The KAA Ghostwriting Experience
We carefully customize our ghostwriting process to meet your specific needs and publishing goals. The process below describes a standard ghostwriting experience.
Before any financial commitment or contract, we will take the time to get to know you and your book and discuss the optimal strategy to achieve your publishing goals.
Once we’ve agreed to terms and signed a contract, we’ll proceed to Step 2.
Your book team will review any existing drafts or background materials and guide you through a questionnaire to help identify your concept and target readers.
At KAA, you’ll work with an elite team of bestselling writers, literary agents, and publishing executives to develop a powerful book and navigate the publishing industry.
In addition to your core team, our process includes the following team members:
Develops the book’s positioning and structure and provides editorial review and direction throughout the manuscript-writing process.
Works closely with you to write and revise your manuscript, capturing your voice and vision. KAA’s roster includes #1 NYT-bestselling authors.
Manages all logistics, including timeline and interview scheduling, and serves as your main point of contact for questions.
Refines the book’s positioning and structure, reviews manuscript progress, and advises on publishing strategy.
Meet with your book-writing team in person or via video conference for in-depth strategy sessions to brainstorm, plan, and build the foundation of your book.
By the end of the sessions, you will have a detailed manuscript outline that captures your vision and a publishing and marketing strategy.
Our team will develop the manuscript based on collaborative interviews and research and submit material to you for review and feedback.
We typically begin by perfecting the first chapter, ensuring we capture your distinct voice and vision, before moving on to larger sections.
We will develop your manuscript one section at a time, giving you ample opportunity to discuss the draft in process and suggest revisions.
Your editor will oversee the writing process and provide ongoing editorial review and direction to ensure the quality of the writing meets publishing industry standards.
Your manuscript will be reviewed by 20+ lay readers from within your target demographic who will provide detailed raw feedback and suggest improvements. The writing team will review this feedback with you and revise the book to ensure it resonates with your audience. Beta readers allow you and your team to make editorial decisions based on data.
Once the manuscript draft is complete, it will undergo several rounds of edits, including:
Did you know less than 0.1% of people who want to write a book actually publish one? Not at KAA.
Whether you want to break into traditional publishing, collaborate with a nimble hybrid publisher, or self-publish, we’ll guide you every step of the way to ensure your book finds its readers.
KAA’s close partnerships with elite publishers, literary agents, book marketers, and publicists allow us to place your book with an ideal publisher and assemble the best possible book launch team.
We believe books should be authentic, original, and deeply human. That’s why we never use AI to generate original content. Writing a great book—especially something deeply personal or creative—requires more than algorithms or pre-programmed prompts. It takes a real writer’s human intuition, empathy, and creativity to know when and how to ask the right questions and capture your voice in a way that resonates with your readers.
FAQ
How Do I Know What Details Are Important to Include or Exclude?
It all depends on the story you want to tell or concept you want to communicate. Lucky for you, we have a team of talented ghostwriters to help your articulate and shape the narrative for your book. Your writer can help you to make choices about what to include or omit in order to convey your central theme. Give us a call and tell us about your book, and our experienced team will help you decide the best strategy for developing it.
I’m Preparing for a Big Speech and Presentation—Do You Offer Ghostwriting Services for This?
Yes! While we focus primarily on writing books and other lengthier content, we also have experts on staff who have extensive experience with speech writing and presentations. In addition to writing content, we can develop presentation aids, such as PowerPoint, Keynote, Prezi, and more. Our speech and presentation writers work similarly to our ghostwriters for books; the process can be tailored to your needs and usually includes phone and video calls and/or email communication. Give us a call or send us an email to find out how we can serve your needs.
My Book Requires Research—Do Your Ghostwriting Services Include This?
Yes, our ghostwriting packages can include research services. Whether your book requires basic internet searches or rigorous scholarly research, we have writers on staff who can conduct effective research and synthesize it into your book.
Are You Able to Develop a Textbook or Manual?
Yes! We have writers on staff with experience crafting educational materials for a wide range of subjects, from mathematics to science to language to general how-to manuals. We can pair you with a ghostwriter and/or editor who can match the style and tone that you’re looking for and ensure that the writing is targeted effectively to your intended audience.
What Happens if I’m Not Happy or Satisfied with the Final Product?
We design our ghostwriting process to ensure that we’re always meeting your expectations and that there are no last-minute surprises. You will be able to review and influence your manuscript as the ghostwriter completes it, and you will have every opportunity to provide feedback and request revisions. Our process involves writing a small amount of material, sending it to you for feedback, making revisions based on your input, and then returning the revised content to you for approval before moving on. This method guarantees that you’ll be happy with the final result since you will have approved every page of writing leading up to the final page. With that said, if for some reason you’re not happy with the final product, it just means that it’s not the final product! We’ll continue to work with you until you’re satisfied with the results.
Am I Allowed to Choose My Ghostwriter? Can I View a Sample of Their Writing?
In general, we’re very adept at matching clients with the ghostwriter who will best suit them; however, we are also more than willing to provide you with writing samples and credentials for your potential ghostwriter. We can arrange for phone calls between you and potential writers and you are more than welcome to select between several options. Our goal is to make sure you’re fully satisfied with your ghostwriting experience from the very beginning.
Can I Claim Full Credit as Author Even Though I Didn’t Write the Book?
Yes, absolutely. The book we write for you will always be 100% your book. No one will ever know that you had professional help with the writing process unless you choose to tell them.
How Much Do Ghostwriting Services Cost?
Every ghostwriting project is unique: our pricing is flexible, and it varies according to what you choose to include in your package. Our comprehensive ghostwriting packages typically include writing services for the manuscript, phone time with the ghostwriter, review by a senior editor, copy editing, an original query letter and synopsis, a personalized list of literary agents to query, and publishing consultation.
What if I Just Want Feedback and Consultation on My Book?
Our editing and consultation services are perfectly suited for writers who are looking to improve their work. We can give input at whatever level of detail you’d like—overarching feedback on the structure and concept of the book, critical review on the flow and transitions, or copy edit the text itself. At your request, we can also address specific issues in our review of your work.
What Do I Need to Consider When Choosing a Ghostwriter?
The internet is littered with online writing and editing services, making it nearly impossible to sift through the scams and find a legitimate and trustworthy service. Here are some questions to ask when you’re vetting companies to ensure that you pick a reliable firm for all your writing and editing needs:
Whatever service you decide to use, be sure to protect yourself. Make certain that you are working with a reputable and experienced company.
Once the Ghostwriting Is Complete, Can You Help with Publishing and Marketing?
We know that the publishing industry can be daunting, especially for first-time authors, so we offer consultation and comprehensive support for traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing outlets. Most of our all-inclusive ghostwriting packages include an original and customized query letter or book proposal free of charge. This invaluable marketing tool will be used to promote your book to literary agents and publishers. Not sure how to find a reputable literary agent? We’ve got you covered—we’ll provide you with a list of genre-appropriate agents to whom you can send your query letter or proposal!
