Hire a Professional Ghostwriter for Your Memoir or Nonfiction Book
(NOTE: I am currently accepting new clients. I only work with a select few at a time, but as of now–August 2026–my availability is open.)
Most people who come to me have lived a life they’d like to see turned into a book—or they have an idea that’s grown out of it.
Some have already considered writing the book themselves—or using AI tools to help.
Well, that’s understandable. But the hard part isn’t putting words on the page. Anybody (even AI) can do that. It’s turning those words into a book that works—something gripping, something page-turning, something genuine, something valuable.
That’s where most do-it-yourself attempts fail.
I’ve ghostwritten over 50 books over the course of more than 20 years, with a particular focus on memoir, along with various nonfiction projects. What I provide is not just writing, but experience: knowing how to shape a story, how to pace it, how to make it engaging, and how to turn a life or an idea into something that actually holds together as a book. I’m the guy to talk to if you’re looking for more than a “legacy” memoir. If you want something of substance. Something important.
And mine is a full-service process. I can take your project from the stage of a mere idea floating in your head all the way to a printed book available to the world on Amazon and beyond.
Most projects run $45,000, which includes writing, editing, and proofreading. A polished, professional manuscript that you’ll be proud of.
And that’s not all! I also include the self-publishing process, helping you get your book on Amazon and elsewhere. (I even supply an author website for you at my expense.)
If all this sounds like what you’re looking for, LEARN HOW I DO IT.
I’m also the instructor of an online memoir course, a writing coach, and the author of Writing Memoir: The Practical Guide to Writing and Publishing the Story of Your Life.

Common Questions:
What will it cost me to have you write my book?
Unless you anticipate your book being significantly different from the norm (much longer, for instance, or perhaps requiring lots of research) you can expect a fee of $45,000. This includes writing, editing, and proofreading. A polished, professional manuscript that you’ll be proud to call your own. And not only that, I’ll even provide, at no extra charge, the self-publishing steps necessary for you to get your book on Amazon and elsewhere!
Are you willing to meet with me personally to write the book?
Willing? I insist upon it. Once we get started, I will come to you at my expense (anywhere in the Continental United States or Canada), to make sure we get off to a flying start. (Please don’t hire a ghostwriter who’s unwilling to do this!) OR, if you’d rather come to me in beautiful and charming Greenville, South Carolina, I will put you up for two nights (my treat) at the elegant and historic Westin Poinsett right on Main Street, and very close to my office.
What about revisions?
Included! I never lose sight of the fact that this is YOUR book. Consequently, you have to be completely satisfied with it. We’ll keep tweaking until it’s just how you want it. That’s what a good ghostwriter does!
