Book Ghostwriting

You have the story. We have the writers who can put it on the page in your voice — not ours.

Overview

Book Ghostwriting

Most people who want to write a book never finish one. Not for lack of a story, but because drafting 70,000 words around a working life is genuinely hard. Our ghostwriters do the writing while you stay the author: your ideas, your voice, your name on the cover, and full ownership of everything produced.

What's Included

Everything in this service

Discovery interviews

We record structured conversations to capture how you actually speak, then write to match it.

Chapter-by-chapter drafting

You review as we go, so nothing drifts far from what you intended.

Voice matching

Draft pages are checked against your writing samples and transcripts before they move on.

Structural editing

Pacing, argument and chapter order are shaped as the manuscript grows.

Unlimited revisions

We keep refining until the manuscript meets your benchmark, not ours.

Full rights and royalties

You own the manuscript outright and keep 100% of what it earns.

How It Works

Questions

Ghostwriting FAQs

Yours. Ghostwriting means we write it and you author it. Our name appears nowhere unless you want it to.

Typically ten to sixteen weeks for a 60,000–80,000 word book, depending on how quickly reviews come back.

That usually shortens the process. We assess what exists, keep what works, and write the rest around it.

A few hours of interviews up front, then roughly an hour per chapter to review. Less than most people expect.
