YOUR STORY MEMOIR IDEA
CAN NOW BE TOLD.
It’s time to write your book.
Hello. I'm Ryan Peter, a best-selling
Writer, ghostwriter, writing coach, indie author & journalist
and I help people write their story.
You’ve got a great idea, but you’re not trained in the craft of writing. Neither do you really have the time.
You want to improve your writing but don’t know how.
Neither of these should stop your idea from getting out to the world.
That’s where I come in.
One of these books could be yours.
As a ghostwriter, I’ve written books, autobiographies, and articles for thought leaders and influencers of all kinds: politicians, media contributors, entrepreneurs, psychologists, social activists, motivational speakers, and more.
Many of my clients include people you probably know, if you keep up to date with the news.
As a ghostwriter based in South Africa, I have written for people in the U.S., UK, New Zealand, and other parts of Africa.
I know how to get a project done. And done well.

I don’t just write your book but I also can guide you through the publishing process; help you refine your message so that it is clear, engaging, and inspiring; and give you insight into building your career as an author and speaker.
Journalism
I leverage my journalism and research skills in my ghostwriting, which allows me to make complex subjects easy and engaging for readers.
