Hi there, thank you for visiting my profile. I hope you find all the information you need below to make an educated decision:
Please read this carefully.
Expert-level ghostwriter with 8+ years of full-time ghostwriting experience.
I have more than 200 books published on Amazon.
I work for a minimum of $3.75-$4.00/100 words per project. I am negotiable depending on the niche and project—agreed rates to be paid at regular milestones.
If you are looking for a cheap writer who can get your book out, but you will need to pull it after a month or so, this is not me.
I have been writing professionally for 30+ years. This includes developing ALL business documentation, marketing, and training material. I've been around the block a few times with various niche specialties. I am a well-seasoned writer who does not work with AI (unless requested)!
Some books are on Amazon and the Goodreads platform. Lengths vary up to 110K. I am completely flexible in meeting your specific needs.
US and UK English with APA 7 in-text citations and referencing. 99% of books written are in US English.
Non-fiction genres in multiple niches include, but are not limited to, the following subject matter:
Self-help
Personal development (business, personal, adults, and teens)
Goal setting
Emotional intelligence
Motivational books
Training for teens - motivational, soft skills, EQ, and more
Habits
Productivity
Success
Mindset
Family
Marriage
Divorce (men and women)
Surviving toxic relationships
Getting out of debt
Basic financial advice (NB: I do not write advanced financial books)
Minimalism
Entrepreneurship/Starting your own business
Biographies
Famous inventors and world pioneers (people who changed the world)
Women Who Changed the World (2-book series)
Happiness
WWII - specific focus (3-book series - 2 uploaded on Amazon, waiting for book 3)
Mindfulness
Meditation
Stress
Affirmations
Anxiety
Religious books
Psychology and CBT.
Depression
Grief
Leadership
Employment
Recruitment (360 degrees)
And much more...
Book length between 30K and 110K words
I choose to write non-fiction because it can combine fact-based and scientifically proven information.
I am often referred to as a research junkie. I would rather have too much research to verify information than refer to or rely on one source.
Communication is vital from the get-go. I work hands-on with each client. This needs to be two-way to meet deadlines and move your project forward. Your book needs to be a collaborative effort, so the final product is something you are proud of, and it ticks all the boxes.
I work quickly without sacrificing quality and can deliver a 30K book in approximately 4 to 6 weeks. This is with constant open communication, so work is unhindered by delays that stall the work. I need you to be very much a part of the writing process.
Delivery is subject to the number of changes required. Allowing you access to the document from the beginning tries to minimize this.
I work strictly according to the outline provided unless permission is granted to deviate according to new information. This will be requested and done solely at your discretion. It is up to you to be sure the outline is what you want.
Looking for clients with long-term work, as this is where relationships and bonds are forged.
I limit the number of clients I work with to two at a time. A third may be added only where one project is close to completion, or another project is long-term. This is so you have my undivided attention.
Most previous projects were written while working with a professional ghostwriting agency.
Basic edits and proofreading of the book will be made.
This is where it ends.
I am not an editor. I would, in any event, be biased toward my work.
I am not a typesetter. Your book will need typesetting.
The format I use is accepted by Amazon and is one that any editor can work with.
Including images will come from free stock sites. An additional fee per image will be charged, as it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to find the ideal photograph in line with the manuscript.
Writing samples provided are of my OWN work and writing style. I will not lose my integrity with previous clients, even for other work, irrespective of whether an NDA is in place or not. Once the final payment is received, full ownership is transferred, and the work is secure. It will not be shared with anyone. The document is then deleted from my system as I need the space.
I work in MS Office and Google Docs. The main manuscript will be in Google Docs. Full access to the Google Doc will be provided once the Introduction or the first 5K words are loaded.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this profile. If you have questions, please reach out, and I will be happy to chat on a video call to answer any questions.
I look forward to talking about your project and building a solid working relationship with you.
Kind regards
Angela

Hi there. Let me help you create a publication that is attractive and professional, suitable for your purpose, and does justice to your skills and ideas.
After a number of years in the teaching profession, I began a career in publishing, specialising in the design and layout of all sorts of publications. These included books (educational and general), reports (e.g. for government departments), school magazines, newsletters and promotional material for various institutions, fill-in forms, and incidental documents such as menus, calendars and diaries. These often involved the creation of maps, charts and diagrams.
Over the last few years I have concentrated more and more on helping my clients with independent publishing and ebooks for Amazon (CreateSpace and Kindle).
As a former English teacher I can also offer an editing and proof-reading service, if required, to ensure an error-free and professional final product.
I am proficient in InDesign CS6, Photoshop CS6, Illustrator CS6 and MS Word, and have an adequate acquaintance with various other design and drawing programmes.
Contact me for a happy publishing experience.
