Samantha Shubert
Bio
I’m Samantha, a ghostwriter, editor, and writing coach. My publishing career spans 35+ years—starting with an English degree from Cornell followed by extensive work in books, magazines, trade publications, and newspapers. The culmination of all that experience was discovering my true calling: helping people write memoirs, biographies, and family histories.
When choosing a ghostwriter, you should find a seasoned professional who makes you feel comfortable, who understands you and your values, and who offers undivided attention, respect, and discretion. In short, choose someone you’ll want to work with over the long term.
Here’s some praise from my recent clients:

You have beautifully and eloquently captured my family’s history, weaving together the various threads of our lives into such a cohesive, compelling, and moving narrative.” (Bill J.)
