Fiction Ghostwriting
For a first-time writer, the world of fiction is exciting, yet it can be overwhelming; genre fiction often needs restructuring, and literary fiction writers often need editorial support.
We can pick up from wherever you are in your workflow—a mere idea in your head, or a completed first draft. We’ll work closely with you to reduce the possibilities to core essentials as editors and ghostwriters. It will involve identifying the theme and plot issues and refining the text in an original way that connects with the reader. We can untangle what may be a bundle of idea threads into a streamlined, cohesive, well layered narrative that is lasting.
“When you start to write everybody is wishing you luck, but when you’re going good, they try to kill you.” – Ernest Hemingway
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know my ghostwriter is capable of writing the book I want?
We can write sample chapters for smaller fees to confirm the writer has the skills you are looking for. Our writers are top professionals, known authors, represented by literary agents and they are experienced writers who are some of the best in the game. What helps a project work is often more than assigning the right writers; it also involves the right supervision and management of the process. Success is also dependent on the standard of submissions going into the publishing system.
I’ve written a first draft. Can you help me improve it?
Yes. Often a first draft needs a structural edit or a ‘developmental edit’ which involves a combination of editorial skills and the development of various aspects.
How does it work?
The best thing to do is get in touch with us and tell us about your project. Is it a book, or a screenplay? What are you looking for? Novella or door stopper? What are your publishing goals?
How long does it take?
For ghostwriting fiction? An average of 12-18 months from a blank page. But this can be 4-6 months with a big budget! Developmental or structural edits can take as little as two weeks but sometimes six months, especially if rewriting is required.
What are the chances of securing a publishing deal?
This all goes back to the standard of the writing, the idea and then persevering with submissions.
