Michael Loomis – Ghostwriter

Ghostwriter/co-writer. 20+ years in publishing & marketing. 4 New York Times Bestsellers. Nonfiction, business, faith, politics, memoir.

Overview

I'm a book developer and ghostwriter

I also coach authors on planning the best book for their goals, and crucial next steps after publishing.

Because of my twenty-plus years of experience, I help authors refine their idea, polish their work, and reach their audience.

I can help you from concept to completion.

I've worked with NYT bestselling authors, publishers (Simon and Schuster, Hachette, Multnomah, Zondervan, Random House, Nelson, NavPress, and Penguin) and three recent projects hit the New York Times Bestseller list.

But I'm also truly honored to help first-time authors. In many ways, I find it even more rewarding to help new/indie authors navigate the journey!

What advice do you have for first-time memoir writers?

In writing your memoir, my best advice for first steps is to zoom out and look at the end result as a "product." That's tough to do, especially with your life story.
