Most people who hire a ghostwriter aren't short of ideas — they're short of time, or stuck on the blank page. You talk; we record, structure and write. Every chapter sounds like you, and your name is the only one on the cover.
Read samples of our ghostwritingThese are the questions we hear on almost every first call. If one of them is yours, you're in the right place.
Talking and writing use different muscles. Many successful founders, doctors and storytellers speak brilliantly and freeze at a keyboard. Ghostwriting lets you do the part you're good at — telling the story — while a professional handles structure and prose.
It should sound like you on your best day. We record every interview, keep your phrases and rhythms, and send chapters as we go so you can say "I'd never put it that way" early — not after 70,000 words.
You sign nothing until you're comfortable, and we sign an NDA before sensitive details are shared. Your writer is never named without your permission, and files are stored securely.
Because they're not the same product. Length, research, interview hours and the writer's experience drive the cost. Very cheap offers often mean recycled or AI-generated text. We explain what drives your quote and fix the price in writing.
Different books need different writers. We match you with someone who has written your kind of book before.
Your memories turned into scenes, not a list of events. We help you decide what to include, what to leave out, and how to handle family members honestly and fairly.
Best for: personal stories, family legacy books, overcoming-adversity memoirs
A book that explains your method clearly and earns trust with clients, speaking bookers and media. We turn your frameworks, case studies and talks into a structured argument.
Best for: founders, consultants, coaches, doctors, lawyers
Practical books readers can act on: clear chapters, exercises and examples, written in a warm voice that sounds like you coaching them.
Best for: coaches, therapists, trainers, educators
Bring the plot, characters and world; we write the novel. You approve the outline and a sample chapter before full drafting begins.
Best for: authors with a strong idea but limited writing time

Thirty years at Station 14
In 1998, I joined Station 14 at the age of twenty-two. My father, who had been a firefighter for thirty years, drove me to my first shift. He didn’t say much. Neither did I.
We passed the bakery on Elm Street—the one that burned down three years later—and he pointed at its chimney. “That one’s going to go one day,” he said. He was right. He usually was.
What he didn’t tell me, what nobody tells you, is that the fires are the easy part. It’s the quiet afterwards that stays with you: the kitchen table still set for breakfast, the dog waiting on the lawn, the family standing on the sidewalk in borrowed coats, watching us roll up the hoses.
A lifetime of stories, no time or appetite to write them down, and a promise to his grandchildren.
Weekly recorded calls, a timeline built from logbooks and photos, and chapters reviewed as we went so every scene sounded like him.
Excerpts shared with the author’s permission. Names and identifying details are changed to protect client confidentiality.
Choose your book type and target length to see a realistic timeline, page count and interview time.
Your time commitment is mainly the interviews (1–2 hours a week) and reading chapter drafts.
Book a confidential discovery callYour main job is to talk. Expect around one to two hours a week of interviews and chapter reviews.
A free, confidential call about your story, audience and goals. If ghostwriting isn't the right fit, we'll say so.
You meet your writer, sign the agreement and NDA, and approve a chapter-by-chapter outline before drafting starts.
Recorded sessions around your schedule. Chapters arrive every few weeks for your comments and changes.
Full-manuscript revision, then (if you want it) editing, cover and publishing — with the same team.
Professional book ghostwriting is a significant investment, and prices vary widely across the market. We'll give you a fixed quote after the discovery call — and never ask for the full fee up front.
Authors are right to be careful — the industry has plenty of companies that over-promise. Here's exactly how we work.
Your KDP, IngramSpark and ACX accounts are created in your name, so royalties are paid straight to you.
You pay in stages tied to work you have seen and approved, never the whole fee up front for large projects.
Copyright, files and ISBNs (when you buy your own) belong to you. You receive editable source files.
Anyone who guarantees bestseller status or sales is guessing. We give you honest forecasts and the reasoning behind them.
A plain-English agreement lists deliverables, revision rounds and dates, so nothing is left to memory.
We are an independent author-services team. We never claim to be Amazon, KDP or any retailer.
“I'd tried to write my memoir myself for three years and never got past chapter two. My ghostwriter had the whole thing drafted in five months, and reading it felt like reading my own diary.”
“As a CEO I had no time to write, but I needed a book to establish authority. The interviews fit my schedule and the final manuscript sounded exactly like how I talk.”
“My book touches on sensitive family history. The NDA process put me at ease, and my writer handled the difficult material with real care.”
You share your story, ideas or expertise in recorded interviews. Your ghostwriter turns them into an outline and then chapters, which you review as they are written. When the manuscript is finished, you own it outright and publish it under your own name.
Only if you tell them. Your writer signs an NDA and is never named without your written permission. Many well-known books are ghostwritten; it's a normal, legitimate part of publishing.
Plan on roughly 8–20 hours of interviews in total, spread over several months, plus time to read and comment on chapters. We schedule around your calendar, including evenings and weekends across US, UK, Canadian and Australian time zones.
Most books take four to nine months from first interview to finished manuscript, depending on length, research and how quickly you review chapters. You get a written schedule before we start.
In stages — typically a deposit to begin, then payments tied to delivered and approved chapters. Be cautious of anyone who wants the full fee before any writing is done.
No. Your book is written by a human professional from your interviews. We may use tools for transcription, but the writing, structure and voice are human work — and you get a declaration saying so if a publisher asks.
Tell us about the book you've been carrying around. We'll tell you honestly whether ghostwriting is the right fit.
Answer a few questions about your book. A ghostwriting consultant will reply with next steps and an honest view of cost and timeline — no pressure.
Prefer to talk it through?
Pick the question closest to your situation. You'll get a straight answer here — and you can take it further with your own AI assistant if you'd like a second opinion.
Still unsure? Ask a real consultant — it's free and there's no obligation.
No. The story, memories and opinions are yours; the writer helps you express them. It becomes a problem only if a book claims facts that aren't true. Many readers never know — and many wouldn't mind if they did.
Ask for a sample chapter or a paid test section, and make sure you approve chapters as they are written rather than at the end. Interview recordings are the best raw material for voice.
Deliverables and word count, schedule, number of revisions, payment milestones, confidentiality, and a clear statement that copyright belongs to you. If any of these are missing, ask before you pay.
If you enjoy writing and have time, coaching is far cheaper and you'll learn a lot. If time is the real constraint, ghostwriting is usually the faster route.
You can take it anywhere — query agents or self-publish. If you publish with us, the manuscript moves straight into editing, cover design and formatting without starting over.
