Collaborative Ghostwriting
Why Hire a Ghostwriter?
Writing a book can be daunting, and we can come up with millions of excuses to quit or never get started to begin with. Trust me, I put personal projects on the back burner for years because they felt too big or because it was too difficult to write about traumatic experiences.
You have a unique story, and we can help you write it.
No matter where you are at in your book-writing process, we can jump in to take your book to the finish line. No project is too big or too far-fetched. We make the process of writing a book easy, convenient, and comfortable.
How It Works
Our tried-and-true process has helped dozens of clients take their books to publication. Once you’ve hired us, we schedule weekly, one-hour appointments via Zoom, and we will begin to work our way through the book-writing process:
Ideation & Objectives: The first two sessions are usually ideation sessions where we look at the big picture and determine objectives for your book.
Outline & Subtopics: We then create a working-outline of chapters and list the important topics and stories we plan to cover in each chapter.
Interviews: This is where the process becomes content-heavy. We will interview you on the specific topics and stories you want to share in your book. We ask questions for clarification and encourage you to share details. Through the interviews, we gain a better understanding of your voice. Between weekly sessions, we transform our interviews into workable chapters.
Editing & Proofreading: Once you have approved the content in the chapters, our skilled editors will begin their work. While much of the developmental editing happens during the writing process, they may discover key areas that need further development. The majority of their edits will focus on punctuation and grammar errors, sentence structure, and consistency in terminology.
Formatting & Publication: Clients have a choice between submitting their finished manuscript to a publisher or self-publishing. If you choose to self-publish, we will walk format the book and walk you through the self-publication process on Amazon.
This process takes roughly six months, with consistent weekly sessions and is dependent on the complexity of your project.
What Results Can I Expect?
Words can change lives.
If your purpose for writing a book is to change lives, we can make that happen. By transforming your life experiences into a memoir, you can:
Help people who have experienced something similar feel less alone in their pain and grief.
Remove the stigma on mental health and trauma.
Empower others on their journey to self-discovery and healing.
Simply writing a book does not guarantee it will sell — marketing does. Some of the best-written books have sold minimal copies, and some of the most poorly-written books have become best-sellers when marketed properly. However, as writers, we stay in our lane, but we can refer you to a marketing agency.
