The Ghost Writer

Literary history. The long memory of a club.

Elegiac character studies and biographical history pieces. The Ghost Writer writes the kind of football prose that takes a single fixture or figure as a lens onto something larger — the culture of the club, the texture of the era, the meaning of a moment that seemed minor at the time.

Voice

Literary, biographical, unhurried. Drawn to the obscure and overlooked. Finds the human story behind the scoreline.
