FICTION & NON-FICTION GHOSTWRITING
Your Ideas, Expertly Written — in Your Voice
You have the story, the expertise or the idea for a book — but not the time, the training, or the thousands of uninterrupted hours it takes to write one well. That gap is exactly what a ghostwriter closes. Hoggard Publishers pairs you with an experienced writer in your genre who interviews you, structures the book, and writes it to a professional standard, all while keeping it unmistakably yours. Whether it’s the novel you’ve carried for years or the non-fiction book your career has earned, we help you finally hold it in your hands — with your name on the cover and complete confidentiality throughout.
A Book You Couldn’t Find the Time to Write
Most books that should exist never do — not for lack of a story or expertise, but for lack of the one resource professionals rarely have: the sustained time and craft that a full-length book demands. A ghostwriter supplies both. You bring the substance — the plot in your head, the hard-won knowledge, the argument only you can make — and an experienced writer turns it into a structured, polished, publishable manuscript, at a pace that fits a real life.
The craft is different for fiction and non-fiction, and we match the writer to the work. Fiction ghostwriting means developing plot, character and pacing that hold a reader across an entire novel, in the tone your genre expects. Non-fiction ghostwriting means shaping expertise into a clear architecture — the framework, chapters and examples that turn what you know into something a reader can follow and act on. In both, the writer disappears; only your book remains.
Voice is the heart of it, and it is protected obsessively. Through recorded interviews, your notes and your feedback on every stage — outline, sample chapter, full draft, revisions — the writer learns to sound like you, so readers meet you on the page, not a stranger. The work is entirely confidential and entirely yours: you hold 100% of the rights and take sole author credit. No one need ever know we were involved.

Ghostwriting — Frequently Asked Questions
Will the book really be mine?
Completely. Ghostwriting means you supply the ideas, story and direction and take sole author credit and 100% of the rights; the writer remains invisible. The finished book carries your name alone, and our involvement is confidential.
How will the ghostwriter capture my voice?
Through recorded interviews, your existing notes or writing samples, and your feedback at every stage. You approve a sample chapter early specifically so we can confirm the voice sounds like you before the full draft begins — and refine it if it doesn’t.
Do you ghostwrite both fiction and non-fiction?
Yes — and we match the writer to the work. Fiction requires plotting, character and pacing across a whole novel; non-fiction requires structuring expertise into a clear, usable framework. We pair you with a writer experienced in your specific genre.
How involved do I need to be?
As involved as you’d like, but some involvement is essential — the material and voice come from you. Typically that means interview sessions up front, then reviewing the outline, sample and drafts. Many busy clients keep it to focused interviews and staged reviews.
Is the process confidential?
Entirely. Ghostwriting is confidential by nature and backed by a non-disclosure agreement. Your material, your identity and the fact that a ghostwriter was involved all remain private — no one need ever know.
How long does ghostwriting take, and what does it cost?
A full-length book typically takes several months, depending on length, complexity and how quickly interviews and feedback flow. Cost reflects that scope of work. After a free consultation you’ll receive a clear proposal and schedule, agreed before we begin.
