Joel Canfield – Ghostwriter

Best-selling ghostwriter, produced screenwriter and award-winning novelist.

Overview

Hi there. Over the years, I've been a VP at an entertainment company, a documentary producer and the president of a New Zealand baseball club. Primarily, however, I've been a writer. I've been ghostwriting for over 15 years, I've written four well-received novels and, with my wife Lisa, I've written six screenplays for TV-movies that have been produced, with several others in development.

So what can I do for you? What I've done for my many other clients. I've helped a lot of CEOs write their books, so I understand business writing. But I've also ghosted for criminals, pro athletes, and even a blind veteran who kayaked his way on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon (he had his old elementary school teacher read it for him). In addition, I've helped a few clients complete screenplays of their own, one of which may end up as a Netflix project. Bottom line? I know how to tell a story in an entertaining way, while, at the same time, conveying the information you want to bring to the reader's attention. Please feel free to reach out for a free consultation.
