Jessie Kwak – Ghostwriter

I'm a ghostwriter+book coach to entrepreneurs, business owners and coaches who have a powerful story to tell and a business impact to make.

Overview

I work with business owners, entrepreneurs, coaches, and speakers who have a powerful story to tell and want to make an impact with their book—both on their business, and on the world.

I do this in three ways:

1. Ghostwriting the full book through interviews + collaboration

2. Ghostwriting just the book proposal (especially for trad publishing projects)

3. Coaching clients through writing the book using the same interview-based method I use when ghostwriting

Most of my clients are talkers—give them a couple hours, and they could tell you the entire contents of their book. But sit them down in front of a computer and they freeze.

(Sound familiar?)

That's where my chops as an interviewer come in handy. I help you turn your superpower—talking it out—from a liability into an asset. Through 1:1 interviews, voice memos, and dictation tools, I help talkers become authors.

I love nonfiction. I've worked for over a decade as a freelance copywriter and content marketer specializing in business to business (B2B) topics including software-as-a-service, ecommerce, cybersecurity, marketing, sales, and technology...

If you started to nod off at that list, no worries. What I'm trying to say is that I love getting in the weeds and really drilling into my authors' specific expertise!

Meanwhile, I've also written over fifteen page-turning sci-fi crime and thriller novels under my own name. So I also bring my fiction storytelling chops into the room.

Who said nonfiction can't keep readers glued to the page?

I specialize in self-help, business books, and memoir.

Clients I've worked with as a ghostwriter, editor, or coach include:

—> A startup founder turned investor

—> A productivity thought leader and corporate consultant

—> A Fortune 500 VP of Sales

—> A TEDx speech coach

—> Multiple speakers and educators

—> Multiple small business owners and entrepreneurs

Some of my clients have come to me with full outlines and book deals in hand, others have come with the spark of an idea. Either way, they've left with a powerful book in hand.

If you're ready to make a real impact with your book, I'm here to help. Let's chat.
