Work with Me / Ghostwriting

Ghostwriting built around voice, structure and a clear brief.

I write fiction and selected nonfiction for clients who need more than words on a page: a consistent voice, a workable narrative structure and a collaborative process that can sustain a complete manuscript.

What I offer

Long-form writing shaped to the project.

Ghostwriting can begin with a detailed outline, an early concept or an existing manuscript. Before writing starts, we define the genre, audience, voice, scope and level of creative development required.

Romance

Character-led romance with emotional progression, scene-level tension and consistent point of view.

Contemporary fiction

Modern, relationship-driven stories developed from a brief, plot or partial manuscript.

Individual fiction projects

Selected projects in adjacent genres where the concept, voice and collaboration are a strong fit.

Nonfiction by agreement

Structured, accessible book projects based on supplied expertise, research material or a defined content plan.

Ways to collaborate

Different starting points need different scopes.

A project does not need to arrive in perfect condition. It does need enough clarity for us to agree what I am responsible for creating.

Write from an existing plot

You provide the approved outline, character information and references; I turn them into chapters or a complete manuscript.

Develop from a core idea

We establish premise, characters, structure and narrative direction before the manuscript phase begins.

Continue an existing manuscript

I study the existing voice and material, identify continuity requirements and continue within an agreed framework.

Work in chapters or milestones

Larger projects can be divided into reviewable sections so feedback is integrated before the next stage.

Writing priorities

What I pay attention to.

Good ghostwriting should feel internally consistent and appropriate to the project—not recognisably written in someone else’s default voice.

Voice

Tone, perspective and diction that fit the agreed reader and genre.

Character

Motivation, emotional logic and development across scenes and chapters.

Continuity

Reliable handling of facts, timeline, relationships and open narrative threads.

Scene function

Every scene should change something: information, emotion, tension or decision.

Reader flow

Pacing and transitions that support immersion without flattening the prose.

Communication

Clear approvals and feedback at the points where they can still shape the work.

Before we begin

What helps me review your project.

  • A short project description and intended audience
  • Genre, approximate word count and current stage
  • Any plot, sample chapters, character notes or reference material
  • Your preferred timeline and required deliverables
  • Examples that clarify the intended tone—not text to imitate

Rights, confidentiality, revision scope and the use of supplied material are agreed before work begins.

Process

A manuscript is easier to manage in defined stages.

The exact process depends on the scope, but larger projects normally use milestones and approval points.

Inquiry

Project, material, length and timeline.

Review

Fit, risks and missing information.

Proposal

Scope, price, rights and milestones.

Writing

Delivery and feedback by agreed stages.

Finalisation

Approved revisions and final files.

After the draft

Does the manuscript already exist?

If the main text is written but needs structural or stylistic development, editing may be the better starting point.
