Bill Murphy Jr. – Ghostwriter

I'm an experienced author and ghostwriter, and I'd be happy to talk about your project.I started out in writing business as the lead assistant to Bob Woodward of The Washington Post, helping him to write two New York Times bestsellers. From, there I was a reporter in Iraq for the Post during the war there, and I went on to write several books of my own.I also started ghostwriting. I've worked primarily on business books, memoirs, and family histories. I'm also an attorney and a veteran, so legal topics and military would be a great fit, too. Besides books, I've also ghostwritten speeches, articles, columns and blog posts for clients.Every project I take on is different, but here are some things you can be assured of:1. I work with clients to make the whole experience painless, enjoyable, and productive. In most cases, you don't have to write a word if you don't want to; I'll do all the work. 2. I adjust the time commitment to match your availability and level of interest. Usually, I'll conduct a series of interviews with you to figure out the content, outline, tone, arc, and voice. To the extent original research is needed, I can handle that as well. 3. A majority of books are now self-published, or hybrid-published. If you want to do that, fantastic. That said, there are still benefits to working with a traditional publisher, and I can guide you through that (very different) process to maximize success.4. Depending on your goals and initial situation, I can also work with you to build your profile and platform before you write and market the book. This is often a lot of fun and very rewarding.Whether you work with me or someone else, I wish you great success with your project.
