Ghostwriting
Ghostwriting Services
At Forlorn Hope Publishing, our ghostwriting services are designed to work with you to transform your ideas into a compelling manuscript. Whether you have a basic concept or detailed notes, or anything in between, our professional ghostwriters will work closely with you to bring your story to life while maintaining your unique voice and vision.
We understand that every author has a distinct style, and our goal is to capture and amplify that style to create a manuscript that truly represents your vision. Our ghostwriters are experienced in a variety of genres, including fiction, non-fiction, memoirs, and more rigid professional writing, ensuring that we meet your standards.
About That Book You’ve Always Wanted to Write
We have authored books for and with clients. Sometimes at the same time. That is, we’ve been hired to ‘ghostwrite’ from scratch but ended up writing most of it with the client.
We have authored books based on an idea then left to our own devices to figure the rest out.
We have been handed ten years’ worth of notes scrawled on everything from yellow legal pads to multi-colored Post-it notes, in pencil and every shade of pen and permanent marker and asked to ‘turn it into something.‘
We’ve been sheepishly handed a deep, heavy stationary box filled to the top with neatly typed pages, no immediate evidence of punctuation evident, with a grin and a “look, it’s all in there . . . someplace.” After noting that it wasn’t 300+ pages of “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy” over and over again we took it . . . and turned it into a book.
A client had an idea, we Zoomed/talked/texted every week for six months . . . and turned it into a book complete with dialogue.
If you want to publish a book, we’ll work with you to make it a reality.
Process of Ghostwriting
Initial Consultation
We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your project, goals, and preferences. This initial discussion helps us capture your voice and vision accurately. During this consultation, we discuss your ideas, the book's structure, and any specific requirements you have. This is also the time for you to share any reference materials, previous drafts, or outlines that you have prepared. We aim to create a comfortable and collaborative environment where you can freely express your ideas and expectations.
Outline Creation
Based on our consultation, we create a comprehensive outline for your book. The outline is a roadmap for the writing process, ensuring a clear and structured approach. We ensure that the outline aligns with your vision and includes key plot points, character arcs, and major themes. The outline also helps in setting a timeline for the completion of each chapter or section. Our goal is to provide a solid foundation that will guide the writing process and keep the project on track.
One important thing to remember about book outlines: They are never written in stone. Part of the writing process – an exciting part of the process – is suddenly realizing there are other directions to go in. We can promise that it will happen to you – we look forward to exploring it with you.
Writing and Collaboration
Our writers start writing your manuscript, maintaining regular communication with you for feedback and revisions. The collaborative process ensures the manuscript aligns with your expectations. We provide regular updates and drafts that allow you to review and provide feedback at every stage – at your convenience. This iterative process ensures that the final manuscript meets your vision and expectations.
We value your input and collaborate closely with you to refine the manuscript, incorporating your suggestions and addressing any concerns you may have.
Review and Revisions
Once the first draft is complete, we conduct a thorough review and make necessary revisions. Your feedback is crucial at this stage to refine the manuscript. We focus on improving the flow, coherence, and overall quality of the manuscript. This stage may involve multiple rounds of revisions to ensure the final product is polished and ready for publication. Our editors meticulously go through the manuscript to enhance its readability and ensure that it meets the highest standards of quality.
Final Manuscript
After incorporating all revisions, we finalize the manuscript, ready for the next steps in the publishing process. We make certain that the final manuscript is formatted correctly and free from any errors. At this point, the manuscript is ready for submission to our editing team or directly to the publishing platforms, depending on your needs. Our goal is to deliver a manuscript that you can be proud of and that will resonate with your readers.
Pricing and Packages
We offer customized packages for the unique projects our clients bring us. Talk or drop a us a line and let’s talk about what you need. Our pricing is always transparent, and we ensure that you receive value for your investment.
