A clear look at the ghostwriting process, who owns the book, and what to expect at each stage.
What a ghostwriter actually does
The writer interviews you, studies your voice and turns your ideas into a polished manuscript that reads like you wrote it.
The six stages
- Discovery call
- Outline and chapter plan
- Interviews and research
- First draft
- Revisions
- Final manuscript and handover
Who owns the book?
You do. A professional agreement assigns full rights, credit choices and confidentiality to the author.
Every book starts with one decision: to begin.
