About Me

I’m Tom Henry, and I’m a UK-based professional freelance ghostwriter, working mainly in the area of non-fiction. I’ve ghosted around 20 books  - some of which appear on this website – that have been published nationally, to critical acclaim. My background is in journalism: 20-plus years working in newspapers, magazines, book publishing and digital media have taught me that the strength of a story is everything, and that to listen carefully is the greatest asset a writer can have.

 

Melanie Greenwood

I’m now working with Melanie Greenwood, an excellent writer and editor with many years’ experience in regional, national and international journalism. Melanie has an MA in Creative Writing from Bath Spa University and is very personable, friendly and easy to work with. If you’d like to contact her directly, please use the contact form on this website.

 

Why Hire a Ghostwriter?

• You’ve written your autobiography, but feel your writing may not be publishable.
• You have an idea for a non-fiction book but don’t know where to start.
• You’re a busy person but have no time to tell the world about yourself.

For these reasons, hiring a professional ghostwriter like me is the ideal solution.

What Does a Ghostwriter Do?

• Turns thoughts in the head or words on a page into a readable, engaging form that can be published; in print or electronically.
• Works with people who have compelling, lively, inspiring and sometimes tragic stories to tell and either need the hand of a professional writer to guide them through the writing process or have very little time to do the writing themselves.
• Seeks out good stories that can be transformed into great ones.

My only criteria? Do I find this story interesting and will others feel the same?

If you are looking to hire a ghostwriter this website will explain:

• How I work
• The different types of publisher operating at present
• What the fee structure is
• What others think of me and my work 

 

 I can work with you on either a full manuscript or a selling document (usually known as a ‘submission’) The latter is a professionally-produced document of around 10,000 words which gives an introduction to the book, a breakdown of chapter content and a sample chapter. (see How It Works) A submission is an industry-standard document that almost all publishers and agents require when considering whether to accept a book for publication.

Tell Me Your Story!

If you think you ‘have a book in you’ tell me about it. Along with all reputable, nationally-known publishers and agents I do not charge fees for reading SHORT outlines. I am friendly, approachable and open to ideas, because it is ideas – good ones – that are the lifeblood of the publishing industry. That said, if you want to continue the process then yes, I do charge for my time.
