How ghostwriting works when your name is on the cover
From first interview to final chapter: what a ghostwriter does, and what you stay in charge of.
Book writing and ghostwriting, in your voice
Your story, written in your voice. Ghostwriting and manuscript development for memoir, non-fiction and fiction. We do the writing with you; the book is about your life, your knowledge or your story, and it should sound like you.
Tell us what you have in mind. There's no obligation. Prefer to talk first? Call or WhatsApp (opens in a new tab).
What's included in book writing
Your story, written in your voice.
- GhostwritingWe interview you, research, outline and write the manuscript. You review each chapter. Who is credited, and who owns the finished text, is agreed in writing before we start.
- Manuscript developmentYou have a draft, or half of one, and want a writing partner. We help shape the structure, fill the gaps and bring the writing up to a publishable standard with you.
- Book planningA chapter-by-chapter outline, a clear reader and a clear promise, before a word of the manuscript is written.

Questions about book writing
Can you write my book for me?
We can help with ghostwriting, manuscript development and planning. Tell us what you have in mind through the enquiry form, and we'll talk it through.
Will the free review tell me which services I need?
It tells you where your book stands and what it needs next. If we're a good fit, we follow it with a recommended roadmap that names the services and explains why. For a detailed read with comments through the manuscript, an Alpha Reader Review is available as a separate service.
