PROFESSIONAL GHOSTWRITING SERVICES

Bring Your Book to Life—Without Writing a Single Word

GHOSTWRITING & BOOK DEVELOPMENT

Whether you have a brilliant idea but no time, a life story that deserves to be told, or the next great novel trapped in your head—I write it for you. From adult fiction and memoirs to children’s picture books and instructional guides, I turn your concepts, outlines, or raw notes into polished, publishable manuscripts written in your voice.

BOOK CONSULTATION

  • Option A

    Option A: Full-Service Ghostwriting - I offer custom ghostwriting for adult fiction, nonfiction, and children’s books. Whether you want to tell your life story, teach a skill, or create a compelling narrative, I transform your ideas into structured, professionally written manuscripts. I specialize in horror, crime, sci-fi, how-to, and creative nonfiction. Children’s illustrated book development also available upon request.

  • Option B

    Option B: Project-Based Support - Don’t need a full book? I offer partial services: outlining, chapter rewrites, story consulting, or stylistic editing based on your material. I can help develop your project at any stage.

  • What I Offer

    • Adult Fiction - Custom novels in genres including horror, crime, sci-fi, thriller, and drama. Fully original or based on your outline, dream, or notes.
    • Non-Fiction Books - Memoirs, how-to guides, personal development, life stories, or instructional texts based on interviews, notes, or recordings.
    • Children’s Books - Short-form picture books, early readers, or narrative-driven illustrated stories. Writing only, or writing plus art direction.
