Confidential work, written together
Ghostwriting & Book Collaboration
Some books begin not with a manuscript but with a life, an argument, an archive, a body of expertise, or a story that has not yet found its written form. Charles works confidentially with authors to discover that form and build the book it requires.
Who it is for
For individuals with substantial material or expertise who need an experienced novelist and editor to shape, structure, draft, or revise a book in close collaboration.
The work may include
- Development of the book’s premise, audience, voice, and architecture
- Interviews, research synthesis, drafting, and revision as agreed
- Book proposals and sample material when appropriate
- A confidential scope, attribution arrangement, schedule, and fee
The working model can range from editorial collaboration to full ghostwriting. Every engagement is designed privately around the author, the material, and the intended book.
