Ceri Marsh – Ghostwriter

I help clients share the magic of their expertise. My specialties are the juicy parts of life: food, style, and relationships.

Overview

I'm a ghostwriter specializing in entertaining non-fiction. In other words, I like things that are smart and fun. I was a magazine and newspaper editor for many years, covering fashion, beauty, design, food, health and relationships.

I love helping writers figure out the puzzle of their work and only take on projects where I feel I can be truly valuable. I can give feedback on your work or take the lead in writing what is in your head. I'm sensitive, discreet and supportive in the way I collaborate with authors. My clients' experience of process of creating a book is as important as the final products.
