Ghost Writing… Creative Writing Mentoring… Copy-edit and proofread… Book Formatting… Cover design… Assisted self-publishing… ISBN Numbers…

With over 10 years of experience in writing, editing, and publishing, I love helping others bring their ideas to life as books. Yes—books! People often say, “Everyone has a book in them,” but I believe you probably have more than one waiting to be written. I’ve published nearly 20 myself, learning valuable lessons along the way, and I’d be delighted to guide you through the process so your words can inspire, encourage, and reach the readers they’re meant for.

Ghostwriting: Your Story - Your Life
Each one of us has a great story within us - the story of our lives. When we depart this earth, our stories are all lost and forgotten unless we record them in some form. Your story may not be for public consumption but it is a very special gift to leave for your family. When my mum died, we found the start of her story. The few simple pages inspired me to write, now I write for others.
Imagine the joy of your family when you give them a professionally written and bound, hardback book.
How much do you expect to pay?
Our competitor, Life Book Memoirs will charge you £9,000 + VAT for a 45,000-word book with 60 pictures and you receive 10x copies.
I charge £100/1,000 words + £100/60 pictures + £150/print setup + £15/hardback copy (234mm x 156mm)
Therefore, my cost is £4,900 (no VAT) for the equivalent purchase.

Creative Writing Mentoring:
I am passionate about passing on my knowledge to help fledgling authors. If you have a story that you would like to tell, I will help you to share it in the best possible way for you. I published my first book in 2015 and made many mistakes, costing me money. Since then, I have published 15 more books and could help you to do something similar.
