We find, filter, train and manage talented and reliable ghostwriters so that you can delight your fans, hit publish more often and scale your business.
Through our rigorous recruitment and feedback process, we take the risk out of using ghostwriters. You only pay for the words you sign off on, once you’ve selected a writer you want to try.
Since this takes a significant investment upfront – which we cover – we only work with people who are ready to scale their revenue, and in a position to make this strategy work long term.

The process in a nutshell
Life as a fiction writer can be tough.
Don’t get me wrong – it has its perks, like working from home in your pjs all day, and dreaming up cool stuff to wow your fans with.
But spending that many hours of hard, focused attention at a keyboard, day after day, month after month, can be exhausting — especially over multiple years.
In fact, those who write full time, sooner or later, burn out.
Maybe you’re already there?
Or maybe you’re just looking ahead and watching how the Amazon marketplace for books is becoming more and more competitive, and the need to produce new books is getting even more intense as you realize that even publishing once a month you’re falling behind.
It’s an uphill struggle just to stay where you are in the charts and with your income reports… and meanwhile you watch your competitors release book after book, hit after hit, all the time taking more and more of your readers.
The number of times you hit publish is proportional to your income.
Writing faster is your only way out.
And yet, there are obvious physical limits to how fast a single human being can write. Even if you manage to produce 10k words per day – how many days in a month can you keep that pace? And for how many months?
And what about when 10k per day isn’t cutting it.
Something has to give…
Couple in the fact that as a creative go-getter…
… you likely you have waaay too many ideas and books to write and only one of you to write them.
It doesn’t take a naturopath to see that this is a recipe for burn out, over load and ultimately a CRASH.
(And a drop in income.)
But what if I told you that there are ways to multiple yourself – and therefore leverage your ideas and your efforts – to get more books out?
A way that means that you get to tell your stories your way…
A way that means you can keep total control and ownership…
Well, my authorly, business-savvy friend, there *is* a way.
And many people are already doing it.
People you would never suspect.
But they keep it quiet, because to the artisan it is somewhat taboo.
(Even though all the artists from DaVinci to Michael Angelo would use this exact same strategy to create their works of art! More on this later…)
“So what is this mysterious strategy?”
Well, the short answer is: it involves hiring ghost writers to implement your vision.
Now of course, you’re an artist. Your work is deeply personal to you. How can a ghostwriter produce work that is worthy of your name?
You don’t want to just put out books that aren’t representative of all the blood, sweat and tears you’ve poured over your keyboard thus far. Works that don’t adhere to your unique voice and thinking style that you’ve developed over all this time…
Work that your readers wouldn’t appreciate.
So how do we alleviate the obvious challenges, so we can publish time and again, and still knocks your readers’ socks off?
Enter: THE GHOSTWRITING WRANGLERS
Maybe you’ve already tried working with ghost writers before.
It can be tough.
Great writers are almost impossible to find. They talk a big game. They don’t write as you do, and they charge a lot of money, and deliver late.
I know.
I’ve been there.
I’ve had some disasters I could tell you about.
But over the last few years I’ve developed a process that has essentially overcome all these issues.
Plus, the Ghost Wranglers do all the leg work and management for you.
Here’s the process we’ve been using over multiple series, with multiple clients just like you:
1. Recruiting
2. Filtering
3. Training
4. Producing
5. Quality control
I’m going to expand on these stages of the process in a moment. But first we should talk about how legit this is in the market place.
Because, after all, there’s probably a tiny voice in the back of your brain screaming something like:
“Isn’t using ghostwriters taboo in writing circles?”
Yeah, it is.
With some writers. Depends on who you talk to.
But it is like the reverse of sex when you’re a teenager. With sex, everyone is talking about it and no one is doing it.
In indie publishing, it’s the opposite: everyone is doing it while NO ONE is talking about it.
The reality is, a lot of big names you probably know and love have been using this system for YEARS – producing and publishing an inhuman number of books, and reaping the rewards.
And unless you’re producing at this level and this speed, you’re playing on a completely different playing field. A playing field where the proportion of page reads you can grab are only ever going to be limited.
The ceiling of your earning power is exactly where it is now – where you’re writing all the words you possibly can in a month, and every productive hour is taken up.
But there is another way.
And things are certainly changing with respect to the taboo.
Readers and writers alike are cottoning onto the fact that no one can produce the sheer number of books needed to keep up with the publishing strategies a number of the big names are doing.
Especially not on their own, consistently month after month, year after year.
“But a ghostwriter won’t be able to write like I can”
There may be an element of truth to this, and I myself started using ghost writers with this in mind.
