How the Ghostwriting Process Works
Every collaboration unfolds a little differently, but here’s the process we’ll follow as we shape your memoir together.
A downloadable PDF is available here.
1. Discovery & Alignment
Every collaboration begins with a conversation. We talk about your story, your goals, and the kind of book you imagine. This is also where we decide whether we’re the right fit for each other—creative chemistry matters.
Once we move forward, you’ll receive a simple agreement outlining scope, timeline, and deliverables.
2. Deep-Dive Interviews
We meet weekly (or at a pace that works for you). These conversations are relaxed, guided, and story-driven.
During this stage, I gather your voice, memories, turning points, scenes, themes, and emotional truths—everything that will shape the book.
3. Writing the First Draft
Using the interviews, I write your manuscript in your voice.
Each chapter is crafted to read like real literature—honest, nuanced, emotionally resonant, and true to you.
We check in periodically so the writing stays aligned with your intentions.
4. Revisions & Refinement
You’ll receive the full draft to review. We discuss what feels right, what needs more depth, and what you want strengthened or softened.
I revise the manuscript to incorporate your notes, polishing the narrative, pacing, tone, and emotional arc.
5. Final Manuscript Delivery
You receive a clean, publication-ready manuscript in Word or Google Docs.
Every story can be powerful when it’s told with honesty, clarity, and craftsmanship.
