Ghostwriting

FAQs

How do I know if this service is right for me?

This service is right for those who:

have an assortment of notes for a great book, but don't know what to do with them
have little time, energy, or interest to finish their book on their own
are not writers but want to produce a book that supports their business or leverages their celebrity
can’t see what’s needed to revise their ego-satisfying first draft into a reader-resonant manuscript
have received a developmental edit (or two, or three, who’s counting?), but lack the skills to execute the feedback

How much does ghostwriting cost?

Starting at $30,000 USD, split into flexible monthly payments

How long does it take?

About 8–12 months, depending on complexity

Will my book be ready to publish after this service?

Pretty much! My process covers all the bases so you can pitch or publish your book with confidence.

How many ghostwriting clients do you take on at once?

Right now, just one at a time! Ghostwriting is intense work, so for the best care of your book (and the sake of my sanity!), my time and energy will be devoted to you alone.

Who owns the rights to my book?

You, you, and only you! I'm called a ghost for a reason.

You have a story you want to tell, insights and wisdom you want to share, and a burning desire to express your ideas in an authentic way. But when you sit down to put words on the page, you realize writing is much harder and more time-consuming than you thought, and Chat GPT and other generative AI models are not exactly hitting the mark. I totally get you! But I urge you to not let a lack of writing skills, time, or energy deter you. The world needs your ideas and your creative spirit, and luckily, there are resources available to help. I'm one such resource!

As your ghostwriter, my job is to get to know the heart of your message and intent so I can help you say what you want to say the way you want to say it with as little overwhelm as possible. With the information gleaned from many open and honest conversations, a deep dive into your existing content (blogs, podcasts, videos, etc.), and my own research, I’ll do the heavy lifting of translating your ideas and expertise onto the page in a voice that sounds just like you. All you'll need to do is sit back, relax, and invite me into your world.

How It Works:

We'll begin by hopping on a free 30-minute intro call to talk all about your book and vision. If we're a good fit, we'll sign a service agreement and get started with the following loose timeline:

Months 1 & 2: We'll have a series of open conversations (about 60–90 minutes each), I'll conduct my own research, and we'll collaborate to develop a detailed book outline.

Months 3–6: Using the information from our calls, I’ll ghostwrite your book chapter by chapter, sharing my questions and prompts as they come up and giving you the opportunity to revise in whatever way makes the most sense for you (via email, video call, or directly in the document).

Month 7: I'll send the ghostwritten manuscript to a maximum of three vetted beta readers in your genre to get additional feedback, then you and I will revise as necessary.

Months 8+: Finally, the completed manuscript will be line and copy edited, and I'll send you on your way with: 1) a sample query letter and a list of agents and indie publishers that are accepting titles in your genre or 2) a comprehensive self-publishing checklist.
