Become an Author- You Talk- I Listen

Let me share something significant I've observed as a ghostwriter for accomplished individuals: writing your book truly changes things. It even shifts how you see yourself.
The moment your finished book is out there, you become an author. It's a real transition.

You're no longer just CEO and Founder – now, you're also an Author. This becomes a lasting part of how people see you, something your family and colleagues will often mention.

Becoming an author brings a certain authority, builds credibility, increases how visible you are, expands your influence, leads to bigger opportunities, and attracts better clients.

New possibilities will arise. People will interact with you in a new way. Instead of just a business card, you'll have a book to share. Whether you want to advance your career or establish your lasting impact, the book is a significant starting point.

The potential is there. The only thing missing right now? You haven't written it. Yet.

Who Do I Work With?

 I have the privilege of helping individuals share their powerful journeys, the kind of stories that hold real insights. Often, these are narratives of transformation, where the challenges overcome and the successes achieved aren't just about money, but about growth in every sense – spiritual, emotional, creative, and the way they see the world.

If you've navigated a truly significant life, achieved something meaningful despite real difficulties, and you hope your book can offer genuine help and inspiration to others, then you and I should talk.

Perhaps you're at a high point in your career and see a book as the next step. Or maybe you feel it's the right time for your life's work to culminate in a book that shares your experiences.

You might be someone who's a capable writer but simply lacks the time to dedicate to a full book project. Or perhaps writing isn't your strength, but you know you have a story that deserves to be heard.

It could be that you've started writing, but you're finding it hard to shape everything into a compelling and clear narrative. Maybe you're even unsure if now is the right time, or if you have what it takes to bring a book to life.

If any of this resonates with you, then you're exactly the kind of person I work with.

Empathic listener and interview-first ghostwriter.

If there's one thing I really want you to take away from this page, it's this:
Honestly, the secret sauce to ghostwriting an amazing book isn't actually the writing itself. Thr real magic, the rocketfuel  to a successful book is the interviews.

I listen. I formulate. I get everything I need to write your book in 12-Weeks from first word to finish.

Think about it – when you team up with me as your ghostwriter, the heart and soul of it, the raw material, comes straight from you. Those interview sessions? That's where you make your biggest impact. It's where you shine and where I get those spontaneous bursts of creativity happening, where unexpected insights pop up, and where that amazing synergistic magic comes alive.

It's in those conversations that you truly speak your life story into being in a way that only you can.

Now, I might be a little different from some other ghostwriters out there. I really see myself as an interviewer, and listener  first, and then a writer. I’m a Ghostrategist( Gho-Strategist). I see concepts, squeezing the ideas to make the book productive and worthwhile.

Time and time again, I've seen that when you absolutely nail those engaging interviews, the writing that follows just can't help but shine with genuine life.

The trick is to really get those creative wheels turning before we even start putting pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard, so to speak.

Would you like to explore the option of attracting a major publishing company rather than self-publishing?

I can help, but so that you know, it's really tough to get a book published by a big publisher these days.

There are many factors and needs, such as acquiring a literary agent and having a professional book proposal.

Consumers have benefited from technology, especially the Internet and Amazon, while producers have yet to fare. Publishers are becoming highly selective because of a decrease in book profits.

However, it is achievable. Publishers publish new authors every day. If you're interested in attempting this path, I have extensive knowledge of the process and am eager to assist you in any way I can.

FACTS ABOUT ME:
I've ghostwritten for some of the world's most influential leaders, founders, and celebrities.

I've enjoyed eight #1 bestselling books.

Over 75% of my 37 ghostwritten books have been for influential and powerful women, all founders, CEOs, and leaders telling their incredible, life-changing stories.

WHY WORK WITH ME?
My clients describe me as an empathic listener and a book concept seeker and finder.

Nine-years of Ghostwriting and Publishing Experience

Keep in mind that my rates start at 0.75 cents per word and up to 1.25, depending on the word count and complexity of the book. If your book is an average 60,000-word, 250-page book, it will probably cost between $55,000 and $60,000 unless it varies significantly from the average in terms of length or research needs.

I will evenly allocate this price over the estimated book completion timeframe. What happens after six, eight, or even ten months? Equal installments over six, eight, or ten months. I keep it simple and stress-free.

This is how my process operates:

As soon as the agreement is signed, I will gather all the necessary information to draft a comprehensive blueprint outline, forming the basis of your book's foundational outline structure.

As I write the book chapter by chapter, we'll meet once a week to keep the project moving forward, gathering material from the outline.

I will only move on to the next if the previous chapter meets your expectations. We will shape and polish the chapter until it matches your vision.

With my nine years of ghostwriting experience, we can finish your book in six to eight months if we stick to the timeline.

After we finish, I'll even publish the book for you in coordination with my in-house publishing and editing team. Additionally, I will provide you with the first 20 copies of the finished book and guide you through every step of the publishing process!

MY FOCUS:
➡️Ghostwriting nonfiction and powerful and impactful memoir books.
➡️Consult, support, and coach you every step through self-publishing. I even throw in 20 copies if your book.
➡️To work with my team of editors, book designers, and publishing experts to publish your book professionally.

MY PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND:
My work for clients has been published by HarperCollins Leadership, HarperCollins Focus, Rowman & Littlefield, Blackstone, Highbridge, and other Big-Five New York publishers.

SOME PEOPLE I’VE WORKED WITH...AND WHAT THEY SAY…

… I wrote a family memoir by a high-level president of a large corporation with a net worth of 1 billion dollars operating in the fire and rescue industry.

“All I can say is if you get a chance to work with Jeffrey, grab it! He did a fantastic job!”

I had the privilege of ghostwriting an autobiography for a famous musician and guitarist who has sold over 15 million albums globally.

“From the day Jeff and I met, it was an instant friendship, and working with him was a breath of fresh air. He’s excellent at what he does.”

I had the honor of ghostwriting for a high-level NBC executive dealing with complex subjects such as drug addiction, heroin, suicide, and murder in her family.

"Jeff told my family's story in such a way that I know no one could have written it any better." He made my family shine.”

I ghostwrote a business book for a CEO, HSN, and QVC superstar with a company worth over 600 million dollars.

“As a CEO, I know talent, and Jeffrey has talent and a whole lot more. Jeffrey is the writer you want to hire. Don't waste time looking, get him to write your book.”

HOW DO WE START?
Send a message via email about your book idea or schedule a talk to determine whether we have the crucial "connect" every successful author-ghostwriter duo needs.

"Listening, writing, and interviewing aren't the only things that make a book. There is more."

Making an exceptional book takes strong collaboration, turning our conversations into books that leave long-standing legacies.

"As an empathic memoir ghostwriter, the key to capturing your voice is to get the storytelling gears in motion by finding the magic and message by compassionately listening to bring those stories to life."

As a professional ghostwriter, I am a chameleon, adapting to capture your emotions, memories, and intellect with your stories. I am versatile, compassionate, a tactful interviewer, a seeker of sincerity, and a skilled storyteller.

More importantly, I have a diverse background in publishing, with nearly a decade of experience helping authors like you who have beaten the odds and aspire to make their book dreams real, leaving a legacy to help others.

(Depending on the project details, research, size of book, and subject, my fees range between $0.75 and $1.25 per word.)
