Latest Praise working with Melissa
One of the benefits I enjoy about the work I do as a writer and publisher is getting to know people. Each person has a unique story and background. And, thanks to technology, geographic location no longer matters in this niche.
I have worked with many authors as a ghostwriter. I have also collaborated as a writing partner with single authors and as a project manager with co-author teams. If you are considering one of these pathways to write and/or publish a book, you may find testimonials from people I have worked with helpful.
I invite you to read through a selection of latest praise comments below. My ghostwriter projects will be reflected as “Anonymous” due to confidentiality. Contact me if you would like to have a conversation about your book project.
What are people saying about Melissa on recent book projects
Ghostwriter – #1
“Melissa made writing a book a positive experience. I tried writing my book for over three years and just couldn’t get beyond the outline and first chapter. I’m grateful how she had me stick to the schedule we came up with. I never would have finished the book without her.”

Ghostwriter – #2
“I liked how accessible Melissa was. When I found out she could record our interviews using Zoom and then write up the manuscript for me to edit, I was thrilled. As a business owner, I didn’t have time to write anything. Because of her, I’m now a published author.”
~Anonymous
ghostwriter/writing coach – #3
“I’m not a detail person, so Melissa has been invaluable handling everything up to the release of my book. What I have found incredibly helpful is that she is available for me to text or email for other book-related questions or writing projects. It’s really nice to have someone I can trust when I need something done.”

Writing Coach
“I was referred to Melissa by someone who had also used her services and was very pleased. I had been trying to write a book, but having challenges as a first-time author making my dream come true. I kept getting stuck and frustrated, which lengthened my process. Once I began working with Melissa, the process, structure, and outline made it doable. Her guidance, wealth of experience, patience, and feedback brought my project to completion in a timely fashion. Her mentorship, regular meetings, and encouragement helped me overcome my obstacles. Today, I am thrilled with the impeccable quality of my book, finished and on the market. Overcoming stuckness with a completion is wonderful. I would highly recommend Melissa, and I look forward to future endeavors. She is full of great ideas!
