Book ghostwriting

Have the Story. We’ll Help You Write the Book.

Ghostwriting for authors, entrepreneurs, professionals and people with a story that deserves to be told properly.

Start with whatever you have

Ghostwriting does not require a manuscript. It requires you and your material. Most projects begin with some combination of the following.

  • An idea and a sense of who the book is for
  • Voice notes recorded on your phone
  • Interviews with our writer, in person or online
  • Notes, journals, letters or emails
  • Research, reports and reference material
  • Unfinished chapters or abandoned drafts
  • An existing manuscript that needs a rewrite

The ghostwriting process

Eight stages, each with a point where you review and decide.

01

Discovery consultation

A confidential conversation about the idea, the reader, the purpose and the material you already have.

02

Concept and structure

We agree the book's argument or arc, its scope and its intended length.

03

Voice development

Sample passages establish tone, rhythm and vocabulary before full drafting begins.

04

Chapter outline

A chapter-by-chapter plan you approve, so nothing is written that has not been discussed.

05

Drafting

Chapters delivered in batches, drawing on interviews, notes and your feedback.

06

Author review

You read, correct and comment. Where the voice drifts, we bring it back.

07

Revisions

Structured revision rounds until the manuscript reads the way you intend.

08

Final manuscript

A clean manuscript, ready for editing, design and publishing.

“Will it still sound like me?”

Yes. The process exists to make sure of it.

A ghostwriter's job is not to impose a style; it is to find yours and hold it steady across eighty thousand words. That starts with interviews, voice notes and existing writing, continues through sample passages you approve, and is checked at every review round. If a chapter does not sound like you, it changes.

Your opinions stay your opinions. Your stories stay your stories. The writer supplies structure, craft and the discipline of finishing.

Confidentiality

Discretion is a condition of the work, not an optional extra.

Ghostwriting is confidential by nature. Your writer's involvement is not disclosed, your material is not shared beyond the team working on your book, and confidentiality terms are included in the agreement. Non-disclosure agreements are available where a project requires them.

You are credited as the author, because you are.

  • Your name on the cover; the writer stays behind it
  • Material shared only with the assigned team
  • Confidentiality written into every agreement
  • NDA available on request
  • Files stored securely and returned or deleted at your request

Common questions

How does ghostwriting work?

A ghostwriter writes your book with you. You provide the ideas, experience and material through interviews, notes and reviews; the writer provides structure, drafting and craft. You approve the outline, each batch of chapters and the final manuscript, and the book is published under your name.

How long does a ghostwritten book take?

It depends on length, the amount of existing material and how quickly review rounds turn around. Most full-length books take several months from discovery to final manuscript. Your quote will include a realistic timeline.

Is ghostwriting ethical?

Ghostwriting is a long-established professional practice used across memoir, business, politics and public life. The ideas, experiences and decisions in the book are yours; the writer's contribution is craft. Our agreement sets out the arrangement clearly.

Can the ghostwriter also handle editing and publishing?

Yes. Ghostwriting sits within a complete service, so the same team can carry the manuscript through editing, design, formatting, publishing setup and marketing if you want it to.
