Laura Schaefer – Ghostwriter

I am a professional ghostwriter who specializes in business books and leadership/personal development topics. I also have deep expertise writing for founders and thought leaders on diverse array of subjects.

Stories are the most powerful force on earth. The stories we tell shape everything we do, everything we think, everything we love. What is the story of your process? Of your philosophy? Of your business? Of your clients' biggest wins? Of your life?

Stories are my world. Books are my true love.

I've very much enjoyed telling stories -- true ones! -- for,,, Pipedrive, SkilledUp and MarketScale, as well as countless businesses, tech firms, events and individuals. I've even told some stories about people who don't exist, yet make us smile anyway. (book nerd here...SHHH, I'm reading.)

It's all about spinning together the right words into books that inspire, educate, entertain, reveal, clarify...and it all begins with trust. My clients have to trust me to open up, get vulnerable, and share their inner truths. They have to feel safe with me, knowing that no matter how much we joke around during our meetings (and we definitely will joke around), deep down I have one goal: to see the world through their eyes and communicate their message with warmth, integrity, and clarity.

My mission is to serve you, my author.

After we've talked at length and I've come to understand you, there are hours and days where it's just me in front of my screen. I am going to use every tool at my disposal, all my research skills, my empathy, my humor, my love of a well-chosen quote, my experience with chapter organization and rhythm, and my intellect to convey your ideas.

Your book should have a central idea that is both simple and clear. It must be elegantly written, meaning the chapters flow in a pleasing way, with a clean structure and a conversational tone. Your book, ideally, offers the reader total clarity. What does that mean? It means there are no extra words or unnecessary jargon. Finally, your book should be stimulating. It evokes emotion and curiosity. It guides readers right to the heart of key moments of transformation, both in your own life and in the lives and careers of your clients. More than anything else, your book exists to serve and uplift others. Ready to get started?

I create paradigm-shifting books with executive coaches, keynote speakers, leadership strategists, and top-tier life coaches. If you are currently building your coaching or consulting business, I'd love to talk. To learn more about my process, please reach out.

I believe in stories. I believe in the power of a book to change minds and societies. I believe in ideas. Tell me yours.
