As a writer, I specialise in ghostwriting for law firms, professionals, business and thought leaders. I can’t always disclose who I ghostwrite for but I have ghostwritten for CEOs, technology startups, legal experts, financial planners and accountants. My ghostwriting has appeared in the Australian Financial Review, the Taxation Institute of Australia, Forbes, The Resolution, National Australia Bank, Maurice Blackburn, Crown Group and Salesforce.com, to name a few. My clients include Thought Leadership Partners, The Fold Legal, Pathway Lawyers & Migration Agents, MindTickle and Toro Digital.

Writing under my own personal byline covers a broad range of interests, including travel, lifestyle, food, corporate, business, science, culture and personal comment (op ed). I am also currently working on two books, an autobiography that deals with life choices, loss, grief and travel, and a semi-biographical work that looks at the migration of Indians to East Africa.

If you have an editorial, writing or partnership opportunity, please contact me at rakhee@legalwriters.com.au
