writing coach • ghostwriter • editor
You do the writing. I do the coaching. We meet once a week to discuss your outline, chapter progress, or character development, and any other topics that will make your writing stronger, including marketing strategy. You make adjustments and send each chapter to me for review.
You do the writing. I do the editing. You finish your book and send the manuscript to me for review. I correct grammar, identify missing details, and make sure it’s in logical order. You do the talking. I do the writing. We record weekly sessions with dialogue and data to complete your book.
“Ghostwritten books yielded four times the profit of non-ghostwritten books.” — Smith Publicity
You do the talking. I do the writing. We record weekly sessions with dialogue and data to complete your book. This is called ghostwriting. It is still your book because these are your ideas and your life. I do the tedious bits and you get the byline, book sales, and praise. Is it time to tell your story? Is it time to share your industry knowledge? Many executives begin a speaking career by publishing a book.
In the trade, this is sometimes called "book doctoring," but your manuscript doesn't have to be on life support to get a little … zooshing up. If you have written your book and are looking to get it polished, Maggie can help.
Working with a book doctor is a bit like hiring an interior decorator. You know what you want, and you’ve purchased some key pieces, but it’s just not coming together the way you envisioned it. An experienced interior designer gives you the look you dreamed of.
A book doctor adds those magic touches that make your book sing. She’ll rearrange, add, delete, correct, and streamline so your book reads beautifully.
