Roxanne Troup – Ghostwriter

With a background in early childhood education, I specialize in writing picture books and early readers (including graphic-style chapter books); as well as nonfiction for preK-5th graders.

I've worked with both publishers and individuals (from the Big 5 to educational presses—NYT bestsellers to self-published authors) to write/ghostwrite/doctor over 100 books. As an active member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), I regularly mentor other writers through the publishing process and critique scores of manuscripts each year.

Due to NDA agreements, I cannot disclose every project I've worked on; however, I can say that I've ghostwritten:

• multiple pet adoption picture books from an American model/animal welfare activist

• an art therapy picture book from a noted graphic designer/online influencer

• several SEL picture books from female business owners (some of which published with Big 5 publishers)

• multiple STEM picture books with nonfiction backmatter

• two dozen fiction decodable/phonics readers (short stories for newly independent readers) for noted educational publishers in genres such as: mystery, sci-fi, fantasy, historical fiction, humor

• a fantasy chapter book with themes of music and self-discovery for a bestselling middle grade humor author

• two middle grade short story collections (realistic fiction) for educational publishers that included genres of extreme sports, mystery, and family drama

• digital, interactive children’s books for multiple education apps (including ABCMouse)

And I'd love to work with you on your story! (And for those clients who have an idea they'd like to craft themselves but are new to children's writing, I offer book coaching as well.)
