My recommendation for a fantastic ghost writer is Toni Robino. She is also an editor and works as a book agent so has a comprehensive perspective. She has written on very diverse topics including heavy business (for me) and is extremely capable. Contact Toni at robino@withflyingcolours.com or 740/987-6873.
