Isabella Talbott – Ghostwriter

Helping business leaders, coaches, and entrepreneurs become thought leaders and generate leads through written narrative.

Overview

I’ve spent more than half a decade writing books with business leaders and specialize in business, leadership, and coaching projects.

Writing has been a lifelong hobby of mine. I began ghostwriting nonfiction books as a side gig while running my massage practice. Over time, I focused more and more of my attention on writing, and my ghostwriting career took off, morphing from a few small opportunities to a sustained and steady career.

I’m proud to bring my goal of helping and healing to book writing, and at this point I’ve ghostwritten over 30 books. Among my ghostwriting projects:

A book with a high-performance coach to entrepreneurs and C-suite executives that won multiple awards.

An investing and financial empowerment book that generated national media coverage, including an interview on the NYSE.

A tender, heartfelt family memoir with a serial entrepreneur and USA-Today bestselling author.

A book about transforming an organization’s behavioral marketing with a renowned behavioral strategist and marketing expert turned keynote speaker.

A book about women’s empowerment with a female entrepreneur and TEDx speaker.

A how-to book for healthcare professionals seeking to run a successful practice with a doctor of Chinese Medicine and cofounder of a medical billing company.

A leadership mindset book with a streetwear brand creator and mindset coach.

A survivor’s account of finding healing after being kidnapped and held captive with a podcaster who specializes in trauma and PTSD.

I utilize fiction writing and nonfiction writing techniques to help authors further their brand and enhance their business opportunities. My style straddles the line between memoir writing and business book writing. Ultimately, your personal experiences, thoughts and insights contribute to the success of your book. My ghostwriting process starts with hook development, content strategy and outline creation, followed by consistent meetings to discuss and build out the manuscript. I’m adept at delivering high-quality manuscripts under tight timelines and managing multiple concurrent projects, and I’m honored to help business leaders, entrepreneurs and coaches find their voice and get in touch with their stories.
