Joe Cawley – Ghostwriter

Ghostwriter (Big 5 published), award-winning author, screenwriter and travel writer (Times, Telegraph). I specialise in memoirs with humour.

Overview

Although I'm unable to divulge too much information (pesky NDAs), I've penned and published five of my own books (memoirs, thriller and travel comedy), and worked on ghostwriting projects for many clients, including the founder of one of the world's largest sportswear brands, a high ranking officer in the Met, and a billionaire businessman.
I've been published in all of the national UK newspapers, including The Telegraph, Sunday Times and Guardian, as well as international publications like the New York Post and the Taipei Times.
I like to dig deep with my clients, helping them to articulate their drive, demons, desires... and humour. I'm always happy to take a book project from idea to bookshelf, either through personal industry contacts, or via self-publishing.
I also specialise in book to script, and script to book projects.
Humour and business memoirs are my specialities, so if you want a story injected with humour, or are looking for a biography or your business success (or failure), contact me for a friendly, no-obligation chat to see if we're a good fit for each other.
