Hire the best ghostwriters in the UK

Got a brilliant idea for a book, but not enough time or know-how to manifest it yourself? Feel like you have an amazing life story to tell, but struggle to find the words to tell it? Or do you simply need a bit of assistance with a book that’s come to a grinding halt?

Enter the ghostwriter, your new best friend. A ghostwriter will help you find your purpose and plot your book — even do the writing for you, if that’s what you require. But a good ghostwriter is so much more than a proxy; they’re a crucial collaborator who can lift both you and your book to new heights of success. The best ghostwriters seamlessly integrate their expertise so your book shines brighter than ever, yet still retains a narrative voice that’s utterly unique to you.

Because you’ll have to work together throughout the entire process, you need a ghostwriter who’s a perfect match in terms of both writing and collaborative style. But where can you find such a ghostwriter for hire in the UK — especially when so many ghostwriters aren’t allowed to discuss their previous clients?

That’s where Reedsy comes in. Sign up today to view professional ghostwriters’ portfolios, complete with detailed descriptions (and even some permissible titles) of their past work. You can request a writing sample to get a better sense of their style, and request a quote when you’re ready to do business with them. A little searching and you’re bound to find someone who can bring your book roaring to life — better than you ever imagined it.
