A tour de force by the former President/Board Member of Toys “R” Us.

Ghostwriting/editing memoirs for business executives, thought leaders and other trail blazers is my specialty.

During the course of my writing career, I have worked successfully with CEOs and other top business professionals, entrepreneurs, inventors, motivational speakers, professors, physicians – even with the butler who attended Princess Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Fayed on the night they died. Here’s what Bruce Krysiak, former COO/Board Member of Toys “R” Us, said about my ghostwriting process:

For years I thought about writing a book as a way to pass along certain life lessons and create some sort of legacy, but always held back because it seemed too complicated and I didn’t know where to start. Then I met Barry Fox, a ghostwriter who proved to have a tremendous ability to convert my words, thoughts and stories into a well-structured, thoughtful, insightful book.

After listening to my intentions and concerns, Barry helped me create a format for the book that gave a logical flow and sensibility to my ideas. I was impressed by his ability to challenge me creatively and sharpen my focus. He also helped me explore and express the personal side of my thoughts and experiences in ways that truly brought the book to life.

Working with Barry became a journey of self-discovery, resulting in a much better book than I ever could have written on my own.

You’ll find more comments from clients, editors and others on my website, www.BarryFox.us.

I’m fortunate enough to have seen my books land on the New York Times bestseller list and to have worked on books by world-famous people such as Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, as well as power players at major corporations, scientists, attorneys, physicians and “just folks.”

I love helping people explore, create and refine the ideas that become the foundations of their philosophies, life stories and/or business plans. Ghostwriting a book is a bit like mining raw ore and turning it into precious metal. It takes some exploration and digging. And it takes the ability to recognize beauty in its early form and turn it into something valuable and significant. That’s what I do – and that’s what I find most fulfilling.

Here's what some of my editors say about my work:
