I'm a professionally qualified & experienced ghostwriter from the UK, who's been in the business of creating fictional worlds for over 20 years. I now mainly focus on sci-fi and fantasy, and worldbuilding in gaming.

    With an MA in Creative Writing, I've written 120+ stories: from picture books to adult mass-market, from graphic novels to screenplays, and everything in between. For all ages. For a variety of clients: traditional publishers, independent publishing houses, entertainment studios, companies, celebrated people, charities, and more.

    Previously, I've also worked as a fiction editor & author mentor; plus a teacher, bookseller & librarian too!

    You can watch a short animated feature written by me by searching 'FATES — BARREN Sci-Fi Short Film (2023)' on YouTube.

      Thank you Kelley for your insightful critique. It was exactly what i was looking for. Something highly constructive so I can go back to my manuscript and rework on it to make it better. Much appreciated.

      Kelley came up with really innovative options. She then worked with me to narrow them down to the right fit for my book.
      Thanks Kelley!

      Kelly is FANTASTIC!!! And believe me, I am critical. (Kelly, don't get a big head...I have yet to respond personally to your critique. It was brilliant though)'

      I would recommend Kelly to anyone writing a book. I never imagined I would get as much feedback and learn so much from one simple exercise. Well Done K!
