Jonathan B. Williams – Ghostwriter

I'm an experienced ghostwriter who specializes in memoirs and self-help books. Want a great book? Want to enjoy writing it? Hire me!

Overview

For as long as I can remember, I've loved hearing and telling stories. So, I've decided to dedicate my life to helping other people tell their stories.

Simply put, I help people tell transformational stories--stories about events or people that changed them, and stories about how they made positive changes that have affected them and others. Why? Because I've come to the conclusion that the most important stories are those that inspire us to change and to improve and to become. I love these stories, and as a ghostwriter, I understand the craft of writing so that your story will shine like it's supposed to. So use my experience and knowledge to help you write your book and tell your story.

WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU

If you’ve lived a life and have an inspiring or even a harrowing story to tell, I want to hear it. And so do others. Even if you hate writing, that's not a problem, I’ll do most of the heavy lifting. Or maybe you just don’t have the time to write a book. Again, no problem there either. When you work with me you’ll end up with a book that tells your story in the most compelling way possible, all done in less time and with less pain than you would have spent doing it by yourself.

WHO I'VE HELPED

I’ve helped business coaches, influencers, entrepreneurs, and ordinary citizens to tell their compelling story. So why not you? Let me help you to tell your story and get your words into print.

WHY YOU SHOULD WORK WITH ME

If you have a story to tell that has an element of drama in it, I'm your guy. Because I focus only on telling compelling stories, you can bet that I'm the best at what I do. I understand narrative flow and how to grab and keep a reader's attention. I actually love and understand the craft of writing. In other words, let me worry about the grammar, the transitions, and the flow of your book while you go about your life and business and meet with me in manageable, one-hour meetings (usually weekly) where I'll capture your story. I do the hard work and the polishing so you don't have to.
