Overview
I'm a professional editor and ghostwriter. I work with all types of non-fiction authors and have been a professor of creative writing for the past twenty years in the UK. I am a member of the National Association of Writers in Education, the Chartered Institute of Public Relations, a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a member of the Society of Authors. I have published over eleven books in my own name and ghosted and edited numerous titles for business and private clients. I have also written two undergraduate writing degrees and two postgraduate degrees: MA Creative Writing and Publishing and MA Creative Writing: Industry and Practice. I live and work in Hampshire, UK and Los Angeles, USA. I am particularly interested in writing or editing anything that involves a degree of transformation or change. I work with many entrepreneurs, business people, celebrities and individuals, writing memoirs and personal narratives. I look forward to hearing all about your project and the possibility of working with you on your writing adventures.
I have edited or ghostwritten narratives from sex activism for a famous social media influencer, to diversity and inclusion for an entrepreneur, from dangerous sporting activities for a celebrated adventurer, to soft-communication skills for a business leader - and everything in between! I have secured serialisation rights in a national newspaper for my current key 'author' and his story has been optioned by a major production company in Hollywood.
NOTE: My many ghostwriting clients are subject to confidentiality agreements, but I can provide references and names of books etc. on demand and with their permission.

I loved working with Sandra, right from the beginning she took time to get to know me and my story. She gave constructive feedback, positive suggestions and very professional editing of my ms. Working with Sandra also gave me belief in myself as an author and that my story is worth sharing. I highly recommend her.
