Aly Hawkins – Ghostwriter

With the right coach, you can do this! Each author’s voice is uniquely their own. Let me help you find yours and get it on the page.

Overview

I've worked in publishing for almost two decades and have experience at every point on the timeline of book development. Along the way, I've discovered that COLLABORATION IS MY JAM. My wheelhouse of expertise is personal or spiritual memoir and spiritual, religious, and self-help nonfiction, but I also have significant experience with business/leadership books and academic theology, biblical studies, and church history.


**I am on hiatus from big ghostwriting projects, but let's put our heads and hearts together and figure out how to birth your book.**


• Consulting and author coaching •

With a solid outline and work plan, you can do this. Let’s think through your book’s structure, content, and overall flow, and put together a schedule of reachable benchmarks so you can get that sucker written. We’ll even check in along the way for encouragement and accountability.


• Substantive editing •

Sometimes a book needs a doctor to fix what’s broken so it can become the page-turner it’s meant to be. If you’ve got a complete or near-complete manuscript that needs significant restructuring and/or rewriting, the doctor is in. (Hint: It’s me.)
