Ghostwriting, considered
The story is yours. You don’t have to write it alone.
Many people have a book in them but not the time to write it. Through conversations, notes and drafts, your ghostwriter captures how you think and speak – so the finished manuscript sounds unmistakably like you.
- A dedicated writer matched to your genre and voice
- Interviews and drafts at a pace that suits you
- Full confidentiality – your name on the cover

DRAFT CHAPTER
The Night the River Rose
The water reached the second step by nine o’clock. My father turned the sign to OPEN anyway, lit the back lamp and put the kettle on. People came – not to buy, but because his was the only light on the street. I was twelve, and I thought he was being stubborn. It took me thirty years to understand he was being kind.

Before we begin
You don’t need a finished outline.
Most clients start with an idea, a few stories or a box of notes. Bring what you have – shaping it is our job.
- A sense of what the book is about
- Notes, recordings or documents, if any
- Your ideal timeline and word count
Yes. Your writer studies how you speak and think through interviews and samples, and every draft is reviewed with you.
You are. The ghostwriter is never credited unless you choose otherwise, and confidentiality is written into our agreement.
As involved as you like. Most clients spend a few hours a month on interviews and reviewing drafts.
A typical full-length book takes four to eight months, depending on length, research and review pace.
Free consultation
Let’s start with the story you want to tell.
