Digital Transformation Ghostwriter: Your Authority, in a Form People Can Cite
Books on digital transformation and technology for the leaders who did the work, written by someone who led two transformations himself.
113+ books under my own name you can read tonight. 54+ ghostwritten, including three digital transformation books for clients.
What does a digital transformation ghostwriter cost?
I interview you, write the book in your voice with your judgment intact, and 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.
“I asked Richard, What do I do next? His response was simple but powerful. He gave me the exact guidance I needed, and just like that, everything clicked.”

Why hire a ghostwriter for a digital transformation book?
I didn’t learn digital transformation from the outside. I led two of them as Director of Computer Operations and Technical Services at a major retailer. The first automated back-end processes that had been manual for years. The second automated the warehouses. Both were difficult, both were political, and both are exactly the kind of work that makes a book worth writing, if you survive them with a win.
Since then I’ve ghostwritten three digital transformation books for clients. So I bring both halves: I’ve sat in the seat you’re in, and I’ve written this exact book before. You won’t spend our calls explaining what a legacy system is. We’ll be arguing about why the middleware decision failed.
What does a digital transformation book do for you?
Real technology and transformation projects.
How does ghostwriting a digital transformation book work?
You explain. I probe. The thesis emerges. Six phases, built around your calendar.
Why this book
We define the book’s strategic job: own a category, win higher-value consulting work, turn hard-won lessons into a system, or leave a record of what you learned.
Discovery
Recorded sessions on your methodology, your war stories, and the patterns nobody else writes about. Your real argument takes shape here.
Architecture
A clear thesis and a logical chapter progression, with frameworks made usable and case studies placed where they hit hardest. You approve the outline before any writing starts.
Creation
I write the chapters. Your share is about 20% of the effort: the expertise, the direction, and your review. Mine is the other 80%: the structure, the prose, and the polish.
Refinement
You read each chapter and correct anything that misses your thinking. Technical accuracy gets verified, and nothing is final until you approve it.
Launch (optional)
Publishing guidance, print and ebook editions, distribution, and an authority and pipeline strategy, available as a separate package.
