Book Your Call With Me Today

On the call we will chat about your vision, goals, how we can turn your story into a book or screenplay, or what to do to take your writing career to the next level.

I will help you put the FUN in non-fiction by making sure the process is one of discovery, enjoyment, and ease.   

With a completed project in hand, you can increase your revenue, visibility, and enlarge your platform to reach the most people with your message. Together we discover the heart of your project and make it easily understood so that people can spread the word about your skill, cause, or unique message clearly.

This is probably one of the most significant projects you’ve ever embarked upon. No wonder it’s been so hard to find the time to organize your notes and thoughts when trying to go it alone. I have enjoyed helping many global thought leaders not only find their voice but use it to inspire others. In just 1 hour per week we can create an inspiring story for you to share with the world. We will create a valuable tool for you to use in your speaking career, content creation, and as a manifesto to define the movement you wish to create and launch into the world.

FAQ

 

 

Here are a few questions clients have about my writing process. Let me know if I can answer any other questions you have. I’m here to make this easy, fun and inspirational for you. Like climbing a mountain, the process is easy and enjoyable when you take it one step at a time!

Why Do I Need a Ghostwriter?

I work with lots of people who have had their story on their mind for a very long time. Like most of my clients, you are probably having trouble sorting out your thoughts and maybe getting all your paperwork organized. Maybe you have even tried to write your story before but you can’t find a way into the story or you haven’t been able to write to the end. Maybe you don’t like paperwork and are interested in “talking your book.” There are many ways for us to get your story down on paper. Don’t be overwhelmed any longer. I’m here to save you time and organize your research so we can write your book or screenplay together.

How Does This Work?

Once we talk about your project, I set up an editorial calendar of deliverables. Each week I submit new material to you and we talk about the submissions on weekly calls. During these calls you might begin to make new connections and think of ideas, insights and memories that you never have before. This is the gold of our collaborative process because these rich details hold the key to the heart of your story and make the narrative even stronger.

What About Revisions?

I revise as we go, so when our work together is finished you will have a manuscript that is ready to publish however you like.

Who Gets The Author Credit?

You do. There will be no mention of me as ghostwriter, unless you would like me to have a “with” credit.

How Long Does The Whole Process Take?

This varies from book to book. Most projects take about three to nine months to complete.

Do You Write Book Proposals?

Yes, I have received great results with my non-fiction book proposals. One of my proposals got my client an agent within an hour of submission! I look forward to helping you find the right fit with the right agent or publishing house.

What About Publishing?

Once we have finished your book, I can advise you on the publishing process. Together we will package your manuscript for traditional, boutique, hybrid, or independent publication.

“Laura is great to work with! She listens,  is patient, and is an awesome writer. I have already referred her to my friend.”

“It was a pleasure working with Laura. She provided professional insight into my project and was always objective. I was able to turn an average manuscript into a polished, ready-to-publish, manuscript. Laura connected to the story and brought breath to the scenes in a vibrant manner. She provided feedback and criticism that was necessary to improve the story without being pushy or abrasive. I would recommend anyone who is in need of a good writer with a fast turn around to work with Laura. She will not disappoint.”

“Amazing experience… Laura is the perfect someone which every writer needs. She is punctual, professional, honest, creative and perfectionist! I will definitely work with her anything I might be doing.”

“I had fun working with Laura as a team. As a writer, she got the pulse of what I needed to deliver creatively and she worked through the changes required, adding in her creative thoughts and going the extra mile with her ideas and suggestions. Thanks, Laura!”

“Laura was phenomenal to work with. She was professional yet very open and personable from our first communication. She has a wonderful creative energy that drew me to her style and personality right away. This was a new and extremely foreign experience for me and she was nothing but patient and informative. We worked extremely well together and developed a communication and objective outline right away. Our mindset of planning and organizing everything was cohesive. I would highly recommend Laura for any writing projects. I had an amazing experience with Laura.”

“You know about me, things which maybe I don’t know about myself. As you analyze, I find sometimes in your writings, things which I never told you but they are true.”

“I’m enjoying how my manuscript flows so nicely as I read it now. I enjoy the polish that you’re putting on it and some inferences you made about what I wrote that let you take that sentence and rearrange it or gild it, and make it something that contributes better to the story and makes the paragraph have a little spice. I’m enjoying that process a lot. Thank you for sharing your gift with words and being instrumental in polishing my vision.”

“This has been a really interesting experience, just diving back into the material and seeing how much it’s evolved. I love the flow you’re bringing and the narrative that you’re creating as well. I mean, it’s what I would have loved to see. I don’t want to present myself as a science geek, I wanted to come across as relatable. I just want to thank you.”

You are SO freaking awesome and I have no WORDS to describe how beautiful your spirit is – you have helped me so much, always believed in me from day one despite me going through all sorts of absolute confusion, in fact I thought I was a delusional person trying to do something absolutely unattainable. And YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE FOR ME, HOLDING MY HAND FROM DAY ONE. I am SO grateful for you, for what you have taught me, for leading the way with such grace and positivity, and for being an amazing listener. You are my BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL light. ♥️

“Laura is wonderful, She spent a lot of time with me on the phone fleshing out my thoughts, ideas, and musings about my screenplay and helped me clarify my communication for the treatment.”

“I can’t believe that half a year later, we have almost finished the book. We’ve had so many pauses––the war, this, and that––and we are still here! And it’s all because you have been able to really organize it and push it forward, but so effortlessly. I really value that so much Laura. I haven’t felt pressure or craziness. It’s been really pleasant. And I can escape from everything into this creative space. I really treasure that. Thank you so much.”
