Elaine Pofeldt – Ghostwriter

If you are looking to write a book on entrepreneurship, business or personal development in the coming year, I would be thrilled to assist you in making it happen. I help clients with book proposals, outlines, developmental editing, ghostwriting and editing their books. I was a senior editor at Fortune Small Business magazine and my freelance writing has appeared in Fortune, Money, CNBC, Forbes, Columbia Business Magazine, Millie, Economist Intelligence Unit reports and many other publications.

I would love to tap my background in media, research and writing (both commercially and custom-published books) to help you author a book that is worthy of the reputation you have built in your field. I'm one of those rare authors who loves collaborating just as much as I enjoy writing my own books. While I have very high standards, I am a friendly and approachable guide. And, as a mother of four, I look forward to nurturing your budding talents as a writer, so you can learn from our work together and confidently write whatever you want in the future.

I also act as a writing coach and private editor for authors seeking a professional edit suitable for a commercially published book or a high-quality self-published book.

I usually sign a non-disclosure agreement but I can share that my ghostwriting and developmental editing clients have included:

* The CEO of a multi-billion financial services company and author of a New York Times Bestseller

*The founder of a worldwide entrepreneurship organization and author of a perennially bestselling self-published book on entrepreneurship

*The CEO and founder of a groundbreaking branding agency whose commercially published book on branding was published in 2025

* The CEO and founder of a high-profile HR consultancy and author of a newly released custom book for Gen Z and GenX leaders

* A high-profile coach to CEOs, whose book on employee engagement was published in 2025 by a prestigious hybrid imprint

* A global expert on cash flow, who wrote what may be the only funny and entertaining book on the subject

* A scalable entrepreneur in the education space and author of a popular commercially published book on mindset

* A top-selling real-estate broker with a new take on residential property

* A business broker who needed help in explaining complex mergers & acquisitions transactions to family members who inherited businesses they had never run in a custom-published book he could hand out

* A wealth manager at a prestigious financial services firm with a unique take on life and wealth that formed the basis for a coaching practice

* A physician pioneering a new way to treat psychological trauma.

Writing and editing a book to the highest standard can make a big difference in getting noticed by potential clients, bookers of keynote speakers, thought leaders who matter in your field, and readers who may someday become clients. If you have great ideas but are "stuck" and don't know how to move forward, don't struggle anymore. I'd love to help!
