Ghostwriting and co-authorship of a book
Ghostwriting is the creation of a book from start to finish: you are the source of the ideas, the stories and the meanings, while the ghostwriter puts them into words, structures them and turns them into a professional text. This is not somebody else book under your name but your own book, written together with a producer. More than half of the world non-fiction bestsellers are created in exactly this format of ghostwriting or co-authorship.
- A completely finished manuscript in your own style
- From 4 to 12 in-depth interviews with the author
- The architecture of the book and a systematised methodology
- Editing and refinement of the style
- A manuscript ready for typesetting and printing
Ghostwriting, or co-authorship of a book, is a full cycle in which a professional writer produces the book on the basis of your experience, your knowledge, your interviews, your materials and your expertise. In this kind of cooperation you are the source of the ideas, the stories and the meanings, while the ghostwriter is the person who puts them into words, structures them and turns them into a well written, logical, professional text.
This is not “somebody else’s book under your name”. This is YOUR book, simply created together with a producer and a professional writer who:
- senses your style,
- conveys your language,
- reveals your philosophy,
- works with your methodology,
- puts your experience into a text people understand.
Today ghostwriting is normal practice in the world of non-fiction literature. This is how the books of entrepreneurs, psychologists, coaches, thought leaders, experts, athletes, startup founders, lecturers, bloggers, teachers and mentors are made. More than half of all bestsellers are created in the format of ghostwriting or co-authorship.
Author producing is the professional creation of your book from start to finish: from interviews and ideas to a complete manuscript written in your own style.
Who this service is for
A book is an investment in your name. It is better to create it properly once than to struggle for years and publish nothing. The service suits:
- experts who have something to say but no time to write;
- entrepreneurs who need a book for their brand but are busy with their business;
- psychologists, coaches and trainers who want to put their method into shape;
- those who do not know how to write well and professionally but have valuable knowledge;
- authors who have got stuck halfway;
- those who want a guarantee that the book will turn out strong, logical and able to sell.
Which pains ghostwriting solves:
- There is no time to write.
- There is an idea but no structure.
- There is experience, but it will not come out in words.
- The text comes out raw, patchy or illogical.
- You write and write and then get stuck.
- It is hard to write beautifully, deeply and professionally.
- You are afraid the book will turn out poor.
- You want the book to match world class business literature.
- You want the book to help you sell products, courses and services.
Ghostwriting takes all of this off the shoulders of the author.
What the author gets at the end
When the ghostwriting is finished you receive:
- A completely finished manuscript of the book. The style, the voice and the structure all match you.
- A clear methodology of your own. From the same basis you can create a course, a programme, a club or consultations.
- A logical, readable, professional book. One that looks every bit as good as international bestsellers.
- A unique text with no equivalent anywhere. Because it is created from your experience and not rewritten from the internet.
- A manuscript ready for editing, typesetting and printing. In other words, ready for publication.
Results for the author and the brand:
- You become an author without stress and without burnout.
- You get a book written professionally.
- Your brand grows several times over.
- You establish yourself in your niche as an expert.
- Your products become easier to sell.
- You start getting invitations to interviews, podcasts and speaking events.
- The book becomes the point of entry into your courses and consultations.
Why ghostwriting is the most effective way to create an expert book. Because an author is not always a writer. But every expert deserves to have a book. Ghostwriting makes it possible to create a strong intellectual product that:
- does not steal your time;
- conveys your voice;
- makes you recognisable;
- works for you for years;
- sells your brand and your products;
- strengthens your position in the niche.
This is the shortest road from expertise to a book.
What's included in the service
In-depth interviews with the author
We hold 4 to 12 conversations, depending on the scale of the book, to collect stories, expert examples, methodology, real life situations, philosophy, views, principles, formulas, approaches and insights. This is the raw material the book is built from.
Transcription, sorting and analysis of the material
The ghostwriter and the producer break the material into blocks, extract the main meanings, format the quotes, cut away what is superfluous, build a content base and shape the structure of the chapters. This is a large analytical job that an author does not do alone.
Creating the architecture of the book
On the basis of the interviews and the analysis we build the logic of the book, the map of the chapters, the sections, the dramaturgy, the structure of the ideas and the plan of the whole text. This is the foundation the book is written on.
Writing the book in the style of the author
The ghostwriter writes the text in your voice, takes your vocabulary and your style, creates a natural and living text, conveys your character, builds strong arguments and adds examples, metaphors and cases.
Expanding the cases and the stories
We help to describe the examples in more depth, build strong dramaturgy, add context and meaning and create the effect of a compelling story. This makes the book alive and emotional rather than dry.
Systematising the methodology of the author
The ghostwriter and the producer single out your tools, create algorithms, formalise your formulas and assemble the system into one model. This is the key to an expert book that sells courses, consultations and programmes.
Editing and refinement of the style
The final stage: refining the logic, removing repetition, strengthening the rhythm, structuring the ideas, stylistic proofreading and polishing the exact wording. As a result the text reads smoothly and professionally.
