My writing & self-publishing solutions
I offer a range of writing & self-publishing services tailored to meet your needs, depending on what stage of the writing or self-publishing process you are at. If you have a great idea for a book, but don't have the time to write it yourself, I can ghostwrite it for you - without AI, with thorough cutting-edge research and meticulous referencing. If you've written your book but would like it edited before publishing, I can do that and will give you detailed, thorough, encouraging edits that improve your work. If you're writing your book but struggling with motivation, writer's block, character development, world-building, flow or structure, I offer writing coaching to help. If you would like help with the more technical side of self-publishing, navigating Amazon KDP, with regards to formatting books, or physically uploading them, then we can work through this together with a clear step-by-step approach.
Ghostwriting services
I ghostwrite fiction and non-fiction books. With novels, I write Contemporary Fiction, Cozy Mysteries, Thrillers, and Dystopian fiction. With non-fiction, I write Autobiographies (Memoirs), Self-help, Educational, and Business books - these can include workbooks and manuals.
Editing & proofreading services
I provide encouraging, supportive editing, where you stay in control of accepting or rejecting edits. I'll refine your text for clarity, grammar, flow, structure and impact, ensuring it's the highest quality it can be prior to publishing.
Writing coaching
My writing coaching helps people to see their books through to completion and improve the quality of their books. Some people may struggle with motivation. Others may struggle with perfection, constantly tweaking and coming up with new sentences, paragraphs, and rehashing the same ideas. Done is better than perfect!
Self-publishing coaching
Once you have a completed manuscript, if you are struggling to self-publish it, I can help you to format your book for Amazon KDP or IngramSpark. I can advise you regarding book covers. I can take you through each step of the upload process via Amazon KDP. I can offer some advice regarding book-marketing.

My story, your success
I have been writing and editing for customers worldwide for 12+ years now. I'm passionate about creating high-quality books. I love the diverse variety of books I get to work on from autobiographies (memoirs), Cozy mysteries, thrillers, dystopian novels, Self-help books, educational books, and business books. Each book that is ghostwritten, edited, proofread and formatted is done by me personally. I pride myself on attention to detail and the dedication to ensuring you are 100% happy with your finished book. I care deeply about your book being the very best it can be. I don't use AI to write books, and I am meticulous with my research and referencing. I am not a vanity or hybrid publisher, and I focus solely on self-publishing, not traditional publishing. You own ALL rights to your work.
Words that connect
I LOVE writing - whether that's:
- working on your autobiography and sharing your exciting and interesting life
- writing a cute Cozy Mystery series that is humorous, pleasant and entertaining
- meticulously researching and ghostwriting for you a book on psychology, self-help, or health
- writing a dystopian novel
- writing a book to educate, inspire or motivate others
- creating a workbook with practical exercises
- writing books for teens or young adults
I love the variety of books that I get to work on. It’s always interesting, there’s never a dull moment, and I definitely learn something new every day! I care about each book I work on, and want it to be the highest quality it can be.

"Some of my books are selling just from the reach of Ingram Spark, which is encouraging. You have been a lifesaver during this process, and I really appreciate it! It was great to meet you on Zoom and figure out the Ingram Spark process together. I will send you a new book soon!"
