Bonnie Hearn Hill – Ghostwriter

A traditionally published novelist, I can help you tell your story, your way, in your voice. True crime, memoir, prescriptive nonfiction.

Overview

An editor of fiction and nonfiction (you can find my Reedsy editing profile at https://reedsy.com/bonnie-hh) with many years of experience in developmental and copyediting, I work as a ghostwriter for authors of true crime, memoir, and prescriptive nonfiction titles. I have published with four of the Big Five publishers and specialize in authors seeking traditional publication, although I work with some legitimate hybrids. I love what I do and I’m proud of the books. I’ve helped create. I especially love working with authors who want to make a difference.

(My authors are happy to serve as references for me, but because of NDAs I've signed, I can't list many of them here.)

It all starts with an interview to see if we are a good match. I do not charge for an initial consultation, and I am happy to answer your questions about writing and publishing.

Work experience

Self

Apr, 2024 — Present
A former newspaper editor, I have worked as a ghostwriter and editor of true crime, memoir, prescriptive nonfiction, and health/wellness books, as well as some business/entrepreneurial books. The mantra I share with my authors is this: We can fix anything but a blank page.
