Malcolm Bradley

Malcolm Bradley – Ghostwriter

I specialise in writing emotionally engaging and often humorous fiction that reviews well on Amazon and has been traditionally published.

Overview

If I could condense my style of storytelling into a simple phrase, I think it would be the timeless “Make them laugh and make them cry.” Fiction is about the breadth of human emotional experience, and I find my educational background in filmmaking a boon to the way I approach writing books. We can all think of a film that stayed with us, or a TV series where we became deeply involved in the character's journey. Novels take that connection to another level.

I have almost 13 years’ experience as a self-employed writer, and have written across a wide range of genres, but in recent years have specialised in paranormal cozy mysteries and space operas about misfit groups changing the fates of intergalactic empires. Weirdly enough, my sense of humour fits both very well, as does my dramatic timing!

I consistently produce well-reviewed books on Amazon, and have a long-term client currently represented by a New York literary agent, for whom I have written three traditionally published books. She describes me as “the most trusted collaborator of my working life,” and says of working with me: “What sets Malcolm apart is his ear for voice. He builds characters with patience and handles emotional interiority with rare subtlety.”

Work experience

Self-employed

Sep, 2022 — Sep, 2023 (about 1 year)
Ghostwritten book for a client that was published by a major publishing company. When an orphan who dreams of the perfect wedding receives an unexpected invitation to intern at a major wedding and events company, she jumps at the chance. She meets her only known family and enters into her first romance, but what if all her fortune is a little too good to be true? In a world full of lies, she must come to terms with a terrible family secret. I was involved with the process of the book from the start, throughout the main drafting process, and with edits requested by agents, acquisitions editors, and publishers.

Ghostwritten book for a client that was published by a major publishing company. Set against the backdrop real-life historic events, the book follows the trials and tribulations of several families living as part of a close-knit community. Addiction, pregnancies, and prison threaten to tear decades-old friendships apart, but when loved ones become embroiled in tragic events, they remind everyone of what is really important. I was involved with the process of the book from the start, throughout the main drafting process, as well as through redrafts and edits requested by agents, acquisitions editors, and publishers.

Ghostwritten book for a client that was published by a smaller, Texas-based publishing company. Tells the story of a woman who was discriminated against when she was younger and forced into a controlling marriage, who then begins an affair with a childhood friend when he comes back into her life. I was involved with the process of the book from a very early stage, throughout the main drafting process, as well as through redrafts and edits requested by the publishers.

Self-employed

I have worked as a self-employed ghostwriter for near to 13 years. Genres have included urban fantasy, zombies, and clean western romance, but I have come to specialise in cozy mystery, literary fiction, and women's fiction genres like chick-lit.
