Erica Florentine – Ghostwriter

I'm Erica... a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly, and #1 Amazon bestselling author and ghostwriter with 15+ years experience. I specialize in the memoir, self-help, and business/finance genres.

[My rates start at $40,000 for a book ghostwriting project, $5,000 for book proposal development, and $10,000 for book coaching.]

I've helped clients meet goals including:

- A memoir client had a goal of selling 100,000 books. It went on to sell 250,000+ copies and received 5,000+ 4.5 stars and above reviews.

- A memoir client had a goal to become an international bestseller. The book made multiple & prestigious international bestseller lists, including New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, Sunday Times, and The Guardian.

- A self help client wanted to use their book to further position them as an industry expert. Their book's success helped grow their social media following by 180,000+ and secured them as a keynote speaker at dozens of events.

- A business book client had a goal of getting the word out about their new business. The book ultimately helped grow the business social accounts by 100,000+ and helped increase sales and brand awareness.

- A memoir client always dreamt of seeing their story on the screen. Their book got the attention of big studios including Lionsgate and Happy Madison. The book's rights were purchased for a TV show on a well-known network.

- A memoir client hoped to get their life stories written down in order to leave a legacy for their family. Excitingly, it's already being shared with his grandchildren, who we're sure will continue to pass it down for generations.

One of my favorite projects is comedian Joey Diaz’s memoir "Tremendous, The Life of a Comedy Savage" (published by Ben Bella Books). It was an instant NYTimes bestseller and its release garnered thousands of positive reviews in its first week alone.

I'm also excited about a book I coauthored -- "From Bullshit to Botox: A Rebel's Guide to Self Love and Eternal Youth" -- that was just released in November 2024. I wrote this book for influencer Sandra Lena Silverman and it's a guide for women on how to look and feel young. It was an instant #1 National Bestseller.

You'll find some books I've written/ghostwritten in my portfolio. A few are under non-disclosure agreements, so I'm not able to call them out by name. However I've linked a file in my portfolio that gives a summary of those books and the success they've had.

Prior to becoming an author, I wrote in the short-form for more than a decade. I've written/ghostwritten thousands of bylines, OpEds, and blogs, with work appearing in Huffington Post, Bustle, Thought Catalog, and WedMD. In the short-form I've ghostwritten for former CEOs and other C-suite executives at Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, and Mondelēz, as well as for well-known U.S. politicians, thought leaders, and activists.

Let me help you with your ghostwriting project! This is what I love to do!
