Your voice. Your book.

    Ghostwriting

    You have something worth saying, but writing the book yourself isn't the right route. I turn your expertise, stories, and perspective into a manuscript that sounds like you and serves your reader.

    Ghostwriter of three Sunday Times bestsellers

    Their titles and authors remain confidential under NDA. The same discretion is at the heart of every ghostwriting partnership.

    A Close Collaboration

    This is not a book written at a distance and handed back to you. It is a considered partnership; I listen closely, find the structure, and write with your voice and your reader in mind.

    1. Define the book

      We clarify your reader, the central message, and what belongs in the manuscript. Scope, confidentiality, and terms are agreed before work begins.

    2. Capture your voice

      Conversations and your existing material bring out the language, stories, and ideas that make the book unmistakably yours.

    3. Write and refine

      I develop the manuscript, with agreed opportunities for your feedback so the argument, details, and voice stay true to you.

    Privacy Comes First

    Your name, your material, and my involvement are not portfolio content. Confidentiality is agreed under NDA before sensitive material is shared. I do not name protected clients or titles; any acknowledgement is yours to decide, within the terms we agree.

    Common Questions

    What is nonfiction ghostwriting?

    You bring the knowledge, experience, and perspective; I shape and write the manuscript in your voice. Unlike developmental editing, which works with your draft, ghostwriting takes on the writing itself, in close collaboration with you.

    Can you name the bestsellers you have ghostwritten?

    I have ghostwritten three Sunday Times bestsellers. Those projects are covered by non-disclosure agreements, so I cannot name their titles or authors. Protecting that confidentiality is part of the work, not an exception to it.

    Will my project be confidential?

    Yes. We agree confidentiality under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before you share sensitive material. Your identity, conversations, and unpublished manuscript are treated as confidential; any public acknowledgement of my involvement requires your permission and must comply with our agreement.

    What does ghostwriting cost and how long does it take?

    The fee and schedule depend on the scope of the book, the source material, and the collaboration required. Get in touch for a confidential conversation; we agree the scope, fee, milestones, and revision process before the writing begins.
