Overview
Hi, I'm Cara. I'm a ghostwriter with over ten years' experience in the publishing industry.
With a professional background as an editor, and several of my own books under my belt, I have a unique understanding of what it's like on both sides of the publishing fence.
Helping authors take their books from idea all the way to publication is a thrill I'll never get tired of and ghostwriting in particular is a dream-come-true kind of job for me. I have a knack for visualising stories and narratives, and for capturing the voice of the author.
I love working on both fiction and non-fiction, and I'm always happy to discuss your project and provide samples of my ghostwriting (I'm not able to include all projects in my portfolio below for legal reasons).
