Sean Platt – Ghostwriter

I work with people whose ideas are already valuable.

I’m a premium ghostwriter for founders, executives, experts, and public figures who want a book that changes how they’re seen. A book that changes their industry. Maybe even changes the world.

I extract, architect, and express the intellectual property embedded in your experience to craft a book with authority, clarity, and long-term leverage.

I’ve authored or co-authored hundreds of books, contributed to 1,000+ published projects, and worked privately with bestselling authors, Emmy and Academy Award winners, seven- and eight-figure founders, and category-defining experts.

I own and operate multiple IP companies focused on story architecture, publishing strategy, and long-term IP development. My projects benefit from a discreet, senior-level team that supports structural clarity, narrative cohesion, and finish quality from early outline through final manuscript.

What I Actually Do

My clients have deep expertise, strong opinions, and a successful career. They are looking for a compelling way to turn all of that into a book that knows exactly what it’s here to do.

I specialize in:

Distilling complex careers into clear, defensible frameworks

Structuring nonfiction that builds credibility and influence

Translating lived experience into authoritative narrative

Writing in a voice that feels unmistakably like you on your sharpest day

How I Work

I start with stakes, positioning, and intent. Depending on scope, that early work is supported by a proven internal process designed to ensure the book is structurally sound and strategically positioned before drafting begins.

From there, I:

Architect the book so it has a job, not just a topic

Shape raw thinking into a persuasive, coherent arc

Write with clarity, restraint, and precision

Edit aggressively for signal over noise

Every stage is pressure-tested for clarity, coherence, and credibility. The goal is a finished book that feels deliberate, confident, and professionally inevitable from beginning to end.

Clients often describe the process as less like ghostwriting and more like working with a strategic thinking partner who happens to write at a very high level.

Who I’m a Fit For

I work best with clients who are already established, value their time, and want a book that functions as a long-term asset. If you’re still exploring ideas, comparing options, or price-shopping, we’re not a fit.

If you know your ideas matter and want them handled accordingly, we probably are.

Investment

Most nonfiction ghostwriting on Reedsy lives in the mid–five-figure range. That’s appropriate for projects focused primarily on drafting words.

My work sits in a different category.

I’m brought in to extract high-value intellectual property, architect a persuasive narrative, and produce a nonfiction asset that holds up under scrutiny and time. For clients at this level, the book is not the product. The leverage is.

Full-length engagements start at six-figures and scale based on scope, speed, and strategic depth. I don’t offer unpaid samples, speculative work, or exploratory calls without clear alignment.

If you’re ready to create something that reflects the depth of your thinking and holds up over time, I’d love to talk.
