and multiple Amazon bestsellers. The genres include: celebrity, memoir, self-help, business, sport and social history.
Recent projects include a memoir based on a film script which became one of the top three UK films on Netflix, a self-help book for Penguin (which sold worldwide rights), a book for a world-leading entrepreneur and a major sports personality. A recently ghosted business book has been included on the university curriculum for Harvard University.
Several of my books have been serialised in national newspapers and magazines. One made front page headlines.
Many of my books have received critical acclaim and have four or five stars on Amazon. In 2023/ 2024 two business memoirs were nominated in The Business Book Awards. I especially love telling the extraordinary stories of ordinary people.
Alongside Teena Lyons, I am the founding member of The Ghostwriters Agency matching clients with bestselling ghostwriters from all over the UK.
I am also represented by Eve White Literary agency based in London.
