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 ghostwriter to write your book, or if you have written a book and require an editor to help you make the best of your own writing, you have arrived at the right place. For people with an idea for a novel, biography or screenplay, or those preparing submissions for publishers, literary agents, magazine editors or production companies, the competition is going to be stiff and projects must meet the high standards demanded in today's 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 ghost-written numerous books and as an editor I have helped guide many writers to publication. My work has allowed me to travel the world and meet the most interesting people, from the Hollywood actress planning her come back with her autobiography Carol Comes Home to the inside story of the West's secret army in Iraq told by Captain James Ashcroft in Making A Killing. In spring of 2008, Berg Publishers in the UK with Palgrave-MacMillan in the US brought out the 2nd edition of Making Short Films: The Complete Guide From Script To Screen, 'the bible of making short films,' the standard text in some 70 media colleges worldwide. I have worked as the editor with a divorce lawyer whose book of advice became a mass circulation Penguin paperback, and with Jacky Trevane on Fatwa, the story of an English woman's escape from Egypt. Fatwa has been translated into seven languages. It is a true life adventure story, but it is the telling of the tale, and the way that it is told, that matters. The idea is only 10%. The rest is hard graft and for any project to succeed, it first has to be written.

'Ashcroft must have formed a good working alliance with the ghostwriter, Clifford Thurlow, too, because this diary of death and destruction radiates not just personality, but that elusive, lyrical honesty the existentialists used to call "authenticity".' Andy Martin, The Daily Telegraph 'Tales of bombs, shooting, corruption and, inevitably, death…in an Andy McNab style tale 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 
'Thurlow brings his personable style to Making Short Films and turns what is effectively a step by step text book into an easily assimilated, fact-packed tutorial with all the dynamism and panache of a contemporary novel…an essential took of the trade and indispensable for the embryonic auteur.' Mike Von Joel, State of Art 'Clifford Thurlow's book is the definitive must have for any filmmaker contemplating making and marketing a short.' Elliot Grove, Director of Raindance Visit www.making-short-films.com 
'I thought this was a fascinating book. I read it in a day – I literally could not put it down.' Hayley, Amazon |
