Services / Ghostwriting
Ghostwriting services: your book, in your name
You have the story, the expertise or the idea. Our ghostwriters have the time and the craft to turn it into a finished book. We work with authors in Sydney, Melbourne and across Australia, and the book is published under your name.
Who uses a ghostwriter?
Far more people than you might think. Business owners who want a book that builds authority, families recording a parent's life story, professionals with decades of knowledge to share, and novelists who have a strong plot but not the hours to write it. What they have in common is a book worth writing and a reason they cannot write it alone.
How ghostwriting works
- Discovery. We learn about you, your book, your readers and what you want the book to achieve.
- Interviews and research. Your writer gathers material through recorded conversations, your notes and any existing drafts.
- Outline. You approve a chapter-by-chapter outline before writing begins.
- Writing in stages. Chapters are delivered in batches so you can review, comment and shape the book as it grows.
- Revisions and polish. Once the draft is complete, it is revised with you and then edited and proofread.
Your voice, not ours
A good ghostwriter disappears. Through interviews and samples of how you speak and write, your writer captures your tone, your phrases and your way of telling a story, so readers hear you on every page.
Confidential, and the book is yours
Ghostwriting is confidential. You are credited as the author, and you own the copyright to the finished book. When it is ready, we can take it all the way to publication.
Fiction and non-fiction
We offer specialist fiction ghostwriting for novels and non-fiction ghostwriting for memoir, business and expert books.
Common questions
Will my name be on the book?
Yes. You are credited as the author and the ghostwriter remains confidential.
Who owns the copyright?
You do. The finished book and its copyright belong to you.
How involved do I need to be?
You will take part in interviews and review chapters as they are written. Most authors find a few hours a month is enough to keep the book on track.
Can you finish a book I have already started?
Yes. We can build on your existing draft, notes or outline rather than starting from scratch.
