Amazon Developing Series on Elite Ghostwriter

Amazon MGM Studios has secured the rights to develop a new series based on Adrienne Miller's short story, "Shadow Work." The project will be a one-hour drama.

The series will follow Genevieve Pearce, an elite ghostwriter who specializes in altering the public perception of the wealthy and notorious. Her role involves embedding herself within their lives, uncovering sensitive information, and manufacturing redemptions to present them as they wish to be seen. The narrative suggests that by controlling the stories of others, Genevieve wields significant power over reality itself.

However, her work forces her to confront a pivotal moment from her own past – the first story she ever helped to rewrite. Adrienne Miller, the story's author, is attached to write the pilot episode and will also serve as an executive producer. Marc Resteghini, a former Amazon executive, will also executive produce through his company Jack Tar Pictures.

Miller is recognized for her novel "The Coast of Akron" and her memoir "In the Land of Men," detailing her career ascent in the magazine industry. Resteghini brings experience from his tenure at Amazon and his current executive producer role on the Amazon series "Young Sherlock."
