Nancy W.

Ghostwriter, Editor, Bool Coach, Publishing Specialist

I am a seasoned ghostwriter, editor, book coach, and publishing specialist with 22 years of hands-on experience as an indie publisher, successfully turning manuscripts into finished books. I also have a Ph.D. in Literature from the University of Chicago. My skills include book coaching, ghostwriting, content creation, developmental editing, proofreading, ebook and print formatting, audio production, graphic layout, cover design, and managing the logistics of the publishing process. My past projects cover a wide range of subjects, including academia, art history, business, culinary arts, health, personal memoir, music, self-improvement, technology, and travel. In addition to my publishing expertise, I have a strong business background based on two decades spent working for Fortune 500 companies. That experience taught me the project management skills to successfully guide a client’s book to completion. Aside from my freelance activities, I am also an award-winning, bestselling historical fiction author.
