Welcome
I am a professional ghostwriter, author, editor and proofreader with over 30 years of experience.
A native English speaker, I have a BA in Philosophy and a TESOL in English language teaching.
I have written more than 30 successfully published books in a ghostwriting capacity. Some have featured on The Sunday Times bestseller list, as well as consistently ranking amongst the top 10 best sellers in their category on Amazon.
My creative influences come from literature, philosophy, history, mythology, the arts, and life itself.
After studying and working in the UK, I lived for over 20 years in the vibrant city of Athens before retreating to a secluded corner of the Peloponnese. Here, the magnificent aura of sea and sky allows me to fully harness my creative energy.
Clients often ask me when I first began writing and my answer is always the same: from the moment I learnt how to hold a pen. Being a book lover with a passion for the written word has shaped who I am today and has become the very fabric of my existence.
When I am not writing, I am out walking or swimming with my faithful canine companion, Moira (Greek for 'destiny').
Why do you need a ghostwriter?
'Ghostwriting is one of the oldest professions in the world.'
Ghostwriting isn't something new.
When the Sumerian goddess Nisaba invented literacy, she used her creative energy to inspire scribes, who were commissioned to write for their masters. Nisaba was also an oracular goddess, well gifted in dream interpretation, and is the muse for my website logo.
Today, many people like yourself choose to commission a ghostwriter to get their story to print and there are a number of reasons why you may wish to do so.
You don't have the time to write your own book
You are too preoccupied with other aspects of your life

Why do you need editing and proofreading services?
Redefining and perfecting your words
You may already have a draft manuscript you need editing or proofreading. It could be that you partially written a book and need it expanding. You might have already edited your manuscript and want a further review of its content.
I offer several kinds of editing before the final proofreading stage:
Developmental Editing
In this stage, I will focus on the overall structure, content, and coherence of your manuscript. I will examine it for organization, flow, clarity, and consistency of ideas, characters, plotlines, or arguments. I will then suggest revisions, rearrange sections, or provide feedback on improving the manuscript's overall effectiveness.
Line Editing
I will focus on the sentence level, improve the language, style, and clarity of the writing. I will pay attention to sentence structure, grammar, word choice, syntax, and readability. I may then suggest rephrasing sentences, eliminating redundancies, improving clarity, and enhancing the overall flow and impact of the prose.
Copy Editing
Copy editing involves checking for grammar, punctuation, spelling, and formatting errors. I will ensure consistency in usage, adhere to style guidelines, and correct any mechanical issues. I may also check for internal consistency, such as consistency in character names, dates, and facts.
Proofreading
This is the final stage before publishing and focuses on identifying and correcting any remaining errors. I will carefully checks for typos, misspellings, punctuation errors, formatting issues, and other minor mistakes. I will provide you with a polished and error-free final manuscript.
