Write your book.

However far along you are, we help you finish it, from the first conversation to the final proof.

Most experts have more than enough material. What's missing is someone to draw it out: to sit with you long enough, ask the right questions and shape what surfaces into a book that sounds like you.

Three ways to write it.

Write it yourself with an editor beside you

You do the writing. We read every chapter, push on what's unclear and keep you moving towards a deadline

Draft it with your AI companion

Built on your interviews, notes and past work, your companion helps you get first drafts down quickly and in your own voice. A human editor then works on every page

Have us write it from your interviews

Full ghostwriting. We interview you over several sessions and write the book in your voice. You review and approve every chapter, and your name goes on the cover

Wordsmithing, all the way through.

  • Developmental edit

    The big picture: structure, argument and flow across the whole book

  • Copyedit

    Line by line, for grammar, consistency and style

  • Proofread

    The last check before printing, for typos and layout errors

From conversation to chapter.

Honestly? The first big contract I lost, I lost because I talked for forty minutes about our process. The client had one question. Would this keep their best people from leaving. And I never answered it. After that I started every pitch with the question they'd actually come to ask.

Chapter 3 · Answer the question they came with

I lost my first big contract by talking for forty minutes about our process. The client had come with a single question: would this keep their best people from leaving? I never answered it. Every pitch I've made since has opened with their question, long before a word about mine.

The audiobook.

Many people now listen first. We produce an audiobook edition alongside the print and ebook.

  • In your own voice

    We coach you, record with you remotely or in a studio near you, and edit to the standard the major stores require

  • With a professional narrator

    We cast and direct a voice that suits the book

Your audiobook goes out to the main listening platforms, including Audible, Apple Books and Spotify.

Already writing? Start here.

Most authors come to us through the cohort, but plenty don't. If you have a manuscript, a half-finished draft or a book you want rewritten, we start where you are.

  1. A first call

    Where the book is, what it needs to do and what kind of help suits you

  2. A plan and a quote

    Scope, timeline and cost, agreed before any work starts

  3. Writing and editing

    Regular check-ins, chapter by chapter, to a schedule you can keep

  4. Ready to publish

    A finished, proofread manuscript, and a clear next step to publication

Your book stays yours.

Your words, your interviews and your companion belong to you. Ghostwritten books carry your name only, and our work stays confidential.

Questions people ask.

Do I need to be a good writer?

No. Plenty of our authors don't think of themselves as writers. If you'd rather talk than type, the interviews and your AI companion do the heavy lifting, and an editor works on every page.

Will it sound like me?

Yes. Everything starts from your own words, recorded in conversation. You review every chapter, and nothing goes out until it reads like you.

How do you use AI?

Where it helps: to organise your material and speed up first drafts. The thinking, the stories and the voice stay yours, and a person edits every page.

How long does it take?

It depends on the route, the length of the book and how much material you already have. We agree a schedule you can keep in the plan, before any work starts.

What does it cost?

Every book is different, so we quote after the first call, once we know the route and the scope.
