Jeff Raderstrong

Jeff Raderstrong – Ghostwriter

Ghostwriter specializing in the intersection of business and social impact. Published in Washington Post, Forbes, MarketWatch, AP and more.

Overview

I'm currently booking projects for the second half of 2025! Reach out if you want to discuss your book and a potential collaboration. My standard fee for a full book manuscript is $45,000.



I'm a ghostwriter and editor that exclusively works with leaders and authors at the intersection of social impact, leadership and business. I not only create compelling content, but use that process to help authors think strategically about messaging and positioning within their industry, elevating their brand and increasing their thought leadership.


I've worked with everyone from a director of a community health nonprofit to a pioneer of Web 1.0 to an international investor. I've helped my authors get published in Forbes, MSNBC, Newsweek, MarketWatch, The Washington Post and more. I've worked on books for major publishers like Simon & Schuster, McGraw Hill, and Berrett-Koehler, including crafting successful book proposals.


Here are testimonials from some of my clients:


"I can say without reservation that [Jeff’s] skill and professionalism are unparalleled. He managed to capture my voice perfectly, all while elevating the writing to a level I couldn't have achieved on my own. His attention to detail, consistency, and dedication to getting the story right were remarkable… Whether you're looking for a collaborator to write a memoir, a business book, or a work of fiction, I wholeheartedly recommend Jeff."


– Joseph Safina, CEO, Safina Asset Management


“Working with Jeff was superb. He is an amazing listener, experienced writer, highly adaptive to the author's working style, and supportive beyond the writing. When I write another book I will be looking forward to work with him.”


- Borko Handjiski, Partner, Oliver Wyman


“I often tell Jeff ‘you make me make sense’ because he has a way of listening, asking pertinent questions, and translating into succinct content that connects the dots and captures my voice. He’s amazing to work with and we’re grateful for his partnership.”


– Tynesia Boyea-Robinson, President and CEO, CapEQ, and multi-book author


“I’ve worked with Jeff on various writing projects for over a decade. No matter the assignment, he has consistently demonstrated a sharp editorial eye, and a reliable ability to produce content in the shape—and at the pace—I’ve needed it. He is the very definition of a great collaborator.”


– William Burckart, CEO, The Investment Integration Project (TIIP), and author of 21st Century Investing

Jeff is the consummate professional. From my first interactions with him, I felt comfortable that our partnership was going to a positive one. Jeff has a ability to take all of the content that I give him and condense it to make content concise and easy for my readers. I look forward to working with Jeff for years to come.

I had Jeff Raderstrong as a ghostwriter for my book project. I am a beginner author, and this is my first book. I started with my document, and nearly half of the book was done. Since I am working full-time, I didn't have time to complete the book, so I wanted Jeff to help me. We agreed that he would refine my notes and fill in the gaps. He wrote the beginning and ending of the book very well, ...
