Ghostwriting
Expert writers turn your notes, interviews or half-finished chapters into a clean, publish-ready draft that still sounds like you.
Ghostwriting, editing, cover design, formatting, distribution, audiobooks and marketing for Australian and New Zealand authors — managed as one project by one team. The copyright stays in your name and every royalty dollar is paid to you.
Most authors stall in the gap between finishing a draft and knowing what happens next. We close that gap. Take the full package, or hire us for a single service.

Launch campaigns, review outreach, Amazon listing optimisation, press and book fair placement, aimed at readers who buy your genre.
Also available: book video trailers, author websites, blog and article writing, website content, ebook writing, and book signing coordination.
Answer three questions and we will tell you which step actually comes next — even if that step is not hiring us.
Question 1 of 3Where is your manuscript right now?
Question 2 of 3Has it been professionally edited?
Question 3 of 3What matters most for this book?
Your title goes into the same wholesale and retail networks the major publishing houses use. Print and ebook editions are listed together, so a reader who finds one finds the other.
Availability through the wholesale catalogue is not the same as a guaranteed place on a shelf: whether an individual store stocks your book is always that store's own buying decision.
You sign off each stage before the next one starts.
A consultant reads what you have and tells you what the book actually needs, before any quote.
Ghostwriting if you need it, then developmental, line and copy-editing with every change tracked.
Cover concepts, typeset interior, ebook files and audiobook production, proofed on final pages.
ISBNs, metadata and distribution live, then the marketing campaign if you have chosen one.
Three honest routes to a published book. Two of them are not us, and we will say so when they suit you better.
You hire freelancers, learn the file specifications and manage retailer dashboards. Cheapest in cash, most expensive in time, and entirely doable if you enjoy the process.
Best if you have time and patienceYou submit and wait. An advance, a publisher's sales force and bookshop presence are the prize; the cost is time, a share of your rights and royalties, and the real chance of rejection.
Best if an advance and prestige matter mostYou pay for the production work once, keep the copyright and all royalties, and have one consultant running the schedule. No gatekeeping, no waiting to be chosen.
Best if you want it done properly, nowYour book is assigned to a writer and editor who have worked in your category before, not a generalist learning it on your budget.
My manuscript sat untouched for two years because I did not know what step two was. They read it, told me plainly what it needed, and it was on Amazon four months later.
The distribution reach was the surprise. I expected Amazon. I did not expect to find my book in multiple public library systems by the end of the year.
They handled the parts I did not understand — ISBNs, copyright filing, trim sizes — so I could stay in the part I am actually good at, which is writing.
Every package includes a full manuscript edit and complete publishing setup. The difference is how far your distribution and marketing reach.

Quote on requestOne-time cost, confirmed after a free manuscript review
Every manuscript is different. Final pricing is confirmed after a free review, never before.
Send us the manuscript and a consultant reads it before quoting anything. You get a fixed price for the stages your book actually needs, and nothing for the ones it does not.
The questions authors ask us most often, answered plainly.
No. A complete draft is the easiest starting point, but it is not required. If you have half a book, a stack of notes, or only an idea and the time to be interviewed, our ghostwriters can build the draft with you.
You do, completely. The copyright is filed in your name, the ISBN is registered to you, and every royalty dollar from every channel is paid to you. We are a service provider, not a publishing house that takes a share of your work.
It depends on the state of your manuscript and how many services you need, which is why we quote after reading it rather than before. A book that needs only formatting and distribution costs a fraction of one that needs ghostwriting, illustration and a launch campaign.
A finished, clean manuscript usually goes from kickoff to live in three to four months. Books needing developmental work or ghostwriting run longer, commonly six to nine months depending on length and how quickly you return feedback.
It will be available to every bookstore and library through the Ingram wholesale catalogue, which is where retailers place their orders. Whether a specific store puts it on a physical shelf is that store’s own buying decision, and no publisher can guarantee it.
Yes, and many authors do. It is common to start with editing and publishing to get the book out, then add audiobook production or a marketing campaign once early sales show which channels are worth pushing.
Revisions are built into every package rather than sold as extras. Cover concepts come in multiples so you are choosing, not accepting, and nothing is sent to print until you approve the final proof in writing.
A traditional publisher pays for production and takes a share of your rights and royalties, and has to accept your manuscript first. We are paid for the production work, take no share of anything the book earns, and never need to accept or reject you.
Send us your manuscript, your outline, or just a description of the book you keep meaning to write. A publishing consultant reads it and comes back within one business day.
