I believe there has never been a better time to be a freelance writer.

I believe that everyone has the right to tell their story and that there is no shame involved if they need to ask a ghost writer to help them.

I believe that subjects like child abuse and prostitution need to be faced fairly and squarely and we need to listen to the stories that people have to tell us about such difficult subjects. That is the only way we will learn how to help future potential victims.

I believe the book publishing industry needs to look for ways to promote its wares more imaginatively through media like YouTube.

Many years ago I predicted the arrival of the modern celebrity world in my book, "Hype -the essential guide to marketing yourself" (published by Hutchinson), and I have seen many of my predictions come true with fascinating, and sometimes horrifying, results.

The best way to start learning about me is to visit my website, www.andrewcrofts.com. where there are articles about me and about ghostwriting and information about many of the books I have written.

I will always be happy to answer specific email enquiries to the best of my ability.
