Jana Murphy – Ghostwriter

Expert ghostwriter and editor specializing in narrative and prescriptive nonfiction and memoir

Overview

New York Times, Publishers Weekly, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Amazon bestselling ghostwriter, author, and editor. I help clients figure out how to share their experiences, their big ideas, and their life’s work.


Published by Algonquin, Bloomsbury, Hachette, HarperOne, Hay House, Henry Holt, Penguin, Random House, Rodale, Simon and Schuster, and others. Professional reviewers have called my ghostwritten projects "downright engrossing," "thoroughly engaging," "highly recommended," "heartbreaking and hilarious," "breakthrough," and "delightful."


Subject areas include memoir, adventure and travel, health and wellness, leadership and business, personal growth, animal behavior and veterinary care, women's issues, education, parenting, and food/cooking.


I'm an expert at shepherding projects from idea to publication and am equally versed in taking problematic, stagnant manuscripts and shaping them into focused, vitalized, saleable books.

Jana's work on the project far exceeded my expectations. She truly "got" the information I was trying to convey, and the ghostwritten material she produced was excellent. She was knowledgeable, prompt, professional and provided many insights to improve both my manuscript and the proposal process. I highly recommend her services.
