The Ghostwriting Process
Discovery & Strategy: I start with a consultation to understand your goals, audience, and key messages. This step ensures we’re aligned from the start and helps shape the book’s structure and style to match your vision.
Research & Interviews: I conduct interviews and research to ensure the content is accurate, engaging, and tailored to your voice and message. Throughout this phase, we collaborate to keep the narrative aligned with your vision.
Outline & Approval: Once the research phase is complete, I create a detailed chapter-by-chapter outline to confirm alignment before the writing begins.
Writing & Revisions: Each chapter is written based on the approved outline, with your feedback incorporated at every stage. Multiple rounds of revisions are included to ensure the final product meets your expectations.
Editing & Finalization: After completing the manuscript, I perform thorough edits to ensure clarity, flow, and consistency. You’ll receive a professionally formatted, ready-to-publish manuscript.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What Is Ghostwriting?
Ghostwriting is a service where a professional writer composes content—such as a book, article, or speech—on behalf of someone else who is credited as the author. It allows subject-matter experts, busy professionals, and thought leaders to share their insights without having to handle all the writing themselves.
Who Typically Uses Ghostwriting Services?
Professionals and entrepreneurs looking to establish or enhance their thought leadership often hire ghostwriters. Executives, speakers, coaches, and academics also partner with ghostwriters to convert their expertise, research, or life stories into well-structured, publishable manuscripts.
Is Ghostwriting Ethical?
Yes. Ghostwriting is a widely accepted practice in many industries (including publishing and speechwriting) as long as it is conducted transparently between the writer and the client. The ethical considerations usually involve clear communication and an agreed-upon credit arrangement. Ultimately, you’re the one providing the ideas, insights, and expertise—the ghostwriter handles the writing craft.
How Does Ghostwriting Differ from Editing or Co-Authoring?
Ghostwriting: The writer creates the entire manuscript or a large portion of it on your behalf. You’re credited as the author.
Editing: The editor polishes your writing—checking for grammar, style, structure, etc. You’re still the primary writer.
Co-Authoring: You and the writer share both writing duties and author credit, typically listed on the cover or inside pages.
Can Ghostwriting Help Me Build My Brand or Thought Leadership?
Absolutely. Publishing a book, article series, or white paper under your name showcases your expertise. It allows you to connect more deeply with your audience, attract new clients, and reinforce your credibility in your field.
Do I Need a Completed Manuscript or Can You Help From Scratch?
Either approach works. If you already have content such as notes, drafts, or outlines, we can refine and expand it. If you’re starting with just an idea, we’ll develop a book concept, conduct research, and structure the project so you have a polished, reader-friendly final product.
How Long Does It Typically Take To Ghostwrite a Book?
Timelines vary depending on factors such as project scope, desired word count, the depth of research needed, and client availability for feedback. A shorter eBook might take a few weeks, while a full-length nonfiction book (40,000–60,000 words) can take several months or more.
Will I Still Retain the Rights to the Book?
Yes. Once the manuscript is completed and the final payment is made, you retain full ownership and all rights. This means you’re free to publish the work in any format or negotiate additional uses (like translations or audiobook rights).
How Do You Capture My Voice and Style?
Through interviews, existing content review, and ongoing collaboration, I immerse myself in your tone, preferred language, and overall approach. Drafts and outlines are shared with you, ensuring adjustments can be made to keep the manuscript aligned with your personal style.
What Steps Should I Take Before Hiring a Ghostwriter?
Define Your Goals: Clarify why you want a book or content written (e.g., expand your brand, share expertise, boost credibility).
Organize Your Ideas: Gather any notes, recorded talks, or relevant materials.
Set a Budget & Timeline: Determine your budget parameters and ideal publication deadline.
Explore Publishing Options: Decide if you want to self-publish, pursue a traditional publisher, or use a hybrid approach.
Is There a Minimum or Maximum Word Count You Recommend?
Most business or leadership-focused books range between 40,000 and 60,000 words. However, the exact word count will depend on your content goals, audience preferences, and publishing format. Shorter eBooks can be effective for targeted topics, while more comprehensive works may exceed 60,000 words.
How Can I Get Started?
Simply contact me to set up a consultation. We’ll discuss your vision, timeline, and any preliminary materials you have. From there, we’ll chart out a plan to develop and complete your book project.
