I’m Richard Lowe. I write books for people who have something to say and no time to write it down. A good amount of that work happens right here in Safety Harbor. (See also the bookshop across from the gazebo) Not “served from a distance.” Here. I meet clients in town, I’ve given talks in town, and I’ve spent years pointing cameras at its streets. If you want a ghostwriter who actually knows the place you live, that’s a real thing I can offer.
Why hire a ghostwriter in Safety Harbor?
Safety Harbor is an art town, and it wears it honestly. There is local art everywhere, including one downtown building that is itself a work of art. People poured real craft into it until the building became the thing worth looking at. Every year the town closes the streets for a chalk-art festival, and the pavement turns into a gallery for a weekend. I’ve spent time at these events, and they tell you something about the place: it takes making things seriously, in a relaxed, unpretentious way. That’s exactly the atmosphere a book gets written in.
I am a photographer as well as a writer, and Safety Harbor has given me no shortage of subjects. The architecture. The waterfront. And the people, who are half the reason an art town is worth photographing in the first place. The same attention that finds a photograph in an ordinary street is the attention I bring to a manuscript. Notice what matters, then frame it so a reader sees it too.
How would a Safety Harbor book project work?
Safety Harbor is where most of my local projects begin: a first meeting over a meal at the Safety Harbor Resort and Spa, then working sessions at the library next door when a quiet table helps. Every session is recorded, you get a summary after each one, and chapters arrive as they’re written. For the full picture, see how a ghostwriting project works.
Can a Safety Harbor ghostwriter handle a technical book?
An art town still has technologists, and I spent 33 years in enterprise IT before writing full time. If your book is about software, security or systems, you won’t need to explain the basics. See why technical books need a ghostwriter who gets tech.
What does Safety Harbor give a writer?
I write about this town as well as in it. If you are working on something yourself, I have put together a guide to where to write in Safety Harbor, from the library to the pier to the oaks at Philippe Park, and a longer piece on the library itself, the best free workspace in town. For the history under all of it, there is five hundred years of selling the same spring water and the Tocobaga mound under the picnic tables.
