We offer ghostwriting and editing services for most non-fiction books. Projects often require both verbal feedback and written critique to help establish well-informed, unique and streamlined writing. With non-fiction, authors have often written a first draft and need our support in developing the manuscript or properly indexing citations.

Writing great non-fiction requires serious research and expertise in a chosen subject, often combining the empirical with the philosophical and the political. Striking a balance is key in the process and we support writers with this. New writers can get caught in a vast amount of information and dense writing often accompanies this, as well as over-referencing (or under); as such, our clients do benefit from our assessments, editorials and non-fiction ghostwriting services. Non-fiction will often overlap with creative non-fiction or narrative non-fiction. For more info on those book types, please visit our memoirs page.

The Process

1. Brief us on the project and send us everything you have. We’ll want to understand what the book is as we discuss your publishing goals.

2. As talks and meetings take place, we’ll find model books that support the project. We will start to build an outline and trial some sample writing.

3. The first goal will be to submit a strong book proposal with two or three sample chapters. As you and your ghost continue the writing, we begin to submit the proposal for you to agents and publishers.

4. It can take years for the book to get to the right stage but a business book or thought leadership title [4-6 months] is easier to write than a history book or political piece.

We can bring specialist consultants on board and we work with journalists and academics who have experience in key topics. Non-fiction titles can be some of the most challenging, as tone and delivery will make or break a book but with workshops, re-writes and editorials, we endeavour to create compelling non-fiction for aspiring authors and we work with both UK and US ghost writers.
