Ghostwriting Services

A Professional Ghostwriter for Your Business Book, Self-help Guide or Memoir

A book changes how seriously your audience and clients take you. This alone can transform your business, so you know in your heart it’s a worthwhile venture.

But where on earth do you find the time to write a book? The good news is you don’t have to burn the midnight oil to get it done. You can do what many other people do and work with a ghostwriter.

You might feel nervous about me writing ‘as you’. But the thing is, my clients tell me I have a natural talent for writing in your voice: choosing your words as you would want them written, and with added clarity and persuasion. As part of my ghostwriting service, I take your ideas, your thoughts, and your vision, and turn them into your own readable and memorable book.

Your name is credited as the author and I stay firmly in the background, where I like it (yes, really).

There’s a lot that your book needs to do as well as be a good read:

Encourage your readers to take the action you want
Improve your readers’ lives
Attract speaking opportunities or requests to work with you

With my business and marketing background I can ghostwrite a business book, self-help guide or memoir which is structured to get you the results you want. Some of the books I’ve ghosted have been taken on by major publishing houses, but many of my authors choose to publish via one of the book packagers I can recommend.

Here’s how my ghostwriting services work

My tried and trusted process ensures we cover off all the elements of writing a successful and transformational book.

Strategy & Outlining Session
We start with a strategy and outlining session in which we plan the book that will put you in the spotlight.
Interviews
I interview you to pull the thoughts and ideas out of your head. Alternatively, I can work from your draft manuscript and other written materials or videos if you have them.
Ghostwriting
I ghostwrite your book so it sounds just like you, in three drafts.
Manuscript Delivery
I deliver your final manuscript! I can also advise you on publishing and marketing options.

If you want to understand my bottom-up philosophy on business book writing, you could take a look at my own book Your Business Your Book, winner of the sales and marketing category at the Business Book Awards 2020.

Or, if you’re a coach, therapist or trainer, my latest book, How to Write a Self-Help Book, is the definitive guide to getting your expertise out of your head and onto the page in a way that will change your readers’ lives.

Your Investment for this Service

Every project is different, but to give you an idea of your investment for my ghostwriting service, my rates start from £40,000 + vat for a full-length book of up to 50,000 words (that’s about 200 pages). Shorter books are less. I’m not the cheapest, but I only take on one first draft at a time and you want your book to be the best – it has your name on the cover.

Without a book, you’ll always feel frustrated that you could have been a published author. With one, you’re able to send your big message out into the world and gain the visibility and authority you desire. You’ll be a respected and accomplished expert.

Praise from my Clients

My 55,000 word book was written in 6 months and I am so happy with it

Lucy Adams, HR Consultant

Working with Ginny has been a fantastic experience. If you are looking for a ghostwriter who ‘gets’ your voice, shares your enthusiasm for your book, and offers great professional expertise and advice about the whole process, then Ginny is who you should contact.

I chose Ginny as she was recommended by a publisher I know and trust. I was very impressed from the outset with her professionalism and obvious wealth of knowledge about how the process would work. I was a bit anxious about the idea of working with a ghostwriter at first as I wasn’t sure how anyone could capture my voice with authenticity and write about a subject that isn’t her area of expertise. Somehow, she does just that – after the first couple of chapters, I hardly made any revisions to the drafts that came back to me. Ginny met every deadline and also provided me with advice and support in areas that were outside of the contract. She made the whole process so easy and whilst I still had to do the work to structure my thoughts and provide the research and sources etc, she took away the time-consuming effort of having to write it up and edit. My 55,000 word book was written in 6 months and I am so happy with it. I would never have produced it without her.

She delivered my manuscript in a timescale I could never have done myself

Simon Fishel, Scientist and Entrepreneur

I have to admire Ginny’s skill and the incredible speed with which she grasped the complexities of my story. She delivered my manuscript in a timescale I could never have done myself, and she put me at my ease throughout. I can’t recommend her highly enough because of her professionalism, support, and skill. She’s used those qualities to make my book dream come true.

I’m mighty impressed and am hoping to do a lot more work with Ginny in the future

Sue Richardson, Publisher at Sue Richardson Associates

It’s been a huge pleasure to work with Ginny on my client’s book. As a publisher, knowing we have a writer who will deliver great quality work, on time and within budget is a massive benefit, and Ginny has ticked all these boxes. However, it was Ginny’s author care that put the icing on the cake. From the start she listened carefully to her, made her feel looked after, and ‘got’ her voice very quickly. Despite being penned 100% by Ginny, the resulting book reads throughout as if it had been written by our author – something that’s not easy to achieve. All in all I’m mighty impressed and am hoping to do a lot more work with Ginny in the future.
