Writer Vivien Cooper

Author Biographer Ghostwriter Developmental Editor Speechwriter Writing Coach

Delivering 100% human-crafted, interview-based storytelling.

I am a biographer-ghostwriter. I have been writing about people since 1999. Writing and editing with impact, authenticity, heart, depth, and insight. (And without AI.) 30+ books. Dozens of speeches and articles.
I am a natural-born biographer. I am inherently investigative, insightful, and sensitively attuned. I have a rare ability to listen deeply and get right to the heart of a story. From a young age, I was fascinated by the stories of others. I recall reading Working by Studs Terkel and feeling a kinship to him. When I lived in Nashville years before I became a professional writer, I would take a microphone and tape recorder around town and interview people. Since 1999, I have ghostwritten dozens of books for my clients: Memoirs, autobiographies, hybrid memoir/business books. I have also developmentally edited many books, and written dozens of speeches and articles. READ MORE

"Search no further. You’ve found a gift from God.”

“Vivien Cooper has a gift like no other. Her instinctual writing talent enabled her to get into my mind and heart and bring my story to life in a way that touches the soul of the reader. Search no further. You’ve found a gift from God.” Eric Caron, U.S. Special Gov’t. Agent/Diplomat (Ret.), Int'l. Security Consultant and Author of Switched On: The Heart and Mind of a Special Agent

"To me, no greater writer equals you, because you have taught me to write from my heart."

"Vivien: I have learned a lot from your skillful writing and your ability to straighten some of my twisted words. To me, no greater writer equals you, because you have taught me to write from my heart, and the words that I have scribed in this book are the songs and tears of my soul... You have worked with me very patiently and generously and nothing excites me like holding this piece of work in my hands."
Georges Budagu Makoko, Author of Ladder to the Moon’

"Your gift is unique and no AI can replace that."

"Vivien, you are an exceptional ghostwriter who breathes life into every story, crafting each word from the heart. ChatGPT can help people write, but it can never write with the heart, soul, and personal touch that you bring. Your gift is unique and no AI can replace that."

More about Vivien

(CONTINUED FROM ABOVE) Many of my book clients have experienced trauma and tragedy and emerged victorious. It is very satisfying to help my memoir clients process their trauma as they tell me their stories. I have been told by many that working with me is very therapeutic. Other clients have told stories of remarkable adventures. And some have been business people who have shared the story of their amazing and unlikely rise to prominence. All of my clients have been extraordinary. I have also authored two books under my own name (scroll down) in which I have profiled notables in the film/TV industry. And I have one spoken-word audio for kids. (To learn more about it, go to www.theinstrumentalalphabet.com.) I love to write. There is no question about it. I have an inherent gift for writing about--and for--people. I have been doing exactly that and loving it for most of my life. Yet, over the past twenty-six years of ghostwriting books and speeches for my clients, I have discovered even greater rewards than knowing I've written beautiful, powerful, moving, and inspiring books for my clients. The rewards? Giving my clients the opportunity to share their life stories, their experiences, their wisdom, their traumas, and their victories with someone who truly cares. Someone with empathy, compassion, wisdom, and insightfulness--but without judgment. Allowing people to be truly heard is so rewarding! Talking them through the phone interview process is one of my favorite parts of being a ghostwriter and speechwriter.
