Amber Hatch – Ghostwriter

I have six books in 17 languages. I love ghostwriting with authentic voices and powerful tales, especially in middle grade and parenting

Overview

I have six books in my own name in wellbeing and parenting with major publishers and my work has been translated into 17 languages. I have a further two fiction titles for children with Yoto on audio and a further one coming this year. I have worked as a freelance editor and ghostwriter (fiction and non-fiction) for fifteen years including for Watkins Publishing, Profile Books, Penguin Random House and via my literary agent. I am also available on Reedsy as a "top 200" editor and I have 120+ 5-star reviews. I have an MA in Creative Writing from Bath Spa University (distinction).

As your ghostwriter or co-writer I will work with you to create the best version of your book. I love books with a compelling narrative, and I’ll work hard to ensure yours engages the reader on every page. I will listen to your story or message through a series of meetings and notes, and craft your material into a powerful structure with water-tight writing. You will remain a central part of the book-creation process, and together, we will ensure that your book conveys your message exactly how you want, and that your authentic voice shines through.
