New hat
Ghosts of Christmas past. High Street in Cardiff, Wales, 2008
There's nothing quite like wonderful words from a client, esp one I admire & respect so much. This project has been exceptional; I feel so gratified to work with the best and brightest.
I'm a reluctant poster of this kind of shameless self-promotion, but I couldn't let this one pass by!
The adventure continues. Vegan pumpkin pie from the whole damn pumpkin! Just had a taste, and was tremendous, much better than I had figured if would be. Creamy, dense, not too sweet, no coconut milk, and my perfect secret spice recipe. OK, the crust is a cheat... Want my recipe, hit me up
If you're a fan of late 60s rock & roll, take a minute today to remember The White Album. 57 years old. 1968 was a very good year in some ways
Bummer. Harvard just let me know that my data may have been compromised in a recent hack of their alumni database. This is the sixth breach notification I've received in 2025. When will it end?
Busy week...
About 24,000 words written and another 21,000 line edited. Four discovery calls, three regular client meetings, two contracts drafted, 1 signed (the other will be), two client publishing celebrations, 1 Mastermind meeting, and a few hours spent updating SM profiles, including here.
2025βs been wordy
2M+ words edited (22 projects, 17 booksβ4 out, 3 more dropping soon).
250K+ words ghostwritten: family saga, trans memoir, New Age nonfiction, language recovery book.
75K+ words of my own
2026βs shaping up. Got a book or big idea that needs words? Letβs talk.
The good old days. I surely do miss that hat.
Its a GyΓΆrgy KurtΓ‘g kinda day. I'm thinking Kafka Fragments.
When I bake my masterpiece πΆ (with apologies to Dylan, The Band, et al.)
Happy Halloween everyone! I'm drinking up gourd vibrations (with apologies to the Beach Boys).
Looking forward to all the ghouls and goblins and princesses and parents who will be visiting tonight for a wonderful scare!
Little known, highly unpublished fact: Today is the Ghostwriters National Holiday, also known as Halloween. We get together in our covens and secret laboratories and we celebrate the hard, wonderful work of bringing others' lives to life!

For 2+ decades, I've been ghostwriting for a huge variety of clients. From textbooks to graphic novels, political memoir to law enforcement investigations manuals, popular nonfiction to speculative fiction...I recently tallied my projects: Over 100 and counting.
What can I do for you?
DIggin' through the archives, came up with a peach of a piece I wrote back in the long ago. Find it on Substack: scottcatey.substack.com/p/tom-waits-...
Updated today. Finally getting my ducks in a row. Or ravens, as it were.

Apparently, the new superfood: #kimchi. Here's my homemade version that is, er, a super food, to die for, as it were. And hotter than Hades.
Always a good day for Robert Plant. Digging into the archives from some favorite listening
50 years ago today. Still the finest rock and roll band on the face of God's green earth.
Ghostwriting a wonderful memoir today for an amazing DC-based performing artist. This story matters, and I'm so happy to be helping to tell it.
Got a book in you? Contact me and let's talk about getting your story in print.

Experimental writing. Damn fun. Wrote up a few thoughts over on LinkedIn. www.linkedin.com/posts/scottc...
My current ghostwriting project is a load of fun, but damn if the hook hasn't been ridiculously elusive. Then BAM, it all came into focus yesterday.
The project is a bit Fritjof Capra, a bit Esther Hicks, a bit Lao Tzu, focused on a kind of practical mysticism. Now putting the puzzle together...!
So these two were in my backyard this week, looking for a little shade during the heat dome...
