WRITING FOR OTHERS IS MY PASSION.
LET ME HELP YOU BRING YOUR STORY INTO THE LIGHT
Everybody has a story to tell. As a ghostwriter, I can help you write and publish your story so that you can share it with the world.

If your story has already been written and simply requires the polish of an edit, I can do that too. Please click on the Editing tab in the menu above for more information on my editing services.

If you would like to work with me to independently publish your book, please click on the Independent Publishing tab in the menu above to find out more.

ABOUT ME
WHY I DO THE WORK I DO
We all have a story inside of us waiting to be told. Each of us has a message to share with the world. Perhaps it's something that you've been through in your life that nearly destroyed you, but it didn't. Perhaps it's something you've experienced that completely changed your life, but not everybody knows about it. Perhaps it is something beautiful, something amazing, some knowledge that you gained, some wisdom that you have to share.

Not everybody is wired to stand up on a stage and speak or entertain, and not everybody is wired to write a book, or a song. But we all have experiences and we all have life lessons. It's all about partnering with the right person to bring your story into the light.

I published my own story in 2015 after eight years of hiding it at the back of a cupboard, too terrified to share it with the world.

But I did it. I set a goal and stuck to it. And now it's out there. I have never looked back. It was probably the scariest but most liberating thing that I have ever done.

Perhaps it's time for you to do the same, and perhaps I'm the person to help you do it.

How to reach me
I am based in the Western Cape, South Africa, and take on projects all over the world. I have worked with clients in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, the USA, Rwanda, Zambia, Malta and the United Kingdom as a ghostwriter, book editor, and independent publishing consultant, and I can do the same for you.

If you've got a book in you, I will find a way to get to you, work with you, create (or polish) your masterpiece, and get it out there.

Please send me an email at phillipa@phillipamitchell.com detailing your requirements, and I will respond to you within forty-eight hours. Alternatively, click on the Contact Me tab in the menu above to complete an online request form that will go straight to my email inbox.

As I am generally booked up for months in advance, please let me know if you have a deadline in mind so that I can ascertain in advance whether I will be able to accommodate you.

If you would prefer to chat with me by telephone, please include your contact number when you email me, and we can arrange to set up a call. I am, however, always more responsive over email due to the fact that I am generally working on a client's masterpiece during every waking hour I have available. Independent publishing take up less of my time, so I am usually able to begin work on such projects at short notice.

Let's write.
