Nancy Peske – Editor

Nancy Peske is a ghostwriter, best-selling author, book publishing consultant, writer, and developmental editor.

Overview

I'm a ghostwriter, developmental editor, book writing coach, and book publishing consultant in transformational nonfiction: psychology, self-help, business, life lessons books, memoir, and more. My books win awards, becoe bestsellers, brand authors, and stand the test of time. My clients are writing a book as a legacy or an investment in their business or cause and want to have a top industry professional helping them shape their vision for getting the book written and published. More than just a bestselling ghostwriter and developmental editor, I am a passionate "wordmason" who will help you build your book.

My career in book publishing began in the late 1980s in New York City when I worked at major publishing houses in the Adult Trade division acquiring projects for the company's list. Over the years, I've worked with thought leaders such as Dean Ornish, Christiane Northrup, and Marianne Williamson. My clients have been published with a variety of houses. Books I've worked on have become bestsellers (yes, even on the New York Times list), had rights licensed in many languages, won awards, and even been made into a TV show that ran for a decade. I've worked with such publishers as Random House, Penguin Books, Hachette, Hay House, Inner Traditions, Findhorn Press, and Chiron Publications.
