Nicola Stow
Hello, and welcome to my website. I’m an internationally bestselling, awarded-nominated writer of inspirational, human interest, and true-crime memoirs – and I love my job with a passion. To date, I've ghosted nine commercial books and authored another, The Real-Life Murder Clubs: Citizens Solving True Crimes, which became a WHSmith top 50 bestseller. I have also collaborated on several other private book projects.
Some books I’ve written have been translated into German, Spanish and Japanese and have received hundreds of five-star Amazon reviews, ratings and serialisations in national newspapers and magazines – with some titles attracting global headlines. I have written for a host of publishers, including Penguin Books USA and Hachette.
Recent books I’ve ghosted include Amazon bestsellers Taking Back My Power: Our Bodies. Our Consent, for Love Island star Georgia Harrison, and No Safe Place: Murdered by our Father, the heart-breaking but inspirational story of Bekhal Mahmod, who bravely became the first female in British legal history to give evidence against family members in an honour-killing trial – and won justice for her sister Banaz. Among other memoirs I’ve ghosted n recent years are: Unspoken: The Silent Truth Behind My Lifelong Trauma as a Forced Adoptee, and One Chance: Surviving London’s Gangs, which charts author Terroll Lewis’s incredible journey from feared Brixton gang leader to community fitness hero.
Cabin Fever, an international bestseller, was shortlisted for the People’s Book Prize.
I hold a master’s degree in journalism and feature as one of the UK’s top ghosts in The Complete Guide to Ghostwriters, by Teena Lyons.
