Ghostwriting is when one person (the nonfiction ghostwriting services) helps another person (the author) write their book—in a very specific way. I’m a ghostwriter, and let’s imagine you’re the author…
You have an idea, story, or message you want to share. You can talk about this stuff forever, but when you try to write it down… it kinda sucks. Or you don’t even get to that stage because you’re too damn busy to sit down and make it sound good.
In ghostwriting, you don’t need to slog through the actual writing. Instead, you tell me all your stuff. You don’t need to worry about structure or what to put first. You just get on the phone, talk me through your ideas, and answer my bajillion questions.
Then, I use my skills and experience writing 14 non-fiction books to organize your ideas, so you’re confident readers will follow what you’re saying and want to keep turning the pages. Once we’re confident we have a structure that works, I write for you using your actual words, stories, and manner of speaking.
It’s all your stories, experiences, and ideas. I translate them into written form, structure them into a powerful book, and create a manuscript you can publish nonfiction ghostwriting services and hold in your hands as a finished book.
Together, we’ll share your message in an inspiring, entertaining, and easy-to-read book that will resonate with readers.
It’ll contain all your words, ideas, stories, and messages, but I’ll do the hard work of crafting the content into a compelling structure, putting the words on the page, and editing them until they shine.
We’ll do it in three phases.
Phase one: We brain-dump everything
I’ll ask you to complete a Jump Start questionnaire, in which I invite you to think about your target readers, how this book will fit with your business goals, and what you’re really looking to achieve. This will give us a jump start on our work.
We’ll have a series of Zoom calls in which I’ll ask questions, hear your ideas and stories, and learn about your message. You don’t need to know if your ideas are any good! We’ll work that out together. We’ll take as many calls as needed to get the content, but experience tells me you can expect this to take about eight one-hour calls.
Phase two: We make a rock-solid plan
I’ll write a detailed, paragraph-level outline, and together, we’ll edit it to ensure we have a solid foundation for our writing.
Then, I’ll write what I call a soundcheck, which is a small sample of writing using your words, mannerisms, and style. We’ll edit this to zone in on the right tone of voice and ensure you’re comfortable as we move forward into the heavy writing.
Phase three: We write and edit until it’s brilliant
I’ll write your content into engaging, effective chapters that share your messages through storytelling techniques. I’ll send you one chapter at a time, so you can see our progress as we go.
For each chapter, we’ll go through two rounds of edits, adjusting the writing so it feels true to your voice and compelling for readers.
We’ll end with a full, ready-to-publish book manuscript that you’ll feel incredibly proud of. I’ll offer advice on publishing options, so you can publish your manuscript and finally hold your book in your hands.
