Ken Scott – Ghostwriter

I am a Sunday Times Top Ten best-selling author and a seasoned ghostwriter with a professional career spanning 17 years. My expertise covers a vast spectrum of genres, including historical memoirs, biographies, and books that tackle deeply sensitive and complex subjects such as domestic and child abuse, human trafficking, war, and conflict. I have a passion for bringing powerful, compelling, and impactful stories to life, with a hands-on approach to collaboration. I tailor my process to suit each client’s unique needs, whether that means conducting interviews via Zoom, travelling to meet them in person, or working through emails and handwritten notes. I have even gone as far as Costa Rica to spend time with a client, ensuring their vision was fully realised in print, with a successful publication several months later.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of collaborating with some of the world's best-selling authors, contributing to their literary success. My work has garnered critical acclaim, including a Booker Prize Entry and a book shortlisted for the prestigious Hemingway Book Award. I have successfully completed more than a dozen projects on the Reedsy platform.

Beyond my role as a ghostwriter, I serve as a director at Fortis Publishing, a company dedicated to producing high-quality books across all genres. I work closely with authors not only in writing their manuscripts but also in strategising their book proposals, marketing plans, and positioning for success in the literary world.

In recent years, I have specialised in writing books that are primed for adaptation into TV and film productions. With a track record of literary experience and a keen understanding of what makes a story translate to the screen, I continue to bridge the gap between literature and the entertainment industry, helping authors turn their stories into page-turning books and potential on-screen creations.
