Karen McCreadie – Ghostwriter

If your strength isn't writing - let's collaborate. With your subject expertise, I can help you fulfil your dream of becoming an author.

Overview

Are you looking for a ghostwriter?


Perhaps you are an expert in your field and would love to write a book. Only, you can’t find the time or don’t have the inclination to translate your ideas onto paper. Maybe you’ve tried before and find yourself drowning in your own content, unable to find a suitable structure to do justice to your thoughts and ideas. Do you have a folder on your computer with a hundred false starts? Have you discovered that you hate writing or perhaps writing hates you?


Perhaps it’s time to hire an award-winning ghostwriter with a proven track record.


I have collaborated with billionaires, millionaires, business leaders, entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants, health practitioners and international speakers on topics as diverse as food, personality profiling, leadership, analytics and big data, personal development, change management, property investing and wealth creation. To me ghostwriting is a true collaboration. As the subject expert you bring your knowledge and experience and I bring my experience writing over 80 books to convert your expertise into a well written, value-packed book - your exclusive business card.


According to one well known study 96% of non-fiction authors surveyed reported that writing a book positively influenced their business. In addition, authors also reported that their book:

* Improved their brand (94%).

* Led to more speaking engagements (95%).

* Resulted in more clients (96%).

* Generated more leads (94%).

* Allowed them to charge higher fees (87%).

* Facilitated a more desirable client base (87%).

* Helped to close more deals (76%).

It is also worth pointing out that according to BookStatistics it takes a first-time author 725 hours to write a standard-length non-fiction book (80,000 words).


Do you have a spare 725 hours? If not, let's talk, ask any questions you like, I'm here to help. It's fun - I promise!


P.S. So as to not waste your time, I only write non-fiction but not memoir or straight biographies. I do write hybrid biographies where someone's story is wrapped around a different structural frame such as 'lessons learned' but that is a very different end product to a traditional biography.

"Writing a book is a tremendous experience. It pays off intellectually, clarifies your thinking and builds credibility. It is a living engine of marketing and idea spreading, working every day to deliver your message with authority. You should write one.


- Seth Godin
