Alicia S.

Ghostwriter, Developmental and Line Editor | Memoir and Business Books

Your voice, your message, and your unique way of being are important. My goal is to help you create a story that is "in alignment with you as a human being—and not just some cringe-worthy, tokenized [AI content] that only vaguely resembles you." — Andrea Guevara As a developmental editor, ghostwriter, and line editor, I have worked with clients from China, India, Uganda, Zanzibar, Trinidad, Morocco, El Salvador, Korea, Hawaii, and more. I help clients tell stories about adoption, immigration, mental health, infant loss, spiritual and sexual abuse, drug recovery, and much more. I write books for business and leadership clients ranging from entrepreneurs to top educational leadership, from public speaking coaches to business people worth $100 million. I provide ghostwriting, developmental editing, and line editing services. The key to creating an authentic book is "doing the hard work of... exploring your values, your worth, your vision for what you uniquely contribute to the world. There are no shortcuts. Okay, maybe there are, but the results (and consequences) are NOT the same." If you are looking for someone to dedicate the personal time and attention necessary to capture your unique message, please reach out! Alicia Snyder is a freelancer ghostwriter, editor, and developmental editor living in Wichita, Kansas. Her passion is helping clients bring their writing to life through vivid, descriptive detail and a clear narrative arc. She serves clients writing memoirs, self-help books, and business leadership books. Two of her client's books were published with Rowman and Littlefield Publishing. One memoir won the Illumination Book Award Gold Medal. Another received a Kirkus Star review, one of the most prestigious designations in the book industry. Another client's books has also been translated into another language and sold in multiple countries.
