I'm a Sunday Times Bestselling book ghostwriter for hire - Specialising in non-fiction book ghostwriting, including self-help, practical well-being and mental health guides, psychology and business books; a compelling blend of inspiration and information.

Cheryl Rickman
Author / Ghostwriter
I help bring out the book in people as a ghostwriter and author of 28 non-fiction books, written to inspire, empower and equip readers with tools to thrive in life and at work.
I wear many hats (author/storyteller, qualified positive psychology practitioner and mum).
I love woodland walks with the dogs, reading, occasional kitchen-dancing and watching my daughter play football.
I read. I write. This is me.
What I Do
I write, co-write and ghostwrite books to inspire and inform, to help people fret less and flourish more and make the most of life. I've authored 13 of my own books and have ghostwritten 16 books for people with messages they wanted to put out into the world, but didn't have the time to write.
Clients range from elite athletes, business leaders and wellness coaches to TV and sports personalities and therapists.
Book and E-Book Ghostwriting
For Business Leaders, Well-Being Experts and TV Personalities
You're busy and you have something to say, sufficient to put into a book. Perhaps you want to make a difference and know that a book would give you the opportunity to do that. Perhaps you have a high profile and would like to use it to positively impact as many people as possible, through a self-help book that draws on your own life experience? Perhaps you're a life coach or well-being expert and want to book more speaking gigs and equip people with the tools you give to your clients. Either way, you are probably well-known for what you do. However, you likely don't have the time to sit down and write a book yourself. Doing so takes between 4-6 months full-time and that's time YOU need to spend doing what you do best.
You might be well aware of the value a book will bring; positioning you firmly as an expert in your field, elevating your status as such, equipping you with the credibility to secure more speaking engagements and connecting you with more people for whom you can make a real difference.
Since 2007, I’ve been ghostwriting business and well-being books for people like you. My own first book, The Small Business Start-Up Workbook, was published 18 years ago (back in 2005) and continues to be listed as a best-seller. You can find out a bit more about me and my background/credentials here.
These days, I spend the majority of my time teaming up with others by crafting their ideas, stories, life experience and expert advice into books that blend inspiration and information and strive to have a significant impact on those who read them.
Some clients prefer me to write their entire book for them, others like to co-write with me. As long as you have time to read what I have written, we can work together.
