I have always believed that leadership requires a certain set of core competencies. I fired my first employee on a Tuesday, in a parking lot, because I hadn't learned this yet.

Frequently asked

Every ghostwriting engagement opens with a signed NDA. Your ghostwriter is named nowhere on the finished work, in our marketing, or in conversation, unless you decide otherwise.

You do, fully, on final payment. Rights transfer to you by contract, and we retain no claim to the work, published or not.

Most clients don't, starting out. The interview process is designed to pull structure and stories out of scattered notes, talks you've already given, or just a series of conversations with your ghostwriter.

We deliver a polished, formatted manuscript. We can recommend editors, agents, and self-publishing routes based on your goals, but publishing and distribution sit outside our scope.

Tell us the story only you can tell.

Send a few notes on what you want written and we'll set up a confidential first call.
