Services / Fiction Ghostwriting

Fiction ghostwriting for novels and short stories

You know the story you want to tell. Our fiction ghostwriters turn your plot, characters and world into a finished novel, written with you, credited to you, and ready for editing and publication.

Genres we write

Our writers work across commercial and literary fiction, including crime and thrillers, romance, fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, family sagas, young adult and children's fiction. We match you with a writer who knows your genre and what its readers expect.

From idea to manuscript

Some authors arrive with a detailed outline; others with a single scene they cannot stop thinking about. Either works. We start by developing your premise, characters and plot into a full outline that you approve, then write the novel in stages so you can steer it as it grows.

  • Premise, plot and character development
  • Chapter-by-chapter outline approved by you
  • Chapters delivered in batches for your feedback
  • Revision rounds on the complete draft

Writing in a way that sounds like you

Fiction lives or dies on voice. Your writer studies how you talk about your story, any pages you have already written and the books you love, so the finished novel feels like yours.

Ready for publication

When the manuscript is finished, it can go straight into editing, cover design and publishing with the same team. The book is credited to you, and you own the copyright.

Common questions

Do I need a full outline to start?

No. We can develop the outline with you from a premise, a few characters or even a single scene.

Can you write a series?

Yes. We can plan and write a series, keeping characters, world-building and continuity consistent across books.

Will the book be published under my name?

Yes. You are credited as the author and own the copyright.
