Do you have a powerful story idea but not the time or experience to turn it into a compelling novel? I provide professional ghostwriting services for clients who want their story written to a publishable standard.
I specialise in fiction writing, combining strong narrative craft with genre expertise to create gripping, believable stories that keep readers turning pages.
My approach combines academic expertise and real-world success to deliver manuscripts that captivate readers and bring your vision to life.
Who is this service for?
This service is ideal for clients who:
- Have strong story ideas but little time or experience to write a full novel
- Want a manuscript that reads professionally from start to finish
- Are seeking a skilled collaborator to bring their vision to life
- Value discretion and professionalism, and a bespoke, collaborative process
What will I receive?
Each project is different and as such is tailored to the client’s needs, but typically this service includes:
- Concept development and story consultation
- Plot and structure planning
- Character development and voice consistency
- Full manuscript writing
- Story structure and outline creation
- Three revision rounds to ensure your vision is realised
- Professional guidance on tone, pacing, and genre conventions
All work produced is original, confidential, and written specifically for you without the use of large language models or artificial intelligence.
Project investment guide
Final quotes depend on scope, research requirements, and timeline, but here is a guide to your investment.
| Project length | Client investment | Notes |
| Up to 20,000 words | £6,000 – £10,000 | Novellas and clients seeking support with high-quality openings |
| 20,000 – 40,000 words | £10,000 – £25,000 | Longer novellas, shorter novels |
| 40,000 – 60,000 words | £20,000 – £40,000 | Shorter to standard length novels |
| 60,000 – 80,000 words | £25,000 – £60,000 | Full-length novels. Most clients will fall here |
For projects exceeding 80,000 words, please contact me using the form at the bottom of this page for a bespoke quote. At this length, the narrative architecture and character arcs require a higher level of structural management. This means that the project moves into Epic-Length Development, and pricing will reflect the increased editorial oversight and production time required.

- Speedy delivery will be an additional 25% of the agreed quote
