Bringing your book to life entails more than simply writing words on a page. Even within each step shown below, there are multiple sub-steps that a book must go through in order to get from the author's mind to the reader's hands.
Concept Development + Writing
As a ghostwriter, I will obviously complete the Writing step of the process. But you'll notice this is not the first step. This is because I can't write anything until we develop the concept!
These are crucial questions which you and I must both understand the answers to before any writing begins. Once we address these questions, we dive further into core themes, messages, stories, etc. and build a strong outline that will serve as the guide for the Writing phase. Additionally, robust Concept Development will help further down the road when you determine your publishing strategy and start positioning your book in the Marketing stage.
For all these reasons, the bulk of our time will likely be spent in Concept Development, as it is crucial to the overall success of your book and your broader objectives.
- Why are you writing this book?
- Who are you writing it for?
- What do you want the reader to take away?

Book Creation vs. Book Production
It's important to note that I will help you take your idea all the way through the Book Creation phase but you will be responsible for the Book Production phase which includes professional editing, pursuing publication options if that is your goal, and of course marketing your book.
However, I can also help create Book Proposals, Query Letters, and other material in support of your Book Production phase and, with my own experience of going through this process as well as my network of contacts and resources, I am happy to help advise you through it.
