Perhaps you have a draft started, but it’s been laying in a drawer the last few years from not knowing how to make it take shape. Many people who don't have the time or the skill but do have the desire to write a book will often hire ghostwriters.

Welcome to Mamie Books, where we can make your dream come true. Our company has a team of professionals that will create your book from each phase of publishing with creative non-fiction being our specialty.

Mamie Books will offer you several options and have a specialized team for your personal needs.

Each step is lined out for you to the end where your book becomes a reality. Costs vary depending on the depth of what is required, research needed and what you provide.

Confused about writing Your Own Book

Mamie Books

Greetings My Fellow Authors!

Have you had a dream to write your books but never found the time or were too busy? Maybe you have a manuscript started but find it sits in a drawer for years at a time. It is what happens to so many trying to write their books.

My name is Mamie, and along with my husband, Doug, we bring to you, Mamie Books. Collectively we bring to you more than 150 years of experience. WOW! That even shocked me! However, the truth is we have all loved every moment we have had our hands on a book, creating it from conception, researching data, designing and at times cursing it. However, we have in the end loved each task we take on. Finding my team was difficult as we tend to be a perfectionist and we were not willing to accept less from our team. Each one of us has the same belief that we do our best the first time around. We will not allow ourselves to do re-writes because of laziness, nor entertain attitudes that anything is just good enough.

Our goals and mission are to produce, create and deliver a book for you that you can be proud of claiming. While you attend book events, you will be confident we have provided you with a quality book that you too have been a part of creating. You will participate in its development, and approve of each chapter as it develops. Currently, we are only accepting nonfiction assignments, but review every idea before we agree to take a job.

Our graphic arts designer can turn your book into everything you dream about having the skills to create for you a unique cover. He prefers to create your style not using templates but using his naturally talented efforts for an excellent outcome. Why look like every other book on the market with a template? His attitude: Create your dreams, but do not consider copying another person's reality. My last book before making a complete commitment to ghostwriting was co-authored with a good friend, Author Martha Char Love, and my husband, Doug Adkins. It was intoxicating yet satisfying on every level. Maggie’s Kitchen Tails: Dog Treat Recipes and Puppy Tales To Love, was inspired by my service dog who began life sick from the effects of extreme abuse. However, this book taught us that no matter what your skill levels are, with heart and desire anything can be accomplished. It taught us the importance of research and making sure mistakes were at a minimum. Three skill levels all working together each with their own experience. Teamed with graphic arts designer, Duncan Fyffe, we created a fantastic book that we have never seen anything like it since.

Our editors and proofreaders each have over 30 plus years experience in writing, executing and proofreading many types of books, blogs or documents. Our software also aids us with high tech editing as well as design. Even better than programs, our team members love what they do.

Don’t let your dream get pushed to the sidelines…dreams do come true at Mamie Books. We offer a few programs one of which should work for you.

We all welcome you to Mamie Books!

Mamie, Doug, Chris, and Duncan

Hello, my name is Mamie. I have been writing from the young age of 11, but when I was growing up, my mother used to tell me only a lazy girl/woman would spend their time writing because no woman would ever succeed in a man's world. So, she destroyed everything I ever wrote from poetry to short stories. In secret, I wrote any way I could…just stubborn I suppose.

However, she did me a favor as now I find life a challenge and determined to meet or beat it on my terms and I always complete and love what I take on. When I became brave enough to publish for readers commercially, I wrote and published my first book nine years ago about Ireland and boy have I learned a lot about every phase of writing since including how to become far better than my first attempt. Suddenly, when writing for readers rather than myself, I allowed it to intimidate me but no longer! My 2nd book, Reflections of Mamie: A Story of Survival, is about my life but it took me over sixteen years to write as I had no clue how to face the demons of the past. This example and many other learned experiences are why and how I began ghostwriting for which I have now ghostwritten over 23 books, and four of my own, many of which are well loved by readers like you! My last book before making a complete commitment to ghostwriting was co-authored with a good friend, Martha Char Love and my husband, Doug Adkins, which was exciting and satisfying on every level. Maggie’s Kitchen Tails: Dog Treat Recipes and Puppy Tales To Love, taught us that no matter what your skill levels are, with heart and desire anything can be accomplished. It taught us the importance of research

Currently, I live in Wyoming with my husband, Doug of 31 years but moving back to Washington to include the sea and all the incredibly beautiful trees! Wyoming offers this healing sunshine which makes you smile at every day, but the sea wins! We have one daughter who is married and lives in Colorado. We enjoy beach combing and watching the waves crash against the rocks. My only hobby is to quilt or tie blankets but my favorite past time to play with my service dog, Maggie. She gives us more pleasure than anyone could ever imagine, and when we are tired, her love soothes away the stress. Writing is my love in life, and we do it together as a family.

