Matthew Thrush – Ghostwriter

2x USA Today and WSJ bestselling author | 200x Bestselling Ghostwriter | Founder and CEO of EMPIRE Publishing

Overview

My name is Matthew.


I help experts and business professionals turn their stories and knowledge into bestselling and profitable books within 6-12 months.


If your goal is to become a bestselling author (selling tens of thousands of copies) and leverage that achievement and your book to impact more lives, and as a byproduct, generate six-figures to seven-figures with your book, I can help you.


A few examples of what my clients have achieved with their books as a result of working with me are...


- Becoming USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling authors.

- Selling their business for multiple eight-figures as a result of their book hitting WSJ bestseller.

- Doing seven-figures in revenue using their book in a book funnel.

- Landing speaking engagements, podcasts, events, and interviews.

- Generating $5k to $100k+ in monthly revenue from just book sales.

- Attracting investors for their M&A and real estate investment deals.

- Accruing a large social following and thousands of reviews.


So far I've done over 200 bestselling books.


If you want similar results that resemble that of a big New York publisher but retain full ownership and rights to your book, then send me a message.


- Matthew
