Book & Long-Form Ghostwriting Retainer (Monthly)Victor T Tam Yan
You've been "writing a book" for years. Let's actually finish it.
You have the expertise. The stories. The framework. What you don't have is 3 months of uninterrupted writing time. So the book stays in your head, in scattered Google Docs, in voice notes you recorded at 2am and never transcribed.
Meanwhile, your competitors published theirs. They're getting speaking invitations, podcast features, and inbound leads from a book that positions them as the authority in your space. The book you haven't written yet.
Let's fix that.
What this retainer is
A dedicated monthly ghostwriting partnership for book-length and large-scale writing projects. You bring the ideas, expertise, and vision. I bring the structure, the craft, and the discipline to ship.
This isn't a one-off gig. It's an ongoing engagement where I become your writing partner for the duration of the project. We work in a steady rhythm: weekly deliveries, regular check-ins, and a clear timeline from outline to finished manuscript.
Output: Up to 1,000 polished words per hour, with monthly hour blocks tailored to your project timeline and budget. Whether you need 20 hours a month or 40, we build a cadence that gets the book done without burning either of us out.
What I ghostwrite on retainer
Business books (thought leadership, methodology books, "here's how I built it" narratives)
Nonfiction manuscripts (self-help, personal development, industry guides, how-to books)
Memoirs & autobiographies (your life story, told with narrative craft and emotional precision)
Novels & fiction (if you have the plot and characters, I have the prose)
Large-scale documentation projects (multi-chapter product docs, comprehensive training manuals, enterprise-level SOPs)
Research-backed reports & white paper series (ongoing content programs that need consistent, high-quality output)
How the retainer works
Month 1: Foundation
Deep Intake & Vision Session: A 60-90 minute session where I learn everything: your story, your audience, your goals, your voice, your non-negotiables. This is the most important hour of the entire project.
Full Book Outline & Chapter Architecture: I build the complete structural blueprint. Every chapter mapped, every arc planned, every transition designed. You approve the skeleton before I write a word.
Voice Calibration & Sample Chapter: I write the first chapter (or a key section) so you can see your ideas in polished prose. We calibrate tone, pacing, and style before scaling up.
Month 2+: Production
Weekly Chapter Deliveries: Consistent output on a predictable schedule. You review each delivery and give feedback. I refine and move forward.
Ongoing Revision Cycles: Every delivery includes a revision pass. Your feedback shapes the next chapter. The manuscript evolves with your input, not in isolation.
Monthly Check-In & Progress Review: We review what's done, what's next, and whether the timeline needs adjusting. No surprises.
Final Month: Polish & Delivery
Full Manuscript Review: Once all chapters are drafted, I do a complete read-through for consistency, flow, and narrative coherence.
Final Revisions & Handoff: The finished manuscript delivered in Google Doc and Word format, ready for your editor, publisher, or self-publishing platform.
How I write your book
I use my 5-Step Psychological Trigger Framework (built on PAS & AIDA with deep attention to branding elements) to structure every chapter for maximum reader engagement. Even nonfiction books need narrative tension, emotional hooks, and clear payoffs. I make sure every chapter earns the next one.
Who this retainer is for
Founders who want a book that positions them as the authority in their space
Executives & consultants who need a book for speaking, credibility, or business development
Coaches & experts who have a methodology worth documenting in book form
Anyone with a large-scale writing project that needs consistent, dedicated ghostwriting over multiple months
