I want to help you finish your Book

Rachael Asikpo aspires to be a devoted friend on your long journey towards publishing your book. She aims to be in your corner, delving deep and removing every impediment to your story, developing your thoughts to pristine clarity.

She has dedicated a decade of her life to mastering storytelling as both a writer and editor in the following book categories: Fiction (science fiction and fantasy) and Nonfiction (Memoirs, biographies, and self-help). Within this time, she has helped 60+ clients complete or develop their books.

Her writing journey started as an unlikely pivot from Physiology in 2016, when something fundamental changed in her life. She found defining strength and courage of identity by learning lessons recalled from her mother’s past. These epiphanies catalyzed her interest in becoming a writer of stories, helping people to preserve unique experiences and legacies.

Why you should choose Rachael as your Legacy or Memoir Ghostwriter:

Simply put, Rachael cares about YOU in your story.

Rachael prioritizes finding balance between perfection and connection by revisiting her writing in three revisions to elevate the story. She’s thinking about you and all the conversations she had with you and how best to make every paragraph reflect critical truths. Until this is done, truthfully, Rachael will not feel accomplished.

A recently published client had this to say about her work:

“Rachael approached my story with the finesse only a talented writer would.”

Writing became a part of Rachael’s identity from a young age, when she discovered with wonder the different worlds hidden in the recesses of one’s mind. Since discovering her passion for writing, she has given herself to growth as a masterful storyteller. She writes to reveal and provoke, because meaningful writing should incite emotions and inspire us; it should remind us of significant things.

Just as Rachael became fascinated with stories at a young age, she is also captivated by the facets of each story and how words come together to compel, provoke, and rewire neural pathways.
