Laura Schaefer - Ghostwriter

I've published three novels with Paula Wiseman Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. The first, The Teashop Girls, was published in December of 2008; my most recent title, Littler Women: A Modern Retelling will be released in paperback in April, 2019.

As a freelance writer and editor for, I pitched and completed dozens of articles for Happen Magazine and wrote profiles as part of the ProfilePro service. I also ghostwrote several pieces for a celebrity partner that appeared on.

I am an active executive ghostwriter, creating book-length non-fiction works for executives and celebrities. I enjoy working with busy individuals to design a table of contents together. From there, I interview my subjects at length either in person or over video chat (in a process many consider to be fun...and even cathartic) and create a manuscript.

The end result is the book you've always imagined, shaped over the course of mere months, and written in your own unique voice. If you've been looking for a fast and effective ghostwriter, get in touch and let's talk about your goals.

As a freelance writer, I've pitched, researched and written many pieces for companies and online publications including,, VentureBeat, SkilledUp, Pipedrive and.
