about the ghost

Hello! I’m Mark J. Judge (any pronouns), a writer and an artist. I have written in a variety of forms, including novels and short stories, prose & poetry, screenplays and musicals, and many more. I also hold a bachelor’s degree in Theatre Studies, and have years of experience acting and directing on both stage and screen.

Now, I am using this unique blend of skills to help YOU write whatever you may need. Ghost writing is all about taking your ideas and perspective, and providing you with the help necessary to let those ideas take shape.

With my background in dramatic writing and performance, I’ll be able to inhabit your perspective after a brief consultation meeting, and make the finished product sound like YOU. And, with my experience in a wide variety of forms, there’s hardly a writing style under the sun I won’t be able to navigate with ease.

Is your friend expecting a killer speech at their wedding, but you have no idea where to start? Have your colleagues told you the benefits of starting a blog for your business, but you can’t bring yourself to do it?

Do you know WHAT you want to say, but not HOW to say it?

In any case, my services might be right for you!

services

  • Need to make a bio for your website, or sell your audience on a new service or product? Let me organize your ideas and help you stand out from the noise.

  • Whether you’re a committee member, a concerned citizen, a Maid of Honor, or anything in between, we could all benefit from a clear, confident, pre-written speech from time to time. I’ll consult with you to learn the story you want to tell, and I’ll get to work helping you tell it.

  • Want to spend more time focusing on your business, and less time talking about it online? I’ve got you covered. Whatever you need to tell your story and build your brand, I’ll put it together and make sure it’s something the search engines will catch.

  • Want to add some bohemian flair to your event? I’ll come to your party, banquet, marketplace, or more with my typewriter, and I’ll make short letters and poems, each personalized to a guest’s request.

what others have said

“Mark rocks! All it took was one quick consultation, and they wrote an amazing blog post for my wedding videography business. They even did enough research to include details I didn't know! Their work has already helped so much, and I'd recommend them to anybody.”

— Ray Replogle of Replogle Studios

“All of the built-up nerves about my maid of honor speech went away when Mark showed me their first draft. They were able to take my MANY jumbled up bullet points and create something that flowed (and sounded like me!) When I finally gave the speech at the reception, it was compliments galore- and most importantly, happy tears from the bride herself. That would’ve been immeasurably harder to achieve without Mark’s help!”

— Jules, Maid of Honor speech client

“We love you. Let us know if you run out of money.”

— my mom
