Overview

Available starting May 2026

---

Hey! I’m Lyric, a ghostwriter specializing in Indigenous spirituality, Black liberation literature, self-help, and women's health.

I'm deeply fascinated by other humans—where they've been, who they've encountered, and how they've become—which is probably why people often spill their secrets to me within a few minutes of meeting. No topic is off limits. No taboo too uncomfortable to witness. And your intellectual property is protected every step of the way.

Authors say working with me is like a breath of fresh air, but don't just take their word for it. Let's chat about how we can turn your idea into a marketable book you can be proud of.
