What is collaborative writing?

It's ghostwriting, basically!

But the way I work is a bit different from the way most ghostwriters work.

My process is very...

you guessed it...

collaborative!

As your writing partner, I believe the most powerful books emerge from genuine collaboration. While some ghostwriters prefer to work in isolation, I thrive on the energy and insights that come from working closely with wisdom-keepers like you.

How It Works

We'll start with a complimentary discovery call where we'll explore your vision and ensure we're a good fit for each other. Then, we'll dive into a three-phase process designed to bring your book to life:

Phase 1: Strategy & Planning

First, we'll develop a comprehensive foundation for your book through:

Creating a detailed avatar of your ideal reader

Analyzing the market landscape and identifying your unique position

Exploring publishing paths aligned with your goals

Developing a strategic marketing approach

Crafting a chapter-by-chapter outline that captures your vision

Phase 2: Writing!!

In this phase, we will meet for 60 to 90 minute interviews for each chapter. We can meet as often as once each week, or we can pace it out depending on your availability.

I will then conduct up to two hours of research per chapter and transform your spoken wisdom into engaging content for your book, maintaining your authentic voice throughout.

Phase 3: Polishing & Preparing for Publication

As your manuscript takes its final shape, I will incorporate your feedback to refine and strengthen the content. Once the manuscript is complete, I will connect you with editors I trust to polish it up and guide you toward your chosen publishing path.

Investment & Timeline

Every book is unique, but here's what you can typically expect:

Base rate: $3,000 per book project (includes extensive planning process)

Per chapter rate: $3,000 (includes two hours of interviewing and two hours of research)

Typical chapter length: 3,000-5,000 words (10-15 printed pages)

A chapter draft is usually completed in one to two weeks

The final investment and timeline will depend on factors like your availability, the amount of existing content you have, and the depth of research required.

Collaborative ghostwriting may be your path if:

You have powerful insights to share but struggle with writing

You value a partnership approach to creating your book

You're excited about being actively involved in developing your book

You're comfortable giving constructive feedback
