Ryan Peter – Ghostwriter

I’ve written over a dozen books for business leaders, entrepreneurs, public speakers, activists, pastors & thought leaders.

Overview

I have written over a dozen full-length published books, some of which have become bestsellers in my home country. My work has helped my clients win several awards and receive international recognition. Many of my clients include people you probably know, if you keep up to date with the news. My books have been featured in the New York Times, New York Review, CNBC, Mail & Guardian, and many other publications.

I've written for thought leaders and influencers of all kinds: politicians, media contributors, entrepreneurs, psychologists, social and civil rights activists, motivational speakers, and more.

In addition to that, I've published over twenty smaller books for various clients and many articles in national and international news media such as BBC News, CNBC, Mail & Guardian, The Times, the Sunday Times, The Star, and others; and I have guided many clients through the book publishing process.

Under my own name I've published fiction: "When Twins War", a fantasy tale; and non-fiction: "Your Single Happiness" and "ALIVE".

I love ghostwriting. I get to meet interesting people and, best of all, help them to tell their story and make their message loud, clear, engaging, and inspiring.
