Sean Connolly – Ghostwriter

The first questions most authors would like to ask a publisher – if they had the nerve – are “Do you have any idea of the effort I’ve put in to produce this manuscript?”and “Or any idea of what I’m trying to say in it?” I’m one of the few who can answer “yes” and “yes”. Because, like President Bill Clinton, I share the pain … of anyone who’s toiled to produce a manuscript – as well as the sense of exhiliration when that manuscript emerges “hot off the press” and on bookstore shelves.

As a successful author (who's also earned his stripes as an editor!) I know what it takes to capture the attention of publishers and the reading public. I am an American who has lived in the UK for many years, forging links with publishers on both sides of the Atlantic. Curiosity and a love of variety have been watchwords over a long career that has seen me write or edit scores of books, in subjects ranging from politics and art history to science and children's jokes.
