Ghostwriter for Coaches: Your Method, in a Book That Sells It for You
Ghostwriting for coaches, consultants, and transformation experts who want their methodology in a book that works while they coach.
113+ books under my own name you can read tonight. 54+ ghostwritten, many for coaches, consultants, and leadership experts.
What does it cost to ghostwrite a coaching book?
I interview you, pull the method out of your sessions, and write the book in your voice. You own every word. The rate is $1 per word, paid in monthly advances.
Pricing covers the interviews, the outline, the writing, and the revisions. No hidden fees. You own the manuscript, the copyright, and every right to it.
Want a shorter book at a lower price? AI-Assisted Books start at $15,000. It’s a different kind of offering: AI drafts the book from prompts I build out of your interviews, and I edit every page.
“Thank you, Richard, for your experience and supporting me in this process. This is my first book I’m publishing, and thanks a lot. Without your help, I couldn’t have done it so easily.”

Why should a coach have a ghostwritten book?
Your clients hire you because you’ve figured out something they haven’t. You teach it in calls, deliver it in programs, and document it in slide decks. The method lives in your head and your sessions. It isn’t yet in a form that markets you while you’re busy coaching.
A book fixes that. It puts your methodology in writing, in your voice, where prospects can read it before they ever book a call. It qualifies leads, gets you onto podcasts and stages, and separates you from every other coach with a website and testimonials. When two coaches have the same credentials, the one with the book wins.
What does a book do for a coaching practice?
Real projects for coaches and consultants.
How does ghostwriting a coaching book work?
You teach. I listen. We map it. You spend the time in interviews and I do the writing, in six phases.
Why this book
We start with the book’s job: authority in your niche, higher-value clients, speaking, or scaling past one-on-one. That job decides the shape of everything after it.
Discovery
Recorded sessions where you walk me through your method, the sequence you take clients through, and your best transformation stories. I capture your teaching voice as you go.
Architecture
Your method becomes chapters: the reader’s path, the order of the concepts, the worked examples, and the case studies. You approve the outline before any writing starts.
Creation
I write the chapters. Your share is about 20% of the effort: the method, the stories, and your review. Mine is the other 80%: the structure, the writing, and the polish.
Refinement
You review each chapter as it’s drafted and direct revisions. By chapter three you know whether the voice and structure are right, so corrections happen early, when they’re cheap.
Publish (optional)
Publishing guidance, print and ebook editions, distribution, and a launch plan built around your practice, available as a separate package.
