Michelle Anderson – Ghostwriter

Ghostwriter and editor with over 70 books under my own name or for clients including several on the New York Times Best Seller List

Overview

Writing a book can be an overwhelming, time-consuming, and confusing endeavor if you undertake it alone. When the writing and editing are finished, the challenge becomes how to pitch, market, and publish your creation. A ghostwriter can do the heavy lifting for you.

As a Certified Ghostwriter, I will help you find the right words for your book while keeping your vision, voice, and story or expertise. You get the final say on all aspects of the process, your name on the book, and the assurance of knowing it will be taken seriously in the marketplace.

I can help you:

Tell a story

Leave a legacy for loved ones

Describe a moment in your life

Inspire, educate, or help your readers

Establish you are an expert

Build your brand

Attract clients to your business

Promote your process, product, or webinars

Attract publicity, interviews, or speaking engagements

Create Back of the Room (BOR) revenue

Due to the nature of this business, I can’t reveal the names of clients or titles. I’ve ghosted books by well-known reality show celebrities, doctors, influencers, CEOs, engineers, world travelers, nurses, nutritionists, abuse survivors, eating disorder survivors, health experts, and many more.
