Ghostwriting

Alongside my book authorship, editing and journalism, I'm an experienced copywriter, co-author and ghostwriter. This has included sustainability reports and fully ghostwritten books for a number of major climate leaders (some of whom prefer their ghosts to remain invisible). Contact me direct or through Reedsy.

Book: From Crisis to Action: Climate Change Through the Eyes of the Most Vulnerable

"From Crisis to Action takes you straight to the front line of the climate crisis. It brings home in vivid detail the impact climate change is already having on people and communities around the world and paints a picture of what is at stake across seventy climate vulnerable countries. It's also a call to action: to remind us that we have an opportunity to avert the worst impacts and build a resilient world for everyone." Cambridge University Press.

By Abena Takyiwaa Asamoah-Okyere, Ministry of Finance, Ghana, Christina Natalia Widjaja, United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security, and Tim Smedley, writer

"I chose Tim because of his environmental/climate creds and we shared similar views on things. I'm a busy Exec and the book we worked on together was something where i'm an expert in the topics, just not in writing and the partnership really worked. I genuinely looked forward to my calls with Tim each week. They felt more like conversations with a familiar, trusted voice than formal writing sessions — and I’d always come away feeling clearer, more encouraged, and full of ideas. Tim’s brilliant to work with: super knowledgeable, passionate about his craft, and completely reliable. I first chose him because of his climate expertise, but he brought so much more — structure, curiosity, humour, and an ability to get to the heart of what I was really trying to say. He’s a diligent researcher, a sharp editor, and a great coach — but what really stands out is his approach. It never felt transactional. It was a proper collaboration. Whilst the impetus came from me and he wrote the words - the partnership was such that he also made me a better thinker through the process and helped tighten the overall message and thesis. If you want someone who’s smart, grounded, and genuinely cares about helping you get to your best work, I couldn’t recommend Tim more highly. Thanks Tim - really enjoyed working with you."

"Exceptional Ghostwriter! Working with Tim has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From our very first conversation, I knew I was in expert hands. Tim has an incredible gift for transforming life experiences into a beautifully written and compelling manuscript. His attention to detail, storytelling skills, and ability to capture my voice, made the entire process feel effortless. Tim is more than just a writer, he’s a true collaborator, sounding board, and creative partner. Deadlines were always met, communication was seamless, and revisions were handled with professionalism and care. What truly sets Tim apart is his passion for the craft and his genuine investment in bringing my vision to life. The final book not only exceeded my expectations, but I believe it will resonate deeply with my target audience. If you’re looking for a ghostwriter who can deliver exceptional quality, preserve your unique voice, and make the journey enjoyable from start to finish, look no further. I can’t recommend Tim highly enough, he’s simply the best!"

"Honestly, I would need to Tim to edit this review to help me best articulate the value of his work and partnership. Tim is a fantastic writer, editor, and collaborator. I was looking for a partner to help bring my book draft to the next level and Tim did that and more. He took time to truly understand my goals, my values, and how I want the book to be ultimately received in the end. The process was incredibly collaborative, and I am so proud of the state of the book today after working together. Writing a book is a massive undertaking and (in my opinion) you should be surrounded by others that will give it the utmost care and attention that you yourself did writing it - Tim is that person. I am happy to be a reference for anyone that would like to learn more and THANK YOU, TIM!"
