Garry Jenkins – Ghostwriter

Hugely experienced and versatile ghostwriter of multiple New York Times and Sunday Times best-sellers, including A Street Cat Named Bob.

Overview

I've authored, ghost-written and co-written fifty non-fiction books across multiple genres within the 'traditional' publishing industry, many of which have been best-sellers internationally. My ghosted and co-written works range from A Street Cat Named Bob, the story of how a stray cat transformed the life of a reformed drug addict on the streets of London, to One Dog At A Time, the memoir of a Royal Marine serving in Afghanistan whose rescue of a dog inspired the creation of a remarkable sanctuary for abused and abandoned animals. (Yes, I am so versatile I can write about cats AND dogs!) But I've also ghost-written the memoirs of (human) entertainment figures and artists, shepherds and psychics. Altogether these books have sold more than ten million copies. I've also written a movie (with a couple more in the works) and created an animated tv series.

I'm passionate about telling stories and can help you bring yours to the world as a ghost, co-writer, editor, mentor, cheer-leader, structural guide or proposal writer. I've written for most of the major publishing houses in the UK and several in the US too and had works translated in more than forty countries. So I think I've got a fair idea what makes a book work. Give me a shout and we can talk about what you hope to achieve. And how I can work with you to make it happen.
