Mari Barnes – Ghostwriter

A proud Word Nerd with more than 30 years' experience. I know where the commas go...and where they don't.

Overview

I adore childrens' books and have ghostwritten 5 of them. Partnering with authors to make good books better is a passion of mine; mystery/thrillers, fantasy, historical and science fiction are my favorites. I've edited several Christian fiction novels. An author myself, I understand how precious our work is to us. I'm patient, respectful, honest and deadline-driven.
