I’m Jennifer Obidike—at heart, a nomad; in practice an American who's been living in London for more than a decade. Reading and writing have always been a crucial part of my identity. When writing friends wouldn’t let me hear the end of how useful my feedback was, I decided to start Let Me Read for You in 2018. I have a Master's degree in Creative Writing from the New School, and a Bachelor's degree in English Literature and Women's Studies from the University of Michigan.
As a ghostwriter and co-writer, I’ve worked with major publishing houses including Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, and Bonnier to bring to life the stories of household names. My latest book, Calling Una Marson: The Extraordinary Life of a Forgotten Icon co-written with June Saprong was published in February 2025. I also periodically offer manuscript assessments through The Literary Consultancy.
In terms of what I engage with as a structural editor, manuscript assessor and writing coach, I love reading literary fiction for the pure escape of delving into the lives of unique characters. I’m a sucker for lyrical writing, dark humour, and character-driven narratives. In terms of non-fiction, I love reading memoir and ghostwrite memoirs for household names.
Across both genres – literary fiction and non-fiction – I love working with writing that is bold, intimate, heart-breaking, open-minded, brave, and beautifully written. I also love all things spiritual and metaphysical. So, if you’re interested in working with a writing coach or want a manuscript assessed or edited, please keep these things in mind.
Connecting with people 1-on-1 and fostering meaningful relationships is a big deal to me, so whether I’m ghostwriting, coaching, or editing, this is the thread that runs through all my work. When deciding to work with clients, I lean on intuition, a sense of mutual excitement, the client’s passion, and the strength of their ideas, writing style, and storyline.
