Chet Turnbeaugh
Chet is a Chicago-based author, entrepreneur, musician, and ghostwriter. His creative strengths include ghostwritten creative nonfiction books, feature-length screenplays, long-form blog articles, web and sales page copy, online course writing, video scripts, white papers, and case studies.
Chet is a magna cum laude graduate of Wabash College where he received a full-ride academic scholarship to study Creative Writing and Philosophy. During his undergrad, Chet studied Creative Non-Fiction abroad at the University of Oxford at St. Catherine’s College, as well as Creative Production and Screenwriting at UCLA.
I can assist you in creating a cherished written work of art that will likely outlive us both. Your book is your vehicle for expressing your ideas, landing high-paying speaking gigs, securing new business deals, and sharing your expertise with the world. Over the years, I have been extremely lucky to write for some inspired people.
As a ghost, I’ve transformed from a 29-year-old creative into the following roles: a celebrated southern California real estate tycoon, a former politician sharing the effects of the modern political machine, a digital marketing maverick who transforms average Joes into celebrities, a female serial entrepreneur whose built enough 7-figure businesses to count on two hands, a promising Hollywood star turned crystal meth addict, a NYC club owner with more tattoos than a tiger has stripes, and the list goes on. I love telling stories that are meant to inspire and change the world such as writing for: phenomenal nonprofits, spiritual practitioners, heart-centered entrepreneurs, LGBTQ+ advocates, and innovative startups. Everyday, I meet people with stories that are almost too good to be true, but haven’t been told--because they needed a ghostwriter.

I would recommend Chet for any writer who is stuck, stumbling, or overwhelmed in their writing process.”
