Testimonials
Anthony has been key to developing my writing career. He has been, and continues to be, a mentor, a trusted intellectual mind that holds thoughts and words with care and insight. Yet he sees, not merely the written text, but the soul and spirit that is behind every passage that emerges from a writers deepest parts....His attention to detail, his vast vocabulary, his eye for the tiniest elements of structure, character, even grammar and punctuation leave no stone unturned in his quest to deliver perfection to a client. He makes me look good! I have been working with Dr Shaker for about two years and will continue to work with him, if he will, on many projects to come.

I lived through the events described in my first two books, but you brought everything back to life in a way that makes me tear! During WWII, I was the youngest resistance commander in Nazi-occupied Greece, and didn't expect to make it...From an old man to a good friend, who might just as well have fought the occupation with me, please accept my heartfelt thanks for all your work.

Welcome to AFS Wordstead |
AFS Wordstead is your mainstay for successful ghost writing. You won’t find many other writers on the Web who can wed quality to affordability. And let’s be frank: mediocrity is too expensive at any price.
You may consider writing a drudgery, but I really love my craft! Moreover, with AFS Wordstead your inspiration and needs come first.

Finding the Right Editorial Support
To many people who seek my help, it’s a genuine mystery how a ghost writer can enter a client’s mind and express what that client wishes to say, only more effectively.
Well, it really takes talent to listen, pick out an authentic voice, and then breathe life into written words. Only the most skilled wordsmiths can weave personality, purpose and language into effective content. |
People Like Yourself
My clients are housewives and business leaders, nurses and bomb victims, marketers and professionals, politicians and doctors, police officers and ex-cons, army and special-forces guys. I've had the privilege to work with them all
They have a visceral need to:
- Tell their life story or some unusual episode in their life.
- Recount their business/professional experience.
- Promote their goods/services.
- Narrate an irresistible tale they happened to make up.
Why am I so gushing about them? Because those folks have passion. They are hopeful, ambitious, abused, faithful or just incurably romantic. Something moves them inside. My luck is to be able to tell what they couldn't on their own.
What I Offer
At some point you need to make a choice: either cut corners with some amateur or fly-by-night ghostwriting service editing service with the lowest possible bid, or plan for success.
I realize how much your project means to you, but also that you don't have an unlimited budget. Therefore, I will design a project that best fits your goals, cost expectations...and yes, personality. Only a dyed-in-the-wool writing professtional can pull this off!
"Just think—all you need is your inspiration. I do the rest."
That's all it takes to ghost write or edit outstanding content. Let a world-class writing consultant lift your voice to a grace and clarity you won't easily find anywhere else.
If you have a voice, I will find it—even if the only other thing you’ve got is an inspiration. And I’ll do it with an eye on marketability, too.
