Ghostwriting

As ghost writers, we don't care if our name is on the book or byline as long as it is on the check.

Because our work is subject to strict non-disclosure agreements, we can't mix names and stories. However, we can tell you that some pretty popular thought leadership content by some well known business figures originated with us.

We have produced books, articles and regular columns for well known executives, doing everything from shaping existing material written to interviewing principals and writing whole manuscripts.

Initially, we work with you (and your publisher) to create a detailed outline that includes much more structure than a mere table of contents.

If your piece is designed to aid people (rather than convey a life story), we will help you develop or refine a signature concept centered on a set number of principles or a mnemonic.

We then interview the subject(s), and the interviews are transcribed overnight. Additional web research is done by our research teams in India and Pakistan. Much of our initial background material is collected in a matter of days. Primary research from original documents can take longer depending on the project.

Some projects have completed first drafts in as little as a month. Two revisions later, you have a book ready for publication.

Our prices are competitive. Working from the detailed outline, we line-item the whole process so there are no surprises. Generally we charge a flat fee that represents the estimated time for the project at our hourly rate. What we charge depends on what material you bring to the table.

Per industry standards, we get 50% of the agreed upon price upon signing the contract, 25% is due on delivery of the first completed draft, 15% is due upon delivery of the first revised draft. The final 10% is due upon acceptance of the final draft.

Books, columns and articles provide incalculable value by cementing your position as a leader in your field. If you don’t have a publisher lined up, we can help you self-publish the book so you can sell it at events or in stores. You can offer it as a premium to your clients, or you can use it as an eBook to entice potential customers to register as part of a qualified sales lead generation program.

It is your book, your stepping stone to take you to the next level. Let's get started.
