Frequently Asked Questions
Modern ghostwriting usually looks very different from the old-fashioned “sit in someone’s house with a tape recorder” approach that people imagine.
Most authors send us a mixture of voice notes, rough bullet points, blog posts, podcast clips, half-written chapters, presentations, or general ideas. From there, we shape that material into a professionally written manuscript.
Some authors come to us with detailed notes, while others have scattered thoughts. Both are completely fine.
Yes, that’s the whole point of ghostwriting.
We study your voice carefully through your podcasts, social media posts, articles, interviews, videos, blogs, or voice notes so that we understand how you naturally communicate.
The goal is that nobody reading the book would ever realise it had been ghostwritten.
That’s completely fine, but we recommend starting with our Hero’s Compass idea validation package first. The ghostwriter needs clarity around what the book is trying to say, who it’s for, how it should be structured, and what the overall purpose of the book is before the writing process begins.
You do. It’s your book, your ideas, and your intellectual property.
DREAM OF WRITING A BOOK BUT DON’T HAVE THE TIME (OR DESIRE) TO WRITE IT YOURSELF?
Our ghostwriting package is built for experts, entrepreneurs, professionals, and thought leaders who want to publish a high-quality nonfiction book—but don’t have the time to do the writing themselves. Whether you have voice notes, blog posts, course content, or just a jumble of ideas in your head, we’ll shape them into a compelling, publication-ready manuscript that sounds like you—on your best day.
What it includes:
- Ghostwriting by our award-winning ghostwriter and published author.
- Use of your existing materials, such as blogs, notes, talks, articles, presentations, half-written chapters, or videos.
- Use of your book outline to guide the manuscript’s structure.
- If you do not yet have an outline, we recommend completing our Hero’s Compass package first.
- The option to audio-narrate your ideas and send recordings via a shared folder.
- A sample section written first, so you can approve the tone, voice, and style.
- Full manuscript ghostwriting once the sample has been approved.
- Author review and edits after the full draft has been written.
- The opportunity for a hybrid-publishing package after.

We strive to ensure that your book is smart, strategic, and sounds like you. Most of our clients come to us because they care deeply about quality and want a partner they can trust to bring their book to life. You bring the knowledge—we’ll bring the words.
Our typical ghostwriting projects take 1-2 months, depending on your availability and the length of the book. Every book is different, so we tailor the process to suit you.
If you proceed with a hybrid publishing package, the price will be reduced accordingly.
