The book inside you. The one which must be written. I will write it in your voice.
Experience and Confidentiality. Your Personal Ghostwriter.
Why Do You Need a Ghostwriter?
There is something you need to say. It is inside of you. It must be written. Yet, the path is elusive.
Perhaps, it is a matter of time. Your life is cluttered with responsibilities. Writing is a lengthy and exhaustive process. You need it done, but you don’t want to lose a year of your life.
Or, perhaps, you are so close to the project that you would benefit from a confidential professional offering a 30,000-foot perspective to help you find the themes and story lines which make for compelling reading.
Maybe you are an idea person, but you lack the experience of a professional writer to present those ideas in a manner which is stylistically appealing. A professional ghostwriter can help you overcome these obstacles and realize your dream to become an author.
“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” -
Ernest Hemingway
Oh, how right you were, Ernest. But a true ghostwriter welcomes the pain. There is an attraction to the blood, sweat, and tears that comes with creating a story. When you hire me as your ghostwriter, I will happily do the bleeding.
“The greatest part of a writer's time is spent in reading in order to write. A man will turn over half a library to make a book.” - Samuel Johnson
The single most important part of ghostwriting takes place before the words “Chapter One” hit the keyboard. This is the research stage of writing a book. It begins with time spent face-to-face between the author and the ghostwriter.
My process begins with paper and pen. Listening. Asking questions. Outlining. Testing ideas. Mining your thoughts for the diamonds which will become treasured concepts in our project. Next comes external research. Here again, I do what is necessary to provide context and accuracy for your book.
Why Else Do You Need a Ghostwriter?
Memoirs
You have reached the point in your life when it’s time to write your memoirs. Ben Franklin began writing his autobiography half a decade before he signed the Declaration of Independence. As was true with Franklin, the best is ahead of you, but now is the time to chronicle the lessons you have learned in the context of your emergence thus far.
Inspirational
Your personal experiences are unique and so are the perspectives you have gained. More importantly, you have a passion for helping people optimize their lives. You need help from an experienced writer to distill the research, concepts, and experiences into a meaningful story line which equips the reader for success.
How-To
You have mastered a marketable skill and want to share that with the public, but you recognize that “how-to” books are a niche genre requiring specialized expertise to craft from concept to conclusion. Your ghostwriter will take your expertise and present it complete with helpful images and graphic design concepts.
Mystery
There is a mystery novel inside you. It has been brewing for years, but you recognize a need to refine the concepts and present the story in a compelling manner. An experienced ghostwriter can be an invaluable resource.
History
Your passion is history. You have long studied a moment in time and want to share your observations. You need someone to take your research and conclusions and present them as an organized and thoughtful story.
Fiction
For years, you have toyed with a story concept. It started with a simple idea, but it stopped there. Writer’s block! Time! The details of life conspired to prevent your dream from becoming a reality. With the help of a ghostwriter, your book need not be reduced to merely an item on your bucket list.
What You Will Achieve
Upon completion, you will have the satisfaction of being an author. You will receive from me a polished and professional print-ready manuscript which represents you well. Your opinions, thoughts, and ideas will be artfully translated to print for all of time.
