Judith Arnold

I’m a ghostwriter, editor, author coach and author. I enjoy writing and editing memoir, literary and women’s fiction, romance of all heat levels, romantasy, fantasy and speculative fiction, mysteries and cozies. I’m particularly drawn to true-life stories and mixed-genre mashups told with strong and interesting voices.

Books I’ve worked on have won IPPY and IndieReader Gold Medals and a first-place Chaucer Award. I also worked with bestselling author Viki King (“How to Write a Movie in 21 Days”) on her memoir, “How to Be the Hero of Your Own Life.”

When ghostwriting and editing, my focus is on keeping the client’s voice intact and making sure any changes or suggestions from me are explained clearly so the client understands and can make informed choices about their material. My approach is always collaborative.

I’m an experienced indie author with five books published and several more waiting to be published. I have twenty years’ experience as an English instructor and writing mentor and ten years as an editor.

I have an MA in Applied Linguistics and English Language Teaching, copyediting training and certification from The Publishing Training Centre, developmental editing training from the EFA, and developmental and line editing training from Liminal Pages.
