Brad Schreiber

Brad Schreiber – Ghostwriter

Award-winning author, editor, lit consultant, former VP of Storytech Literary Consulting for Chris Vogler (The Writer's Journey).

Overview

I have ghosted and edited in nonfiction and fiction, for clients all around the world, not only in my work for Storytech but on my own. I have been published in fiction, nonfiction, journalism and have been produced in TV and film, which is of added value for ghostwriting clients who want their books adapted.

I have captured the voices of ghosting clients from all walks of life, including celebrities, a grandmotherly psychologist, a woman expert on romantic relationships and a former intelligence agent who specializes in safely extracting kidnap victims around the world. If you listen carefully to people, you can learn what's important to them and write closely to the way they speak. It's an honor and a pleasure to do that.

Through Reedsy, I have developed a book proposal for internationally recognized visual artist Felix Semper, who has astounded both the art world and music world with his stretchable paper sculptures.

Outside of Reedsy, I have recently contracted to co-write the next book from Ron Stallworth, author of BLACK KLANSMAN, which was a New York Times bestseller and made into a movie by Spike Lee, winning the Academy Award for Adapted Screenplay. It will be published by the imprint Flatiron at MacMillan Publishing in New York. I'm also contractually attached to adapt this book as a film for Universal Pictures.
