Fiction Writer & Ghostwriter
Favour Atayero
Commercial fiction, written to be read in one sitting.
I help authors and publishing clients turn strong ideas into addictive, character-driven commercial fiction — full manuscripts, rewrites, and everything in between.
About
Eight years, three genres, one job: make the story work.
I'm a fiction writer and ghostwriter with eight years of experience building commercial stories for authors and publishing clients — full manuscripts, rewrites, outlines, and the scenes that need one more pass before they're ready.
My work sits mostly in contemporary romance, romantic comedy, and cozy mystery: genres that live or die on chemistry, timing, and whether the reader actually wants to keep spending time with your characters. I build dialogue that sounds like people talking, structure that keeps pages turning, and endings that pay off what the first act promised.
Most of what I write happens under someone else's name, and that's the job. I'm good at disappearing into a voice that isn't mine — matching tone, pacing, and personality until the manuscript reads like it was always yours.

How I Work
A process built around your voice, not mine
Discovery
We talk through the project — genre, scope, voice, timeline, and budget — so we're both clear on what we're building before anything gets written.
Story Development
Concept, characters, and structure get mapped out first. For ghostwriting and full manuscripts, this usually means an outline you approve before drafting starts.
Writing
I draft in agreed sections so you're seeing progress along the way, not waiting months for a single delivery.
Revisions
Structured rounds of feedback and revision, so the manuscript keeps getting closer to what you had in mind.
Final Delivery
A finished manuscript, formatted and ready for your next step — submission, publishing, or your own further edits.
