Write
Fiction ghostwriting for the novel you keep imagining
You know the world, the characters or the twist. A novelist who reads and writes in your genre plans the plot with you and writes the book chapter by chapter, with your input at every stage.
- A story idea you have carried for years
- Series authors who need more books
- Screenplays to adapt into novels
- Genre fiction
Why fiction needs a specialist
A thriller lives on pace and a romance lives on tension between two people. Readers of each genre know its conventions, and they notice when a writer does not. We match you with a writer who already reads and writes in your genre.
Before any chapter is written, you agree the premise, the main characters and a chapter-by-chapter plot outline. That plan is what keeps a long book consistent.

Your written quote lists exactly what is included for your book.
How much of the story do I need before we start?
Anything from a single idea to a full plot works. Some authors arrive with a premise, others with a detailed outline or a partial draft. We start from what you have.
Can you write a series?
Yes. For a series we create a series bible first, covering characters, timeline and world rules, so every book stays consistent.
How involved will I be?
As involved as you want to be. At minimum you approve the outline and review chapter batches. Many authors also join regular calls with their writer.
Is fiction ghostwriting allowed?
Yes. Ghostwriting is a long-standing practice in publishing. Credit, ownership and confidentiality are agreed in writing before work begins.
How long does a novel take?
It depends on length, genre and how quickly feedback moves. Your proposal sets out a schedule for each stage.
