Our book writing services pair you with a professional book writer who turns your idea, notes or outline into a finished manuscript in your voice. You stay in charge of the content, you approve every chapter, and the finished book is published under your name.
If you have been thinking “I should write my book” but have not found the time or the words, this is the shortcut. You can hire a writer for the whole book or for the part you are stuck on. This service is part of our ghostwriting services.
Hire a book writer: four ways we can help
- Full writing from an idea. You describe the book, and your writer builds and writes it.
- Writing from your outline or notes. You supply the structure, and your writer drafts the chapters.
- Finishing a manuscript you started. Your writer continues in your voice and completes the book.
- Expanding talks, articles or recordings. Your writer shapes material you already have into a book.
Professional book writers matched to your project
Fiction and non-fiction need different skills, so we match you with a writer who works in your area. For a story, see our fiction ghostwriting services, including novel writing services. For expertise, memoir or advice, see our non-fiction ghostwriting services.
Write my book for me: how the process works
- Conversation. You tell us about your book, your readers and your goals.
- Outline. We agree a chapter outline before any writing begins.
- Voice capture. Your writer learns how you speak and think, through interviews, notes or existing material.
- Drafting. You receive the book chapter by chapter and give feedback as you go.
- Finishing. After final revisions, the manuscript moves on to editing, design and publishing.
What you provide and what we provide
You provide the idea, your goals, your voice and your feedback. We provide the outline, the writing, the revisions and a project manager who keeps everything on schedule. Your agreement sets out ownership and credit clearly before any writing starts, and the book is published under your name.
Book length and timeline
Length depends on the type of book. Many non-fiction books run roughly 40,000 to 70,000 words, and many novels roughly 70,000 to 100,000. Writing a full-length book typically takes several months, depending on length, research and how quickly you review chapters. Your quote includes a delivery schedule.
Briefing a book writer
A good brief saves time and money. Describe the book in a few lines, name the readers and say what you want them to feel or do after reading. List the main points, scenes or stories you want included, and any you want left out. Share examples of tone you like. If you have existing material, send it. With a clear brief, the writer starts close to your vision and the first draft needs fewer changes.
Working in sections and giving feedback
We write in stages, so you read pieces as they appear. After the outline, you see the opening chapters, and the next sections follow. Feedback works best when it is specific: point to the line, say what is wrong and, if you can, what you would like instead. Frequent small reviews prevent large rewrites and keep the voice on target.
Length, schedule and pace
The length of a book depends on genre and goals. A short non-fiction book may run to tens of thousands of words, while many novels run longer. Your timeline depends on length, how quickly you give feedback and how many rounds you want. Your quote sets out a schedule, and we flag any change early so you can decide.
Why authors hire a book writer
People hire a writer for different reasons. Some have the expertise but not the time. Some have a story but find structure difficult. Others have started a book and lost momentum, or want a professional to polish the voice. None of these reasons is a weakness, and many successful books have had help. What matters is that the book says what you mean, in a way readers enjoy, and that you are proud to put your name on it.
Questions about book writing services
How much do book writing services cost?
The price depends on word count, genre, research and the number of revisions. We give you a written scope and a fixed price before work begins, and you can request a free quote with the details of your book.
Will the book sound like me?
That is the aim. Your writer works from your words, and you review the opening chapters to check the voice before the rest is written.
Who owns the finished book?
You do. The book is published under your name, and your agreement sets out ownership and credit.
Do I need to have written anything already?
No. A conversation is enough to begin. If you do have notes, chapters or recordings, they speed things up.
Can you also edit and publish the book?
Yes. We can take the manuscript through editing, design and publishing. See our book publishing services.
Do I own what you write?
Yes. Your agreement sets out ownership, and the manuscript is published under your name.
Can you write a book from my notes or recordings?
Yes. Many books start from voice notes, talks or interviews, and we shape them into chapters.
Can I change my mind about the plan?
Yes, within the scope of your agreement. We tell you if a change affects the schedule or the price.
Can a writer finish a book I started?
Yes. We read what you have, agree what to keep and complete the book in your voice.
Can I choose the writer?
We match a writer to your book and share relevant samples. If the fit does not feel right, tell us early and we will adjust.
