Why Hire Me
YOUR GHOSTWRITER ONLINE specializes in book ghostwriting. That’s important because many ghostwriters you’ll find work mainly on advertising copy, articles, speeches, e-books, sales letters, and other quick money, short-form projects. There’s nothing wrong with that, but there is a difference between writing a book and writing a sales letter. Holding an idea and communicating it through a coherent, interesting, and entertaining story over the course of a book requires a narrative storytelling skill in addition to powerful marketing skills.
My name is T.R. Locke. I am a published, bestselling author, and screenwriter. I have written or collaborated on over two dozen books.
