Ghostwriting
Your story, written in your voice
You have the experience, expertise or idea. A ghostwriter provides the time and craft to shape it into a finished manuscript — with your input and approval at every stage.
- Discovery interviews to capture your voice and material
- Detailed outline approved before drafting begins
- Chapter-by-chapter drafts for your feedback
- Agreed revision rounds
Let’s Get Started!
Overview
A collaboration built on listening
Good ghostwriting begins with conversation. Through recorded interviews, questionnaires and the material you already have — notes, recordings, earlier drafts — your writer learns how you speak, what you want readers to feel and the details only you can supply.
From there, the book is built in stages you can see and shape. Nothing is drafted until the outline is approved, and every chapter is reviewed by you before the next is finalised. The aim is a manuscript that sounds unmistakably like you.

Most clients take part in interview sessions and review each batch of chapters. Your involvement is greatest at the start, when your writer is learning your voice and material.
Can you write fiction from my idea?
Yes. We can develop a novel from your premise, characters and plot ideas, with the same staged approval process.

Length, research needs and how quickly feedback is returned all affect timing. We agree a schedule with you during discovery.