However, using the process that I and my team have been developing over the years, it’s possible to get pretty damn close.
Some people choose to give the final manuscript a light punch, but after a few books with the same writer, they tend not to bother, because it’s hardly necessary.
The readers wouldn’t (and don’t!) notice the difference.
But this is because of the careful selection process, the refining and training and quality control we have in place.
Not only that, but if you’ve got a new series, you have a little more wiggle room in terms of voice. Plus, a lot of out clients use this as a money play and will use a new pen name to get attention from new fans and new sections of the market.
“Quality is important to me”
And it needs to be.
There are so many crappy books out there, and then with the advent of AI decimating the Kindle Unlimited pool, simply writing to a higher standard is one sure way to distinguish yourself.
Using our quality control sequence, we ensure that nothing is delivered that doesn’t meet your standards.
In fact, you have sign off on each chunk of writing, every step of the way. It’s only once you’re confident that you’re getting what you want, and you want to go faster that we start delivering bigger chunks.
Besides, most of the writers that make it through out onboarding and filtering process are able to learn what you like and what you don’t like pretty quickly.
We also provide inhouse support, if you want it, to help feedback to and train the writers, (and punchers, and proof readers), to ensure the product you’re getting at the end is something you’re thrilled with.
Here’s the process in a nutshell:
1. Recruiting
This is the first hurdle you’ll face, trying to do this on your own. Where do you find ghost writers? – is the first question I get asked. The reality is, this is the wrong question.
What should this question be?
“Where do you find GREAT ghost writers?”
Over the last several years we’ve been working with a number of ghost writers and have built up a database of people who’s writing we like, who deliver on time, and who we can train to write in a person’s voice.
This is the first place we go when someone asks us to manage a project for them. However, we’re constantly building this database, and finding writers for all kinds of niche projects.
If you’ve got the project, we can find the writer for it!
2. Filtering
As a writer, you’ve got enough to do without having to wade through tons of applications and samples.
We do the heavy lifting for you, and only send you the samples we think are potentially going to work for you.
After a few iterations of feedback, we’re pretty good at nailing down the characteristics of the perfect ghost writer, and from there we can just refine what we send you as options.
3. Training
This is another place where other folks fall foul.
The reality is, no matter how badass a writer is, it’s going to take some trial and error to get them mimicking your voice and your way of hitting the beats precisely.
That’s where feedback comes in.
Once we’ve been through samples and you’ve selected your writer, this is where the real honing starts.
We get your ghost to start writing the first chapter of your beats.
Then we send it to you for review.
You go through it, track changes and tweak it to your voice.
And we push it back to the ghost, giving them rules and tips on how to get their work closer to what you’re looking for.
4. Producing
Once the writer has your voice nailed we move to 10k words a batch and then more… cutting down the time to delivery, but also the amount of involvement you have to have at each stage.
Remember, your time is precious, and we’re here to both optimize and do the heavy lifting.
5. Quality control
With your feedback we can keep training the writer and getting them closer and closer to a situation where you’re proud to put the content out.
In fact, in some instances we’ve had people look at a chapter and wondered if they wrote it themselves and just forgot!
We can also supply you with a puncher (copy editor) and proof reader, making this process even easier.
We can also either use your beats, or you can use one of our trained beats writers.
You establish the gist of what you want to create and then our beats writers (BEAT GHOSTS?! – sounds like purple ghosts…) pull it down into a chapter by chapter (or scene by scene) story, complete with world note and character profiles.
After your approval or tweaks, we hand these off to the writer and three weeks later you can have a manuscript in your hand.
It’s as easy as that.
In no time you can be pressing PUBISH on more books.
Books you didn’t have to bleed on the page for.
Books you enjoyed crafting and telling, just without all the hard work and long hours.
Imagine being able to double the number of books you publish now…
In some ways it means doubling your income.
But in reality there is a point on the curve where you’ll experience geometric growth because of the leverage you’ll get from Amazon.
Ultimately this means more stories, more flow, and more money in your bank account.
This is the difference between earning $10k pm (if you’re lucky) and $50k, $60k $100k plus.
Not only that, but just like any other business, if you can put yourself in the position where you’re not doing all the work yourself, you’re able to see the forest for the trees.
You can spend more time working ‘on’ the business, rather than in it.
You can build an asset that produces money, month after month.
Year after year.
Which if you wanted to, you could ultimately sell – because YOU ARE NOT the business.
The business is an asset, which you own.
If you ever dreamed about selling more books, telling more stories, making more money AND having the time and freedom to do everything you want (beyond writing at a desk all day), then this is your next step forward
