I'm an award-winning ghostwriter specializing in memoir, narrative nonfiction, and complex book-length projects that require deep research, sophisticated craft, and absolute discretion. My work includes ghostwriting "Stolen Identity" (Amazon Bestseller in multiple categories), collaborating with the family of civil rights advisor and close friend to both Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, and partnering with clients from executives to families preserving significant legacies. With a decade of professional experience, an MA in Children's Literature from Hollins University, and a BA in History from NYU, I bring rigorous research, masterful voice capture, and proven results to every project. I'm also the author of award-winning literary fiction (AWAKENING - Finalist, Publisher's Weekly Booklife Contest). Whether you need an executive memoir, investigative narrative, or thoughtfully crafted life story, I deliver publishable, market-ready manuscripts that honor your voice and vision. 🔷 My services include: 📘 Ghostwriting & Collaboration – End-to-end memoir development, from interviews to finished book. 🕯️ Story Structuring & Developmental Editing – Transforming raw transcripts into a compelling narrative arc. 🔍 Research & Voicework – Integrating background detail and authentic tone to preserve truth. ✨ Publishing Guidance – Polished manuscripts, ready for agents or self-publication. 🔹 Why Work With Me My goal is simple: to make the process of writing your book as meaningful as the book itself. Clients describe our collaboration as “transformative,” “insightful,” and “deeply personal.” Many of my clients return for second and third collaborations, or refer their friends and colleagues. 🔹 Client Testimonials "Jackie did a great job of communicating and was always professional and punctual. The story she had to write was about a person from another culture, gender, and generation, yet she seemed to capture the voice of the person telling the story. I was impressed with her talent as a writer and her actions as a professional. She told the story the way it was meant to be told." — Greg Hoyle "Jackie was easy to work with, accurate, and pleasant. I was pleasantly surprised by how she shaped my story into a compelling and engaging narrative. My manuscript only needed a couple of rounds of minor edits, and Jackie was very accommodating about working with me to make the changes I requested." — Hardy Brooklyn, Model and Performance Artist "This experience with Jackie was quite insightful. She forced me to look at myself and the decisions I had made for my life in a new way—really helpful in understanding the 'why' behind who I am today." — Nancy J. Leon, International Volunteer and Activist "I was amazed by Jackie's patience over the course of our interviews. She was able to take my words and condense them into a concise narrative that captured my thoughts. I appreciate all her hard work and would certainly recommend her to others." — Eric Smith
