Ghostwriting Services UK for Memoirs, Autobiographies and Business Books
You have a story worth telling or expertise worth sharing, but not the time or confidence to write a whole book. A professional ghostwriter can write it with you, in your voice.
We work with UK clients on memoirs, autobiographies, family life stories and business books. You talk; we listen, research and write. The copyright is assigned to you in writing, and the book is published under your name.

How Ghostwriting Works
Your Story, Your Voice, Our Writing
Good ghostwriting starts with listening. Your writer interviews you over several sessions, reads anything you have already written, and learns how you speak, what you care about and who the book is for.
From there, they build an outline you approve, then write the book chapter by chapter. You review each section, and your feedback shapes the next.
Books People Commission Us to Write

Business and expertise books for founders, consultants and professionals who want a book that builds authority in their field.
A free call to understand your book, your readers and what you want it to achieve.

UK Author FAQ
Hiring a Ghostwriter in the UK: Your Questions
How does ghostwriting work?
You share your story, knowledge or ideas through recorded interviews, notes and any material you already have. A professional writer shapes them into an outline, then writes the book chapter by chapter in your voice. You review and approve each stage, and the finished manuscript is yours to publish under your name.
Who owns the copyright in a ghostwritten book?
You should. Under UK law, the writer of a text is its first owner unless the copyright is transferred, and a transfer (assignment) of copyright must be in writing and signed. Our agreements assign the copyright in the finished manuscript to you, so the book is legally yours.
Will anyone know I used a ghostwriter?
Only if you choose to tell them. Our writers work under confidentiality terms, and the book is published under your name. Many well-known memoirs and business books are written with professional help.
Can you write a memoir or autobiography for a family member?
Yes. Life story books are often commissioned by families to preserve a parent's or grandparent's memories. We interview the subject, gently and at their pace, and write a book the whole family can keep.
How long does it take to ghostwrite a book?
It depends on the length of the book and how quickly interviews and reviews can be scheduled. We agree a realistic timeline with you before the project starts.
Will the book be written in British English?
Yes. Your book is written in British English and in your own voice, including the phrases and expressions that make it sound like you.
Can you help publish the book afterwards?
Yes. Once the manuscript is finished we can edit, design and publish it for you. See our UK self-publishing services.
