Let Me Read For You

About

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'm represented by Kate Evans at Peters Fraser & Dunlop for my ghostwriting and cowriting work. I’ve worked with major publishing houses (Penguin, HarperCollins, Bonnier, etc.) to bring to life the stories of household names. My latest book, Calling Una Marson: The Extraordinary Life of a Forgotten Icon cowritten with June Saprong will be out in February 2025. I also offer manuscript assessments through The Literary Consultancy.

For the past several years, I’ve worked with amazing women, all with different stories to tell. They’ve come from varied backgrounds, from Polish, Turkish, Dutch & Thai, to Filipino, Somali, and Chinese. As someone who was born in Houston, Texas and accustomed to a melting pot of cultures, it’s been a pleasure working to instill a sense of confidence, purpose and support to women of diverse experiences.

In terms of what I engage with as an editor and book 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, character-driven narratives, or a powerful love story. I also love reading memoir which comes from being asked to ghostwrite my first book in 2019.

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 book 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.
