Ariel Curry – Ghostwriter

I spent 10 years working in traditional publishing, most of that time as an acquisitions editor. When I left my corporate job, I wanted to use my expertise in acquisitions to help more authors with great ideas get traditional publishing deals.Some of my more notable clients include supermodel Genevieve Morton; Sugata Mitra, winner of the TED $1 Million Prize for Research; renowned education researcher John Hattie; Home Improvement writer and producer Matt Williams; and NYT bestselling author Warren Berger. My clients are often well-respected leaders in their fields, including:- nutritionists- doctors- educators- business leaders and consultants- financial advisors- designers- journalistsI unique strength of mine is helping authors distill complex ideas from their field into potent agents of change for a general audience. I enjoy brainstorming and outlining new book ideas, bringing clarity and purpose to prose, and helping authors find resilience in their writing journey. Having slogged through plenty of slush piles myself, I know what publishers are looking for and can help authors craft a convincing narrative to sell their idea. I particularly love working with authors who challenge the status quo and can shine light in the dark spaces of our world with powerful stories. When I'm not working, you can find me doing yoga, practicing Chopin on the piano, or reading with a cup of coffee. Originally from California, I now live in Chattanooga, TN, with my husband and a growing menagerie of pets.Rates for book proposals start at $10,000.
