Ghostwriting
Some books begin with a blank page, while others begin with years of expertise, a remarkable story, boxes of source material, or an idea that has been carried around for far too long.
Reed Press pairs authors with professional ghostwriters and provides the editorial stewardship needed to turn those ideas, experiences and stories into a finished book.
From collaborative ghostwriting to deeply managed book development, we build each project around the book, the author, and the work required to bring it to life.
YOUR STORY. PROFESSIONALLY TOLD.
THE BOOK and voice are YOURS.
A ghostwritten book should still sound unmistakably like you.
We begin by listening. Through conversation, interviews, and source material, we learn how you think, how you speak, and what matters enough to become a book. Then we build the writing and editorial team around your project, shaping those ideas and experiences into a manuscript that remains distinctly yours.
the partnership
built around the book
No two books require the same process. Each ghostwriting engagement is shaped around the author, the material and the level of stewardship required to bring the book to completion.
