What My Clients Say About Me

“Stephen has been more than a writer for me—he has been a partner. He captures my voice and puts it into writing in ways that I simply cannot. His gift has increased my productivity and saved me hundreds of hours, and without him our book probably would not have become a New York Times bestseller. In fact, I first contracted him as a ghostwriter, but he added so much original depth and insight that I made him a co-author.”

Garrett Gunderson

New York Times bestselling author of Killing Sacred Cows

“I am a very, very fussy customer and Stephen was amazing to work with…The end result of our writing partnership is that my book has been a top 10 bestselling book in Australia 6 months running, and I could not be more proud of the content. Stephen is a man of integrity and is insightful, wise, unbelievably well-read, a good man, and talented beyond belief. He just gets it. Stephen is absolutely amazing as both a writer and as a human being.”

Michael Bunting

Globally-Recognized Expert on Mindful Leadership and Author of The Mindful Leader

“I cannot say enough good things about this human being. For years I wanted to write a book but didn’t know where to start. With Stephen’s guidance and overwhelming capacity, we’ve been able to produce two books together, with a third one on the way…our books have won 8 book awards and have been Amazon bestsellers in several categories. This would never have happened without Stephen’s remarkable abilities. To say that I recommend him is an understatement. You’re crazy not to work with him if you have the chance...”

What Does It Cost?

Creating a world-class book is a serious investment in your legacy, credibility, and future opportunities.

Most clients invest between $60,000 and $100,000 for a complete ghostwriting and publishing experience.

This includes every step from concept to finished manuscript, with a clear, milestone-based process and no hidden fees.

It can also include book publishing and book marketing services.

You Might Be Wondering...

Will the book sound like me?

As all my clients have been, you’ll be shocked by how well your book will sound like you. Every project begins with deep interviews designed to capture your personality, rhythm, and vocabulary. My goal is to make sure your readers can’t tell where your voice ends and my writing begins.

How much involvement is required from me?

I handle the heavy lifting, but your input is essential. The honest truth is that writing, publishing, promoting, and marketing a book is one of the hardest things you’ll ever do, and you need to be prepared for that. See the full process here.

How long does the process take?

A full ghostwriting engagement typically takes six to 12 months from our first call to final manuscript. The pace depends on your availability for interviews and feedback, as well as any additional editing or publishing services you choose.

Do I own the rights to the book?

Absolutely. You retain 100% of the rights and royalties. Your name goes on the cover and I remain invisible behind the scenes.

Can you help me publish and market the book?

Yes. I offer optional book publishing and book marketing services so you can move from manuscript to launch seamlessly. Whether you want design, distribution, or strategy, I can coordinate it all for you.

What kinds of books do you ghostwrite?

I specialize in nonfiction — including leadership, entrepreneurship, personal development, finance, psychology, and memoir. If your message has depth, insight, or purpose, I can help you bring it to life.

How do we get started?

It begins with a simple conversation. We’ll discuss your goals, ideas, and timeline to see if we’re a good fit. From there, I’ll outline next steps and a clear path forward.
