About this service

Summary

When you hand me your concept, character sketches, or rough outline, I transform them into a market-ready manuscript through my proven process. ⬇️
First, I build a detailed story architecture that strategically places genre tropes readers crave while adding fresh twists, then I calibrate your unique voice throughout every chapter for seamless brand integration, and finally deliver not just a polished manuscript but also publication-ready blurbs and developmental notes - everything you need to launch confidently without hiring additional freelancers or facing costly revisions.

FAQs

  • What do I need to provide to get started?

    Just your story idea - even if it’s a sentence, trope, or vibe. I’ll guide you through a few questions about genre, tone, and characters to shape the concept.

  • How long does it take to complete an outline or book?

    Outlines usually take 2–7 days, depending on length and detail. Full manuscripts take longer - typically 1-6 weeks, depending on scope and feedback rounds.

  • Do I own the rights to the story?

    Yes! Once payment is complete, all rights and credits belong fully to you. I remain a ghostwriter while your name goes on the book!

  • What genres do you write in?

    I specialize in romance, thriller, fantasy, and character-driven drama - but I’m open to exploring other genres with the right brief.

  • Will the story match my tone and vision?

    Absolutely. I adapt to your desired voice, mood, and pacing. You can provide samples, references, or vibes.

  • Can you help if I only have a vague idea?

    Yes! I love building from scratch. I can help refine your concept, identify tropes, and shape it into a strong outline or story framework.

  • Do you offer revisions?

    Yes - sufficient revisions are included to adjust pacing, tone, or direction after delivery.

  • Will my project stay confidential?

    Every client project I take on is kept 100% confidential - your ideas, your book, your career remain yours alone. Every client’s story stays private. I never reuse or share client materials.

  • Can you also write the full book after the outline?

    Yes! Many clients start with an outline and then hire me for the full ghostwriting. You can easily upgrade your project later.
