It is often said that everyone has a book in them. This is probably true and the purpose of this site is to help you find it. If you are looking for a ghost writer to help with your book, or if you have written a book and require an editor to make the best of your writing, you have arrived at the right place. For people working on a novel, biography or screenplay, or those preparing submissions for publishers, literary agents or production companies, what a ghost-writer brings to the project is the professional standards demanded in this highly competitive market. You may get only one chance to have your work considered. A professional writer can help you make the most of it. During the past two decades I have ghosted numerous books and as an editor I have guided many writers to publication. My work has allowed me to meet the most interesting people, from the Hollywood actress planning her come back with her ghost-written autobiography Carol Comes Home, to the teacher Jacky Trevane, whose ghosted memoirs Fatwa: Living With A Death Threat describes her flight across the desert with two children to escape an abusive husband. In Spain I worked as the ghost-writer on the best-selling Sex, Surrealism, Dali and Me with one of the painter's long-time aides, and after ghosting Today I'm Alice with a woman suffering Multiple Personality Disorder, I was described by Penny Wark of The Times as 'the best ghost writer in the UK.' I have worked with James Ashcroft as the ghost writer on two military memoirs, Making A Killing and Escape From Baghdad. Widely reviewed in the United States as well as the UK, Andy Martin, wrote in The Daily Telegraph: "Ashcroft must have formed a good working alliance with ghostwriter Clifford Thurlow...because this diary of death and destruction radiates not just personality but that illusive, lyrical honesty the existentialists used to call authenticity.' Many books fail on the point of succeeding. What a ghost writer can do is give a manuscript that extra edge.

"Clifford Thurlow is the UKs best ghost writer," Penny Wark, The Times 'A genuinely terrifying insight into how execution squads now stalk Baghdad targeting people who helped the coalition forces ... An encounter with a suicide bomber is truly harrowing but Ashcroft somehow manages to blend stark realism with gallows humour ... Edge of the seat stuff.' Emma Barrow, News of the World 'Readers who like big guns and adrenaline-buzzed adventure will love the second outing for Ashcroft and co-writer Clifford Thurlow ... Nuggets of political insight are woven through this page-turning adventure that is head and shoulders above the other military memoirs hitting the shelves' Fiona Hedges, London Lite Sunday Times Top Ten best-seller 'A compelling account of the strategies she has used to survive more than two decades of grotesque sexual, physical and emotional harm. It is not comfortable reading but it does offer insight into a form of mental illness that is more pervasive than we may realise.' Penny Wark, The Times "This is a remarkably lucid account of a life that has been fractured by multiple personality disorder... This isn't a misery memoir but an account of mental illness that's so beautifully written it reminded me of Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar...You won't be able to get her story out of your head..." Amber Cowan, London Lite 'Between coalition troops and the Iraqi security forces lies an unnamed and unaccounted third column: soldiers of fortune. This action-packed page turner tells the story of Captain James Ashcroft's 18 months on the front line in Baghdad and reveals with ghostwriter Clifford Thurlow how ex-soldiers employed to protect US and British interests are earning up to $1000 a day in a war that is slowly being privatised.' D L Rhinehart, Amazon.com 'Tales of bombs, shooting, corruption and, inevitably, death...in an Andy McNab style of derring-do...but Ashcroft is no lightweight and is not shy about offering his analysis of the anarchy he witnessed every day.' Penny Wark, The Times. Visit www.makingakilling.co.uk
