Non-Fiction Ghostwriting Services

The cost depends on the length of the book, how much research and source checking it needs, the number of interviews, and your deadline. A focused business book and a heavily researched industry guide are priced very differently. After a free consultation, we give you a written quote based on your actual scope, with no obligation.

Yes. You are the sole author, so only your name appears on the cover, the copyright page, and every listing. Your ghostwriter is not credited unless you choose to mention them. For executives and consultants, that matters: the book builds your personal authority and reputation, and readers engage with it as your own thinking.

Leaders have deep expertise but very little free time. A business book ghostwriter turns a few hours of interviews each month into a finished manuscript, bringing the structure, writing skill, and steady schedule a book needs. You keep running your company while the book takes shape, and you approve every chapter before it is final.

Yes. A self-help book ghostwriter starts by understanding your framework through interviews, client stories, and any course or coaching material you already use. They then shape it into a clear sequence of steps, add examples and exercises, and write it in a warm, encouraging voice that sounds like you speaking directly to your readers.

A complete project includes discovery and positioning, recorded interviews, research, chapter structuring, the full manuscript, revision rounds, fact checking, and professional editing. If you want to go further, optional publishing support covers formatting, ISBN registration, cover design, and distribution, so your book can move from finished draft to bookstore with the same team.

Ghostwriting creates the book for you from your expertise, interviews, and research, so you do not need a draft to begin. Editing improves a manuscript you have already written, tightening structure, clarity, and accuracy. If your knowledge is still in your head or scattered across notes, choose ghostwriting. If you have a full draft, choose editing.

A standard non-fiction manuscript usually takes about 3-4 months from discovery to final delivery. Books that need extensive research, many interviews, or outside sources can take longer, and your availability for interviews and feedback also sets the pace. We confirm a written schedule with chapter milestones before work begins.

Your writer logs the source for every statistic, quote, date, and attribution while drafting. Before delivery, the full manuscript goes through a separate verification pass that checks each claim against its source and flags anything that needs updating. Where readers expect citations, we add them in the format that suits your book and audience.

It depends on the length of the book and how much material you already have, such as talks, articles, or course content. Most projects use a series of recorded sessions spread across the drafting period, scheduled around your calendar. If you have extensive existing material, fewer interviews are needed to fill the gaps.

No. A clear area of expertise is enough to begin. During discovery, your writer helps you narrow it into a defined thesis, identify the right audience, and see where the book fits among existing titles. Only once that foundation is agreed does outline work start, so you never pay for chapters built on a vague idea.

You do. On delivery, all rights transfer to you in writing. You hold the copyright, keep every royalty, and can reuse the content in courses, keynotes, articles, or future editions without asking permission. Your ghostwriter retains no claim to the material, and only your name appears as author on the finished book.

Yes. Every project runs under a signed NDA that covers your identity, internal documents, client data, frameworks, and your working relationship with the writer. Files are shared through secure channels and used only for your book. Confidentiality does not end at delivery; it continues for as long as the agreement says.

Ask whether the writer has worked in your subject area, how they research and verify facts, and how many revision rounds are included. Confirm how rights transfer, what the NDA covers, how much interview time you will need to give, and when chapters will arrive. Finally, get the total cost in writing before you sign.
