Ian Phillipson – Ghostwriter

WHO I WORK WITH & WHAT I DELIVER

As a business ghostwriter and book strategist, I help entrepreneurs, consultants, and business leaders turn their experience and expertise into nonfiction and thought-leadership books that raise credibility and generate long-term business results.

For over 18 years, I’ve specialised in business, leadership, and technology-driven nonfiction, ghostwriting more than 30 books for founders and corporate leaders worldwide. My work translates complex, technical, and strategic ideas into clear, commercially valuable narratives that help clients attract investors, win new business, and strengthen brand authority.

EXPERIENCE THAT TURNS IDEAS INTO IMPACT

Clients choose me when they need a trusted thought partner who can capture their voice, structure complex thinking, and align their book with a wider strategy.

I’ve collaborated with leaders at Oracle, Yamaha, and Arthur D. Little, where I ghostwrote Disruption: The Future of Banking and Financial Services (praised as “timely and thought-provoking”). Another recent title was endorsed by LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman.

Alongside books, I create book proposals, strategic reports, white papers, and brand narratives for clients including NTT DATA, Lloyd’s Private Banking, and the BBC — work that keeps me close to how ideas move through organisations and shape markets.

A STRATEGIC, COLLABORATIVE PROCESS

Every collaboration starts with a focused discovery call to define goals, audience, and voice. From there, I design a structured framework that moves smoothly from concept to completed manuscript.

My role combines deep listening, editorial discipline, and strategic insight to ensure your finished book supports both immediate objectives and long-term positioning. The process is designed to be efficient, transparent, and genuinely enjoyable.

Many of my authors use their books to launch new products, attract investment, or build enduring thought-leadership platforms — proof that a well-designed nonfiction book continues to work long after publication.

LET’S START A CONVERSATION

If you’re ready to turn your expertise into a book that keeps working for you and your business long after publication, I’d love to begin that conversation.
