Hi, I hope this email finds you well. My name is Ashley and I am currently looking for a ghostwriter that I can work with in order to achieve my goals. A bit about me; I currently live in North Wiltshire UK and can usually be found here, London or Europe. I work with horses (namely show jumpers), and also work in finance and property. I am hoping this year to open a wedding barn venue on my land… so basically I am a jack of all trades, master of none! I have recently started to write some short stories but need help in making these projects the best they can be. I am always filled with ideas of scenarios, characters, themes, plot, subtext etc, but the overall structure and dialogue is something I really struggle with. I would like to discuss my recent project further with you and see if you think we can work well together and then from there discuss a quote for the novella. A little about the project I’d like you to help me with; This is a novella is set in medieval England, during the Great Famine of 1315-1317, in the south west - I was inspired by the surrounding countryside of the Marlborough Downs - The main themes are horror, love and feminism. I have some parts written (but I am not precious about anything I’ve written if it doesn’t work). But most importantly I have an ending already worked out, though not in any fine detail. I hope to hear from you soon. Many thanks Ashley McCarthy

Dear Ashley: I would love to read some of your work, this would give me a fair idea about the challenge that awaits. Your dialogues would fall into Middle English or ME, writing them can inspire unease. Since ME is a composition of English, French (Anglo-Norman) and Latin, many authors would choose one or more. However, that does not mean that they are unaware of the rich history, that is the English language. Composing dialogue can be difficult especially when speech patterns and words are blended to imitate something medieval. That is when we read something that has nothing to do with “medieval”, it becomes something else– a badly written novel to be precise. You may eliminate contractions so that the characters sound natural and formal but that doesn’t work either because the modern reader won’t understand it. You may also have read novels that try to sound “old”, for example: using phrases from Shakespeare. So using “thou” instead of “you” is frowned upon. “Where Goest thou, madam?” – how does it sound? Terrible, just terrible. I would rather change the sentence structure and not the vocabulary, so I am not in favour of words like “doth”. Using them for the sake of sounding older is stereotypical. I can help you with dialogue and structure. If you are interested. Kind Regards, Saad About me: I am a professional ghostwriter and editor with more than 100 books in my resume.

Hi! Ashley--I love your energy ( : The idea sounds great, and I am all about feminist angles on any sort of literature. I could certainly help you flesh it out. I have ghostwritten over two dozen books to date--everything from fiction to self help to memoir. The key is for me to get inside of your head--in a non creepy way of course (lol) and bring your vision to life. My approach to writing is based upon taking chances as far as being ultra creative and ultimately making a significant impact on that reading moment in a person's life! You have to be smart about how you utilize words and sentences; screen/page space is a precious commodity not to be wasted. Holding a PhD in English, I know that I can help you create some really great stories! Anne
