Have a great idea for a novel but don’t know where to start?

Plotted an entire series but can’t seem to put pen to paper?

Sitting on a dusty first draft that you want polished and made publishable?

Consider hiring a ghostwriter!

Why hire a ghostwriter?

While the spooky-chic witch in me might love the name “ghostwriter”, I actually think of what I do as closer to a cheerleader/editor. I will help to bring your vision to life while ensuring that your authentic voice sparkles on every page.

​

As your ghostwriter, I will be by your side through every step of the writing process. I can help you chisel your idea into a coherent and structured plot, flesh out characters and backstories, and do a deep dive into the heart of what your book is about. And of course, I’ll write the book - from your “once upon a time” to your “and they lived happily ever after” … or whatever ending awaits your protagonists.

​

My ghostwriting background is in romance, and this is primarily where I work. As a romance novelist, my writing is lusty, lush, and sweeping. With me, you’ll get lots of witty tête-à-têtes, smart heroines, snarky heroes, grand declarations of love, and tasteful yet tantalizing sex scenes. I am also happy to write a clean - or kinky! - romance, if that is what you envision. While I am open to most romance genres - paranormal, fantasy, sci-fi, modern, historical, and time-travel, to name a few - some, such as Christian, lie outside my area of expertise. I also have experience in literary fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, and historical fiction.

How does it work?

01

Consult

First, we will schedule an initial consultation to go over the scope and subject of the project. I will then put together a quote based on the desired manuscript length, the complexity of the research, your timeline, and editing requirements. I charge an hourly rate of €20. My quote will give you an idea of how many hours I predict the project will take. You can then decide if you would like to move forward. 

03

Write

Next, you get to sit back, relax, and let me write. We can schedule bi-weekly or monthly meetings to check in on the story’s progress and make adjustments. Edits and rewrites outside of the scope of the original quote will be charged extra.

05

Publish

Now it’s time for you to publish your manuscript! There are lots of ways to publish your novel. You can self-publish through sites like Amazon or Kobo, or go the more traditional route. I can give you suggestions and tips for both methods based on your goals and interest in self-marketing. Whichever you decide, you will be the sole owner and author of the material.

02

Brainstorm

Once the contracts are signed and we both feel good about everything, then we can start brainstorming! I will schedule another meeting for us to go over your story, your desired tone, and your dialogue style. For this step, it would be helpful if you provided me with an outline and character descriptions. Don’t have these? No problem! We can come up with them together. This is a fun step that allows us to get to know each other better and dive deeper into what your book is all about.

04

Edit

Once I have finished a draft, you can review it and make your own edits. This editing process will be included in the original quote. I can also go back and make changes during this stage.
