Ghostwriting and custom projects
Some books need more than editing: a full draft written with you, a series bible, or completing something that's half-finished. We take a small number of these specialty projects per year because each one takes months of our time and energy. Priced by quote and custom conversation, so you know and we know that we're the right partner for the project.

Specialty Projects We Accept
- Full ghostwriting of a book, written with you from an outline or synopsis (Adult genre fiction including romance, romantasy, horror, thriller, fantasy, science fiction and select narrative nonfiction)
- Finishing a draft that's stalled, in your voice (Must be your voice; we do not work from AI-generated outlines or partial books)
- Series bible created to ensure continuity across a backlist
- Novellas, bonus epilogues and reader-magnet shorts
- All projects subject to a confidentialty and nondisclosure agreement and a full copyright release
What We Don’t Do
- Offer extremely short turnaround time on ghostwriting projects; we’d rather say no than rush it
- Anything promising sales, rankings, or a publishing deal
- Work on projects outside our expertise or experience. At this time, we do not work on Young Adult, Middle Grade, or Children's Book/Picture Books in any capacity except for author websites
- Projects without a realistic budget. Ghostwriting is extremely sensitive and complex. For that reason, it is the most time-consuming and expensive service we offer

Not a ghostwriting or specialty project?
Most books need an editor, coach, or something else. Reach out to us directly if you have a specialty project or service in mind.
