Confidential project for a public figure (2022)
A full-length book, ghostwritten for a public figure whose identity stays private.
Ghostwriting & creative work
Some of my work carries someone else’s name, and that is the point.
Ghostwriting starts with listening. I interview, ask the questions that open up memory, and learn how a person speaks before I write a line in their voice. The harder part comes after: putting years of experience into an order a reader can follow, and building a book that holds its shape from the first chapter to the last.
I also work with private clients on memoirs, asylum narratives and recommendation letters.
Creative work
Dear Human
An ongoing series of letters about relationships and the parts of life people rarely say out loud. Each one is written as if to a single reader.
The Cooking Pen
Love letters, wedding vows and private commissions for couples.
Selected pieces
“Dear Future Wife”: a letter about hope and endurance.
“Lover”: a reflection on forgiveness and resilience.
“The Spark in My Quiet World” (excerpt): poetic prose about love as light in darkness.

Case study
Global Talent visa recommendation letters
- Challenge
- Applicants had solid records but struggled to present their achievements clearly and convincingly.
- Approach
- I worked with each applicant to understand what they had done, then organised the evidence into a clear account of their work and why it mattered.
- Deliverable
- Recommendation letters built around each applicant’s evidence, written to read as the recommender’s own.

Testimonials
In their words
“Thank you for bringing my story to life. I am glad I was referred to you for this project.”
“The Dear Human series has been a worthy companion. Your words liberate the thoughts that hold us back. Thank you for always writing to us.”
“It’s an unputdownable book. I read it in less than 3 hours and loved every bit. For those hours, I forgot my own challenges and was lost in Kunle’s journey. After reading, I asked myself: peace or truth, which serves a greater purpose?”
“Your words are raw, emotional, and deeply relatable. Reading Journey to the Future made me cry, laugh, fear, and hope at the same time. You are indeed the best storyteller.”
