You have some great ideas, but not a whole lot of 
experience in actually writing text.

Ghostwriting Service

Depending on the subject, I can offer to do a little ghostwriting for you.

I have a talent for taking a snippet of information and creating some meaningful text. You might just have the greatest idea about an article, perhaps a newsletter that you would like to start up, maybe even a self-help text that you have decided you'd like to write. You have some great ideas and can get the ideas down on paper, but you need a little help here and there.

I can help by offering help with how to phrase an idea, better words to use, and minor rewrites of entire sentences. I can offer thoughtful queries about sentences or whole sections that "don't make sense" or are hard to understand.

We can work together to get your text to say what you need it to say.


I invite you to read my two-part series "Writing Effectively" for a few suggestions and tips on how to "get it all down on paper."

Thank you for visiting my web page! I look forward to working with you .
