Joe C.

Copywriter Focused on Delivering Quality Creative Writing Projects

Currently, I run my own ghostwriting business, Curly Wolf Freelancing, which I've done for almost ten years now. I supplement this work with select lucrative projects through Gotham Ghostwriters, a prestigious ghostwriting agency based in New York. I also have a literary agent in London who is currently shopping two of my novels (a dark fantasy, and a cosy LitRPG) to publishers over there. I've written 70+ novels now, working with recurring clients. Notably I've worked with Royal Guard Publishing, who are one of the largest publishers of LitRPG in the States. As a New Zealander, I was lucky enough, after leaving university, to spend time working in the film industry; in post-production for Weta Digital. I have also recently worked for Luma Pictures in Melbourne, on projects like The Hobbit, Aquaman, Mary Poppins Returns, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. During university - where I studied Creative Writing and Travel Writing - I spent many blissful hours ensconced in any new bar or restaurant that popped up in Wellington, reviewing them for the local government tourism website. Happily there's no lack of budding restauranteurs in that city, so not only did I get to cut my teeth writing-wise there and find my own narrative voice, I also got to avoid the typical student diet of dry packet noodles dipped in mayonnaise. I've written for online mens' magazine in Australia such as D'Marge, as well as having my fiction published in places like Dark Recesses Press. The majority of my time is now spent ghostwriting fiction for clients in the US, UK, UAE and Australia. Cooking up a story, using an idea that a client wants to see come to life, is something that I really enjoy. My turnaround and accuracy when it comes to first drafts has meant that I have been referred to clients numerous times in the self-publishing industry. I'm punctual with regards to communication and deadlines, and keen to work for and with passionate people. If a project captures my imagination then I'll give it the old Kiwi 110%, working with the client until they're absolutely satisfied with the result.
