Who is the Business Ghost?

My name is Martin Gladdish, and I’m actually more of a daydreaming storyteller than a ghostly figure. I’ve been a freelance writer for over 15 years and spent the previous 20 as a lazy optimist; trying to escape various semi-successful careers in retail management and sales.

I proudly (and childlike excitedly) published my first book, The Lazy Optimist, in 2013. And I am now the pen behind dozens of business stories (under my own name and others) in subjects as diverse as coaching, translation, public speaking, forex trading, automation, marketing and website building.

Away from my pen, prose and poetic tendencies: I am a deep-thinking, clean-living, God-fearing, nature-loving, book-reading husband, friend and part-time magician.

The newly assembled Business Ghost Team

My extensive experience working with many clients and witnessing their frustrations in navigating the Bookplan to Published journey led to me handpicking my of, in my opinion, ‘best in class’ professionals.

Each is an experienced expert in their field, and although all independent business owners, they have joined me to form this happy consortium to provide you with a seamless, professional, personal, full attention service… from start to finish. They will project manage, edit, design, publish, proofread, market and guide your book through its entire journey.
