Bespoke Bookwriting Experiences

We believe books are vehicles for transformation…

…and we offer a radical approach to bring transformative books to life.

Who are you?

  • You have a story or idea tugging on your soul strings.

  • You want to write a book, but you lack the time, ability, or confidence to bring it to life with the quality it deserves.

  • The release, reception or sales of the book are not your primary motivation.

  • You heart & mind are curious & open to self exploration.

Who you are not.

  • Someone for whom the result matters more than the process.

  • Someone who defines success primarily by external metrics.

  • Someone who would tweak your truth if it meant selling more books.

  • Someone who wants absolute minimal involvement in the process.

Who are we?

  • We wholeheartedly approach books as vehicles for transformation.

  • We excavate, discover, articulate and express human truths.

  • We follow a unique collaborative process based on 20 years and 30 ghostwritten projects.

  • We create space for timeless acts of human bravery.

Who we are not.

  • Market experts who primarily focus on trends, fads, and the “audience.”

  • Industry insiders promising to leverage relationships with “the right people.”

  • Emulators who seek to deconstruct & replicate past commercial success.

  • Wet-noodle “yes-men” who prioritize ease & comfort over depth & quality.

How we write your book.

All projects begin with a Fresh Look — a short exploration of:

  • Where a project is now

  • Why it wants to exist

  • How to guide it into being

The Fresh Look offers you a vista of possibility for the Full Project.

Sincerity is our true north. We rehabilitate a dirty-magic word (ghost) with a no-trace approach:

  • No samples will be shared, no molds fit into, every project is unique.

  • Past projects & references are available by request only after advanced discussions.

The Full Project cycles through three phases:

  • Tall bamboo stalks in a forest with sunlight shining through the leaves on a clear day.

    Curiosity

    We explore the contours of your soul with you, searching for what yearns to be shared.

  • Purple flowers growing at the base of an engraved stone wall.

    Catharsis

    We fully excavate & unencumber your heart to open up space & new paths for articulating the message.

  • Calm river reflecting trees and sky with pink clouds, surrounded by bare and leafy branches.

    Clarity

    We distill & crystalize all that is essential into chapter & manuscript form.

What it takes.

Fresh Look

  • 10 days

  • $2,000 USD (half up-front, half upon delivery).

  • A mind-dump of the idea or story & an openness to consider its possibilities.

Full Project

  • 1 year

  • $180,000 USD (13 deliverable-tied monthly payments of $15,000)

  • A willingness to be transformed.

The First Conversation

Before the Fresh Look before the Full Project, the first step is telling us about your book and arranging a time for a First Conversation.

We are always open to First Conversations and they are always free.
