Kathrin Hutson – Ghostwriter

Master Fiction Ghostwriter of 170+ Books, Specializing in Fantasy and Sci-Fi. Are You Ready for Your Next Hit Series? Let's Make Some Magic.

Overview

When I found fiction ghostwriting in 2018, it felt like coming home. Since then, I've ghostwritten over 160 novels for my clients, some of whom have grossed millions in sales from our collaborations alone. I've crafted trilogies, 6-, 8-, and 12-book series, extended series to 21 books, and have taken over "the perfect idea" for clients who just weren't able to find the perfect writer. Below is just a fraction of what I've worked on:

-121 Books over 5 years, spanning across 15 complete and bestselling Urban Fantasy, Epic Fantasy, and Military Fantasy series, for one of the largest international independent publishers in the industry;

-Dark Paranormal Romance / Urban Fantasy Romance for 2 USA Today Bestselling Authors;

-Award-Winning 8-Book Military Fantasy series extended later to 12 books, with two additional spinoffs, grossing almost $2 million in its first year;

-Three Dystopian LitRPG series for a bestselling author in the genre;

-Helped a NYT Bestselling Author in Dark Mafia Academy Romance break into Dark Paranormal Romance as a completely new genre with a new pen name, which then also hit the NYT Bestseller List;

-Continuing series for a publisher and studio consistently optioning their works for TV and film;

I've also been a featured guest on The Self-Publishing Show by Mark Dawson, The Writers Ink Podcast, and the Knockin' Doorz Down Podcast by KDD Media (among others) to talk about my career as a fiction ghostwriter and my personal journey with speculative fiction.

I eat, sleep, and breathe Fantasy and Sci-Fi in all its various forms and sub-genres. This is what I do. Continuing series, new worlds, engaging characters, heartbreaking moments, action, intrigue, danger, darkness, magic, and kickass action that keep readers burning through pages again and again are my bread and butter. (I've also been cursed with the gift of unbelievably clean drafts that never need more than a professional proofread once they're returned to you).

Since I started ghostwriting fiction, I have had the absolute pleasure of working with so many creatively brilliant minds, diving into THEIR worlds, and bringing THEIR creations to life. And there is always room for more, just around the corner.
