I’m Richard Lowe, a ghostwriter and author who lives in Pinellas County, the peninsula that holds Clearwater, Safety Harbor, St. Petersburg, and a long string of towns in between. I don’t just work from one address here. I’ve driven most of these roads, stopped in most of these towns, and worked with people scattered across the county. (See also including every bookstore in it) If you want a ghostwriter who actually knows where you live, you’ve found one. If you want the full picture, here are my ghostwriting services.
Why hire a ghostwriter in Pinellas County?
Pinellas is a peninsula, and that shapes the whole feel of the place. There’s the Gulf side to the west, with the beaches and the open water that turns rough when the weather does, and the calmer bay side to the east. Between them sits a chain of towns, most of them a good size, each with its own character, its own little shops and local things to do.
I like to explore it. I take road trips through the county for no better reason than to see what’s there, and there’s always something: a local spot, a stretch of waterfront, a corner of a town I hadn’t noticed before. The area is building up fast these days, but it still rewards anyone willing to wander. That same curiosity is what makes me a decent ghostwriter: I’m interested in places, people, and what makes them tick. That’s most of the job when you’re trying to write a book in someone else’s voice.
Who have you worked with across Pinellas County?
Over the years I’ve worked with people from around Pinellas, mostly bloggers and small-book authors, the kind of local clients who had something to say and wanted help saying it well. Some of that work started over a meal in town; some of it started with a phone call from a few miles up the road. The advantage of a local ghostwriter is simple: when you describe your corner of the county, I already know it. I also write for authors in Clearwater.
How would a Pinellas County book project work?
Anywhere on the peninsula, a book starts the same way: an hour-long kickoff, then recorded interviews wherever suits you, in person at Safety Harbor or by phone and Zoom. You approve the outline, then read and correct each chapter as it arrives. The details are in how a ghostwriting project works.
Can a Pinellas County ghostwriter handle a technical book?
Pinellas has a surprising number of defense, medical-device and software companies. With 33 years in enterprise IT behind me, their books don’t need to be dumbed down or explained twice. The longer version is in why technical books need a ghostwriter who gets tech.
What does Pinellas County give a writer?
I write about the writing life in this county as well as working in it. There is a guide to getting your book onto Pinellas library shelves, one on finding a writing group worth sitting in, and one aimed at people who retired here with a life behind them and have never written it down.