Howdy! My name is Doug. I was born and raised in the great state of Montana. In 1972, after turning 20 years of age, I joined the Navy. After ten (10) years I decided I was too hard headed to be told what to do and I was claustrophobic! Not great when on submarines. I loved working for the government, so I applied for and worked for a shipyard for thirty (35) years.

My experience with the shipyard was to write, executive and certify testing documents and accuracy was critical. Being creative with my writing skills for presentations, so they were both understood and followed, helped me to get my co-workers to follow procedures.

It gave me the foundation I needed when my wife, Mamie decided to get me involved with her projects of reviewing her creative stories. I enjoyed our writing together in our book, Maggie’s Kitchen Tails: Dog Treat Recipes and Puppy Tales To Love. Mamie and I co-authored our book with Martha Char Love, and I enjoyed writing small stories about our dog, Maggie. She was an inspiration as Martha’s grand puppy; Momo was for her.

However, I decided I rather enjoyed proofreading and editing the most as that’s what I had spent 35 years doing in my profession which gave me the experience I needed to keep up with the many ghostwriting books Mamie has written.

My wife and I reside in Wyoming where the wind, snow, and sunshine greet us daily and keeps us guessing to know which it will be. However, we love it here and have made several friends.

My hobbies are walking Maggie, my wife’s service dog and tinkering in the garage. On occasion, we enjoy beach combing. The real truth is that I have so many honey do’s, there's little time for hobbies.

Never had I thought that my retirement would only last two weeks as our journey to Ireland was the beginning of yet another job! I think I now understand why my wife wanted me to retire, but I must admit, using my skills from working at the shipyard to become her partner with Mamie Books, has been an adventure!

Chris Ambrose comes to the Mamie Books team during the time he was publishing his second book; My Boots Were Made For Walkin’…The First 3,000 Miles. Again, our graphic Arts designer came through and created a cover design with the utmost care to detail, making it attract readers by just the cover alone.

Hello, my name is Chris. I was born and raised in England where I sill live in a town named Poole. I spent 37 years of my life as an engineer with a reputation of a perfectionist about detail which did not always make me popular. However, my job was critical to those details in overseeing the planning and execution of plans and procedure, protecting the safety of hundreds of employees.

After the unexpected demise of my wife, Irene, I took up residence with my son Simon. The two of us write together and share several common interests. The two hobbies I enjoy most are walking coastlines and playing in chess tournaments.

I met Mamie a few years ago, and we became close friends in a short time sharing our mutual interest in writing and the sea. My son became close to Mamie and Doug as well, and following a visit with them in the USA, Simon and Mamie began writing together in creating their book, GenerationArk: How To Create an Enduring Legacy.

Life is fulfilling for me again because of my connections to this team, and making each day a challenge we all enjoy together. So, it makes no difference where you live. Skype, FaceTime, and the telephone keep you in touch and with our case, allows us to write together! Our clients are from all over the world, but it’s how challenges become another way to rally together making our lives complete.

When I first joined the team, I found it entertaining to tease Mamie by trying to find errors just for fun but discovered that it was gratifying to contribute my experience of proofreading/editing to produce books of quality.

Greetings All Readers and Authors! My name is Duncan, and I have been drawing and designing for as long as I can remember. It seems like I have always had a pen or pencil in my hand as a youngster, desiring to translate my thoughts, feelings, emotions, and ideas into an organized design, or work of art.

Fast forwarding to the digital age and the same can be said, though now I use a digital drawing pad and computer mouse. I offer a full range of design services and discover great pleasure in keeping up to date on the trends for design and the design philosophy. As an example, the web site used to only be an information highway and only essential. Now, creative design and the new design philosophies make it possible for anything to include adding music, sound, and movement which are now all possible.

Graphic design for me is relaxing and exciting. I love taking my own or someone else’s idea and bringing it to life either digitally, or in print. Creativity allows me to transform dreams into reality. In addition to book covers, I offer bookmark designs, sales pamphlets, letterheads, innovative web sites or any promotional aid you need to promote your book.

On a personal note, I have a wife and daughter (3-year-old), and they are my world. We enjoy traveling, kayaking, preparing meals together and experiencing new adventures. It’s a delicate balancing act between work and my family, but my wife supports my love of the arts but also knows they will always come first.

I have been working with Mamie for greater than 15 years. In her Ghostwriting, Mamie has included me on her team, and though we meet challenges, it makes life exhilarating to find ways of helping clients fulfill their dreams with publishing a book. I had the opportunity to create the covers for most of the books listed here. Maggie’s Kitchen Tails: Dog Treat Recipes and Puppy Tales To Love, GenerationArk: How To Create an Enduring Legacy, and My Boots Were Made For Walkin’: The First 3,000 Miles, all very different and our team working together created them.

