Canadian Ghostwriter specializing in Memoirs and Nonfiction Books

I’m Tobi Nifesi, a Canadian professional nonfiction ghostwriter, author, journalist, and publishing consultant based between Vancouver, Canada, and Valencia, Spain.

For more than a decade, I’ve helped founders, executives, professionals, families, subject-matter experts, and public figures turn their stories, experiences, and expertise into books.

Some clients come to me with little more than an idea, while others have years of journals, recordings, research, or partial manuscripts but are unsure how to proceed. My job is to make sense of that material, find the strongest structure and story within it, and collaborate with you to create a professionally written manuscript that still sounds authentically like you.

I work virtually with authors and professionals across Canada, from British Columbia and Alberta to Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada. Over the years, I’ve also built partnerships with Canadian publishing professionals and organizations, including Tellwell, to ensure my clients have a clear path to market.

Ghostwriting Services Across Canada

I’m passionate about the Canadian literary world. I’ve spent more than a decade as a journalist for Canadian publications and media outlets, a ghostwriter and publishing consultant for Canadian authors and publishers, a content strategist for Canadian startups and government agencies, and a member of Canadian writing associations, such as the BC Federation of Writers, where I have led and facilitated writing circles and spaces. My contributions have earned me rankings on multiple lists as one of the top ghostwriters in Canada, and I don’t take that for granted.

I enjoyed working with Canadian authors and projects on stories that get readers thinking and having important conversations about subjects ranging from entrepreneurship and leadership to medicine, faith, grief, resilience, identity, family, and legacy. Many of the books I’ve worked on involve complicated material and sensitive topics from child abuse and deep-rooted family issues to political drama. At the end of the day, my job is to bring clarity to that complexity and make sure the words on paper resonates with the ideal readers.

My work focuses primarily on nonfiction, including memoirs and autobiographies; legacy and family-history books; business and leadership books; thought-leadership and expert nonfiction; personal-development books; narrative nonfiction; book proposals and sample chapters; manuscript development and rewriting; screenplay-to-novel and other IP adaptations; and publishing strategy and author guidance.
