It’s when a professional writer creates written content on behalf of another person (you!) but does not receive any formal credit for the work. Many books are ghostwritten, but you'll never know which ones. Successful people tend to be busy, so there’s little time left over for them to draft an entire manuscript. Luckily, there are ghostwriters who have the skill and desire to do that writing. And we don’t care about our name being on the work!

You might wonder, Shouldn’t I write my own book? If you have the expertise, the time, and the desire to do so…then yeah, you probably should. But most people who want to publish a book don't. My life’s work is to bring stories alive, so I have the skill and desire to complete these projects successfully.

It begins with you and what you’re looking for. Once I understand your goals, we can discuss what a project together would look like. If it seems like a good fit for both of us, I’ll offer you a quote and then craft a document that outlines the project in plain language. We’ll review it together, and when we’re both happy with the terms, I’ll formalize the document into a contract. That’s when the work begins!

You own the work, and you get the credit. We can sign an NDA depending on our exact situation.

The timeline and cost depend on the scope of the project. For most book-length projects, you can expect the process to take around six to eight months, with the investment generally falling in the low-to-mid five-figure range. Shorter projects, like articles, essays, or eBooks will take less time and are priced accordingly.

Once we connect and I learn more about your needs, I’ll offer you a quote.

As is the case with any book you’re attempting to publish in your name, nothing is ever guaranteed and the process will be up to you. If you want to go the route of traditional publishing in print, I recommend finding a literary agent. If you’re looking to self-publish, you might not need one. While I’m happy to point you in the right direction once the project is complete, my expertise is writing, not publishing. There are other experts you ought to work with for that.

With my easygoing personality and absolute dedication to my craft, I can go with the flow as well as speak up and advocate for the work when needed. I love to write, and I have the skills to craft a cohesive, polished manuscript in your voice. With my preference for quick and clear communication, you’ll never be left hanging or guessing with me.

Once we meet, I’ll offer you a quote that includes a price and timeline.

If you accept the quote, I’ll craft a Statement of Work, which details specific expectations for what writing will be produced, by when, with what level of revision or edits, and more.

The contract is a formalized version of the same information that we’ll both sign before work commences, and an NDA is a Non-Disclosure Agreement that will be needed if you want me to be a true ghost.
