Book ghostwriting helps turn an author's ideas, experiences, or research into a manuscript. Greenfield Publishers scopes writing support around your starting material, intended reader, voice, and manuscript length. Contact us for pricing and a written proposal.
You do not need a finished manuscript to start a conversation. An outline, a set of notes, recorded memories, or several sample chapters can help establish the direction. Describe who the book is for, what it should help them understand, and which material is essential. Do not send confidential source material until file handling and any NDA have been agreed.
Agree the structure before the full draft
A clear outline helps make decisions about chapters, sequence, research, and length before drafting expands. A voice sample gives you something concrete to review. Your proposal should identify research responsibilities, the material you provide, approval stages, revision rounds, and what happens if the scope changes.
Keep writing and production distinct
Ghostwriting develops the manuscript. Editing, proofreading, cover design, interior formatting, and publishing are separate stages that may be combined in a proposal. The manuscript typing listed in our publishing packages means typing from your draft or notes; it should not be assumed to include creating an entire manuscript from an idea.
Questions authors ask
Is manuscript typing the same as ghostwriting?
No. Typing transfers your draft or notes into a manuscript. Ghostwriting develops the prose and structure with you. Ask for the writing work to be stated explicitly in your quote.
Can I begin with an incomplete draft?
Yes. Explain which chapters are written and which need development so the scope can distinguish new writing, rewriting, and editing.
Who owns the finished work?
Ownership, permissions, confidentiality, and final file delivery should be set out in your written agreement before drafting begins.
