Hi, My Name is Sean Platt. I’m a Ghostwriter

February 10, 2009

ghostwriterI‘ve put on my apron and swept the floor a hundred times. The walls are  now spotless and the windows wiped clean enough to kill a flock of birds. I’m ready to roll out the red carpet and open for business.

For the last six months Writer Dad has been kind of like my secret identity. It started out as an actual secret, then turned into something spread online, but otherwise mute. We are still living in a world where blog is a four letter word and “You plan to do what?” a regular question.

I’m a writer, and now it’s about time for my secret identity to get a secret identity of its own.

Writer Dad is now a mild mannered blogger by day and a super powered ghostwriter by night. Okay, I actually do both during daylight. By the time my children are sleeping I crave an LCD of a much larger size.

I’ve been working on Ghost Writer Dad for a while. It would possess a fraction of its cool if wasn’t for Dave, who not only made the site look as rad as it does, but also gave me the idea for calling it Ghost Writer Dad in the first place. This is especially awesome because:

A) I’d spent a half millennium trying to come up with a good name. Turns out, writers are a clever bunch. I’ve never had a more difficult time finding a domain. After an email thread that spilled into triple digits and had me crying like a little girl who lost her lollipop (not really), Dave said, “Hmmm… Ghost Writer Dad dot com’s not taken. Why not try that?” A quick slap to the forehead and I was off to register.

B) I stole the name Writer Dad from Dave to begin with.

Ghost Writer Dad is my new baby; an awning under which I might fertilize my future. Please, if you need any copywriting services, or know someone who does (online or off) please consider me. I’m fast on the fly and easy to work with. I’ll discuss any project you can conjure, but these are my just getting started specialties:

  • SEO web copy: SEO optimized copy that will help you get to the top of Google.
  • Custom blog posts: I write engaging content on any subject, then optimize it for search engines. Posts can be booked individually or in a package.
  • Press Releases: If you have a product or service you are ready to reveal to the world, I can help lift the curtain with style.
  • Letter Writing: One of my favorite services. With a few vital pieces of information I can compose a letter to inspire weeping (the good kind).
  • Custom Speech Writing: Similar to writing a custom letter, I take a few notes then turn them into rousing oration.
  • Editing and Revision: Sometimes we just need a second set of eyes. I can be the peepers that will help your pages pop!
  • E-Book Design: Over the last few months, designing e-books has become a bit of a hobby. I would love to design yours.

If you need any writing done, please check out my ghostwriting service. If you know anyone who might need any copywriting, please forward the link. If anyone wants to hire Dave for awesome header or button work, you’ll smile every time you see your site.

Many thanks,

Writer Dad

  • Hi Monika!

    Nice to see you. Thanks for the compliments and support. I'm definitely ready to rock and roll. Nice to see you born again on Twitter.
  • Hi Sean,

    I'm excited to see your progress and find you all around the web these days. It is just another great testimonial to your awesome abilities as a writer. Love your new site and love the domain. Rock on!

    Rita: Apologies aren't necessary for well wishes. The 25th is far enough in my past to be given no breath by my regular thought, but has not gained enough distance to rinse the fact that it was the single most negative experience I've had in six months spent online, both warping my previous impression of a particular person, and shattering my hope for something I poured a significant of time and resources into (besides being led to believe it had a future). The only emails I don't answer are the ones that tell me to stay far, far away.
  • Oh, and Sal, I am comforted in knowing that some things never change. You read something and decide you are the public arbiter of what you read. You're still an ass. :-)

  • Sean,
    My sincerest apologies. I read on Barb's site that you were "getting close to being published." I just assumed that with your innate talents that the statement was true, and I got terribly excited for you. As for October 25th, that is SO far in my past as to being as close to unmemorable as any day in my life - until you mentioned the date just now, and I realize that the REAL thing I lost that day was a very, very good friend by saying words to you out of pain and anger. I'm over the 25th - I'm not over the damaged (or, I would assume, destroyed) friendship that preceded it.

    This was my way of extending my hand in joy at what I thought was your personal triumph - and in the most public way in which I could do so. I had intended to congratulate you privately, but I was uncertain if you would respond. Now I feel like a fool.

    I AM sorry Sean - and yes, if I had to do it all over again, I most definitely would have done it differently - and better. With you. ONLY with you.

    Rita

    Sal: When you can't get ink down on the page, who you gonna call? GHOST WRITER DAD!

    Eric: Thanks, Eric. I couldn't be more excited.

    Hayden: I only sleep on Sundays. The digital smack down is laid.

    Lori: Ah, Lori. My constant cheerleader. Thanks for the support, and the alliteration.

    Janice: Don't worry, you don't need to add Ghostwriter Dad to a reader or anything. Tis just a sales page.

    Karen: Thanks, Karen. Give the boys giant hugs and tell them we miss them too!

    Rita: Hi Rita. I have no idea what you mean. I am no closer to getting published than I was on October 25. If anything, such possibility seems further away.
  • Hi Sean,
    I just learned that you are on your way to getting published, and I wanted to give you a heart-felt, honest and hearty CONGRATULATIONS! Given that I've been on hiatus, I'd be thrilled if you emailed me and let me know the details, so that I can follow your hard-won success.
    Happy days for you and Daisy - and Hallelujah!
    Best,
    Rita

    (By the way, I hope there weren't too many "H's" above. I just re-read what I wrote and had a good, old-time, "insider" chuckle... :-) )

    As I told you before, the site looks great Sean, but for some reason there is one theme song stuck in my head....

    "Who ya gonna call?....."

    Go on, you know you want to finish it, green slimy thing, marshmellow man and all. :)
