Elaine Ash – Ghostwriter

Ghostwriter & book doctor for clients with bestselling, award-winning works. Thriller/comedy/memoir & much more. Published author, myself.

Overview

I'm a 20-year publishing industry insider with an impressive list of happy clients. Why do I care? Because unhappy writers don't produce great work. The creative process should be fun and exciting. I also know a ton about the book business! From memoirs to thought-leader books, Young Adult to romance, my skills are market-tested. Thrillers, hard-boiled mystery, comedy, and satire are specialties. If you are dreaming of a Big 5 contract or "going indie" I've edited someone on that path already.

Author of my own nonfiction, thought-leader book in my field, praised by experts: Bestseller Metrics, How to Win the Novel Writing Game.

Work experience

Self-employed

Jan, 2011 — Present
I shepherd books from the seed of an idea through ghostwriting or doctoring, and beyond. I ensure the writer's "voice" and ideas are theirs alone. Some writers like to start with an editorial review, or a developmental edit of an unfinished manuscript. Each one is different, but the books I've assisted have gone on to earn awards, land publishing deals, and gain rave reviews from satisfied readers.
