Everett De Morier is an award-winning author, screenwriter, and ghostwriter whose work spans true crime, memoir, fiction, screenwriting, and narrative nonfiction.
He is one of the top-ranked ghostwriters on Reedsy, a highly selective publishing platform that accepts approximately three percent of the writers and publishing professionals who apply. Through Reedsy and private collaborations, De Morier has worked with clients on full-length books, book proposals, screenplays, and other narrative projects, often involving complex, highly personal, or confidential material.
His ghostwriting work has included true-crime investigations, memoirs, business and professional stories, family histories, and projects involving extensive interviews, court records, archival material, photographs, correspondence, and other primary-source documentation. Several of these projects have also intersected with film, television, and documentary development.
De Morier brings to that work more than thirty years of professional writing experience and the perspective of an author whose own books have successfully crossed from publishing into film and television.
His novel Thirty-three Cecils won the top fiction prize at the London Book Festival and was named Book of the Year by Heroic Magazine. The novel has subsequently been adopted for classroom and college reading and is being developed as a feature film. Its connection to Binghamton, New York, also inspired the creation of Thirty-three Cecils Day, an annual celebration officially recognized by the city.
His work in true crime includes In the Ghost Shadows: The Untold Story of Chinatown’s Most Powerful Crime Boss, written with Peter Chin. The book received nominations for both the Edgar Award in the United States and the Dagger Award in the United Kingdom and is in development as a docudrama with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s G-Unit Productions.
De Morier is also the author of The Spider King: The Most Notorious Criminal Mastermind You’ve Never Heard Of, published by Skyhorse Publishing. Before publication, the project attracted separate scripted and documentary development deals, extending the story beyond the book into film and television.
Across his own books and the projects he develops for others, De Morier’s work is centered on the same fundamental process: finding the story inside a much larger body of experience.
For De Morier, that is the heart of ghostwriting: the finished book may carry someone else’s name and tell someone else’s story, but it should possess the structure, depth, and narrative discipline of any professionally written book.
