Barry Napier – Ghostwriter

I'm a published author and ghostwriter. I've ghostwritten a wide variety of fiction over the last ten years, from romantic comedies to horror and everything in between. I specialize in Middle Grade fiction and most types of suspense. I have worked with all types of clients, from stay-at-home parents to New York Times bestselling authors. I've ghost-written more than 40 novels in that time, as well as 12 of my own novels.

My own personal work has appeared in a Norton anthology and, in 2012, awarded me a contract with 47 North/Amazon when I won a contest comprised of more than 2,000 entrants. Many of the novels I have ghostwritten remain consistently in Amazon's Top 25 within their genres. As recently as May 2018, one of the Middle Grade projects I served as ghostwriter for has been nominated for an AL Camellia Award. I have also ghostwritten short stories and even a mobile game script, which TIME magazine reviewed favorably.

Always open to new avenues and ideas, I'm eager to try something new or to expand on existing ideas. Currently, as of September 2025, I am REALLY interested in working on middle grade projects, particularly spooky/horror or adventure.
