Glenn M. – Ghostwriter

With my long history as a successfully published and bestselling novelist and ghostwriter, I can help you turn your story into a page turner or polish your work-in-progress. I write novels in all genres, mysteries/ suspense/thrillers/cozies), sci-fi, horror, general fiction, adventure, YA, romance, and sci-fi/fantasy. I've also written a number of nonfiction works, including autobiographies, memoirs, and true crime. And if you have a script, I can turn this into a novel for you or vice versa.

My clients include folks from all walks of life, including established authors and high-profile clients. I work regularly with editors/agents to write/rewrite their clients' books. I am comfortable writing stories with strong female and/or male characters. A great character is an interesting character. And what makes them interesting is their story.

I've written dozens of novels in multiple genres under numerous pen names (crime, thrillers, mysteries, sci-fi, fantasy, cozies, contemporary & literary fiction, romance and more). I've published with Kensington, Canongate/Severn House, Penguin Random House/Harlequin/Worldwide Mystery Library, Thorndike, Wheeler, Vintage, and more.

If there are words to be written, polished and perfected, please contact me to discuss your project. I'm up for any challenge, respond quickly to queries, and can work under tight deadlines. One publishing house recently contracted me to write a book every 2 months. I also work with non-English native authors looking to polish their books for the English-speaking market. And as an experienced editor, I will ensure that your completed project is fully proofed and edited and ready for publication or submission to agents and editors.

Note About Rates:

While we all have budgets we must respect, we all also want to be fairy compensated for our experience and our time. I am a pro with dozens of published and well-reviewed novels to my credit. While your project may differ, the average book fiction/nonfiction will take 1000-2000 hours or more to write. My rates reflect this. I charge per project but if you pick a number in your head that you believe would translate to a fair hourly rate for which you might hire a professional author for your book project and multiply that by even 1000 hours, that may give you some idea of what you can expect my fee to be.

Thanks,

Glenn

A few trade reviews:

LIBRARY JOURNAL: “Wacky characters, liquid prose, frequent humor…Readers who enjoyed Sharon McCrumb’s Bimbos of the Death Sun will also get a kick out of this.”

PUBLISHERS’ WEEKLY: “Readers will enjoy Ripley’s sharp dialogue, which keeps the novel speeding along at a pleasant clip.”

LIBRARY JOURNAL: “Action-packed plot. Recommended.”

BOOKLIST: “Mystery fans will enjoy the clever plot, loopy characters, and sardonic humor… Fans of Greg Kihn’s recent musical mysteries will find a kindred soul in Ripley.”

And if you are looking for lyrics, I am a professional musician and singer-songwriter also with multiple credits, with history of appearances on MTV and songs in rotation on 100s of stations.
