“To bring more God-honoring, life-changing books into the marketplace.”
That is Josh Kelley’s mission and passion. He is a traditionally published author and full-time freelancer with over a dozen collaborative or ghostwritten books, one of which was published by Wiley and another offered representation by WordServe Literary. His books have an average Amazon rating of 4.8 stars and he’s a “Top 200 Performer” with Reedsy.
A former pastor of fifteen years with a degree in biblical studies and minor in biblical languages, he’s able to add wisdom and authority to projects. And the seven years he spent bartending give him the ability to connect with every kind of client and tell hard stories with honesty.
Whether or not he receives collaboration credit, Josh believes that ghostwriting is a partnership. He starts by helping the client discover what makes their project compelling and clarify their content, then helps them create a proposal that gets attention. From there, he loves crafting their message into a book that is insightful and engaging—his ADHD gives him little tolerance for boring books.
Josh specializes in:
- Christian living books filled with practical wisdom and stories that move the reader to action. Click here for an example.
- Meaningful memoirs—captivating stories embedded with impactful truth. Click here for an example.
His ideal client is someone with a strong platform and unique message who is looking for a partner to help them create a great book. Insatiably curious, Josh loves to travel and enter his client’s world so he can capture their personality and voice on the page.
Past clients include the pastor of a historical Black church, a former atheist who met God in prison and became a successful entrepreneur, a Nigerian businesswoman, and a best-selling author and speaker who has keynoted with Michael Hyatt.
