Let's collaborate. With your subject expertise and my writing expertise, I can help you fulfil your dream of becoming a published author.

Hi, I'm Karen McCreadie, I'm an award winning ghostwriter and author and I've been writing professionally since 2000.

During that time, I've written over 70 books on subjects as diverse as leadership, neuroscience, personality profiling, marketing, big data, analytics, psychology, personal development, parenting, health, change management, politics, learning & development, property development, innovation, stock market investing, HR and wealth creation. I can write in any genre - so long as you are an expert in that field. Most of my clients are busy professionals, business leaders, entrepreneurs, consultants or international speakers who have something valuable to share with the world but struggle to carve out the time to write their book. So, 'write my book' rolls over to the New Year Resolution list... again.

We think nothing about hiring a marketing professional to create a marketing campaign or a designer to produce a logo and make a beautiful website but we hesitate when it comes to hiring a ghostwriter. Why? The book is still your book. It's still your ideas, your IP, your content or your methodology. You are still the author. All I do is act as a conduit and convert your thoughts onto the page to create a well written, content rich book that acts as a perpetual brand and business development tool for you and your business.

I love the collaboration process, meeting new people and embarking on a new learning adventure where we create something together that neither of us could have created alone. Besides, according to Bookstatistics.com it takes the average first-time author 725 hours to write their first standard size (80,000 words) non-fiction book. Just take a moment to convert that into money by multiplying 725 by your hourly rate. That's the opportunity cost of not hiring a ghostwriter!

Let's collaborate so you can become the published author you deserve to be.

Work Terms

If possible we would meet face to face. I live in the UK but I also work with clients in the US and Australia. Even if we do manage to meet up, most of the work is done on Skype. I interview you and record those conversations. The transcript then forms the basis of the book. Edits are done via email. Please visit website for full portfolio of books.