I worked with Mamie and her team three years ago, and I am ready to write another book this month. I did not believe anyone could capture my voice and write the way I would, but when I received the first chapter, I was stunned. I live in the UK, and obviously, there are differences in our English, but there was no problem for Mamie writing in my voice. She was right on spot. It was exciting, challenging, rewarding and Mamie made it easy for me. She gave me assignments to complete for her information, held weekly SKYPE calls and emailed me every week with progress reports and with it, she was able to complete my award-winning book. What I liked most of all was that Mamie was not a ghostwriter that takes on several books at one time and gives you her utmost and total attention. Her team did an excellent job designing my cover with just as it was to be!

Thank you, Mamie

I met Mamie online, and she was straight forward with me on all of my inquiries. We spoke for about an hour, and I signed up with her on that afternoon. It was a great experience, and I can hardly wait to try it again. I wanted to write it myself, so she took the written material and cleaned it up so it flowed well and it stayed with the same tone as mine. I drug my feet, but Mamie stayed in touch with me even though I lived in another country and we are many hours difference in time. My book is a complete success. Thank you to the entire team.

I am writing this recommendation about the experience of working with Mamie, to show my sincerest gratitude for her hard work and passion towards her clients like myself.  I had an opportunity to work with Mamie on my first book, The Golden Lady Of Nepal, which will launch in June 2019, and Mamie helped me complete it into an extraordinary book.

It was challenging to write my first book because there are lots of things I was not aware of like the different titles for chapters and sub-titles, compelling right words, correct factual information to the proper timelines and chapters, and more. I am from Nepal, but I have never had a problem with language while working with Mamie, and she was a blessing for me.

She is a very passionate, dedicated, hardworking personality type of person. Sometimes, I used to get confused, so I had to ask the same questions two or three times, but she never showed attitude. Instead, she explained it until I understood. She is magnificent on following up as well. Mamie even helped me with getting more and better information by researching to fill in details needed for which I was not aware of how to do.

I have no words to explain how much I appreciated the fantastic job she has done to complete my book, and I felt very comfortable working with her. So, I want to strongly recommend to others that if you have the opportunity to work with this great award winning Author, be sure that you do. If you're going to write it yourself or need help to compile your book, you can find many ordinary authors for that, but If you are looking to write a great book which is more than a regular book, then please allow yourself to work with Mamie. Her passion and experience of over two decades of writing and publishing books for herself and others is her asset as well. I wish her the best of luck for her journeys ahead.

I honestly thank God for allowing me to have had the opportunity to have worked with Mrs. Mamie Adkins. She helped provide me support, ideas, and motivation when writing the first chapter of my story of survival in an incredible book featuring other writing leaders including Les Brown! My story is not one I had ever imagined sharing with a couple of people but now with so many. Mamie inspired me with her own story and her strength, and we connected on a very high level. She helped me write my chapter and provided me with the support I needed to get through it. Although we’ve walked separate paths, I feel very connected to Mamie, and as I mentioned, incredibly grateful and blessed to have met her. Mamie is incredible, her ideas are brilliant and the way she words, things work. It’s rare I meet someone with such a pure heart, I long for the day we could meet in person. I admire her strength and her ability to continue to push through the challenging roads that she’s traveled. Mamie, you’re one of my heroes, and I couldn’t be happier to have met you. Thank you, Mamie!

Finding a ghost writer is no easy task.  After a frustrating experience working with several other ghost writers we finally connected with Mamie.  When we first talked, we outlined what we were looking for and the style of writing we wanted for our book.  My writing skills are limited to technical manuals which is a very different style of writing to what we were looking for.  We needed someone that could work from miscellaneous notes, short stories and bullet points and then transform them into something exciting, motivational and fun. 

At first we were skeptical about working with another writer having had so many difficulties finding the right fit.  After a lengthy conversation, it was obvious when we first talked to Mamie that she understood our needs and shared many of the same values as ourselves.  It was also important to find someone who could accurately reflect our thoughts and objectives.  We hit it off right away with Mamie.   She clearly understood our needs and dived straight in taking over what we had started.  She provided guidance on striping out what we did not need or want, cleaning up what was already started and re-organized everything so it made sense and flowed smoothly.  Once the cleanup was completed, we were able to focus and get back on track.  We actually started having fun working together on our book with a renewed sense of purpose and focus. 

We would definitely work with Mamie again should we decide to write another book.  We had a lot fun working together and she has a wealth of knowledge we needed to get our book published.  She also provided us with the necessary contacts and suppliers to help with publishing, graphics design and promotional materials.
