Chris M – Ghostwriter

Sunday Times bestselling writer, specialising in ghostwriting memoir/nonfiction for clients needing extra support in telling their stories.

Overview

Writing under a variety of pseudonyms, I'm the author of 40 novels, including a number of Sunday Times (UK) and international top ten bestsellers. My fiction spans history, romance and comedy.

As a ghostwriter, I've written nonfiction/memoir for a variety of clients from soap stars to military veterans, on subjects including adoption, addiction, disability activism, sheep farming and spycraft. I have recently worked on a number of projects related to WW2.

I have helped ghostwriting clients gain book deals with major publishers. Two of those projects became top ten bestsellers.

I'm experienced in working with people who require extra support and care in telling their stories, either because the subject matter is particularly difficult or because they are unable to or don't wish to use technology during the writing process. I like to take the time to build a good working relationship with my clients with in-person meetings where possible but I have worked on some projects where all interviews had to be conducted on Zoom.

Before I became a writer, I studied Experimental Psychology at Oxford University and worked as an editorial assistant at an audiobook publisher. I hold the CIEP's Copyediting 1 certificate and I am proud to boast that I have NEVER missed a deadline!

I look forward to helping you bring your story to life on the page.

Work experience

Self-employed

Oct, 1995 — Present
I published my first novel with Little Brown in 1995. Since then I've published at least one novel a year under various pen names (with Little Brown, Hodder & Stoughton, and Orion), and ghostwritten a number of traditionally published memoirs (Pan Macmillan, HarperCollins and Mirror Books) and privately published works. I've also had pieces appear in most of the UK's national newspapers.
