It was great to meet with you on Tuesday and hear how you’re thinking about your book writing journey.
I'm thrilled that you're considering working with ThePocket PhD to get your book idea out of your head and into the hands of your fans.
I founded The Pocket PhD on the belief that experts need the support of other experts — and with the knowledge that most entrepreneurs don't have the time or inclination to agonize over every word.
My approach to ghostwriting not only saves you time and prevents the headaches that come from banging your head against your keyboard, it also supports your business goals.
When you hire me to ghostwrite your book, you're investing in yourself. However, my service goes beyond just writing the book. I understand that a book can be a powerful tool for advancing your business goals. Therefore, I also offer comprehensive content strategy and book launch support. This means I help you align your book’s themes with your broader content strategy, ensuring consistency across all platforms.
Plus, I support you in making strategic decisions about your book and how it fits into your business. Your book won't write itself, but hiring me to ghostwrite your book might be the next best thing!
As a Thought Leader with a Big Idea, writing and publishing a book can help more broadly share the unique perspective you have about your subject matter and increase your sphere of influence.
The Pocket PhD’s Book Ghostwriting Package is perfect for Thought Leaders who:

My goal is to take as much of the work of writing a transformative, actionable business book out of your hands as possible. You are just responsible for feeding me your best ideas — whether in the form of client examples, blog posts, or presentations you've previously written, or exercises you want to share with your reader.
I'll take care of the discipline of writing from there and we'll collaboratively edit the work we create together. You own everything in the end.
Your ghostwriting package also includes a weekly content strategy session to hammer out ideas, discuss positioning for the book, ensure we're covering the right bases, and make the whole process more efficient.
My collaborative process is designed to make sure you take ownership of your book.

With an agreement in place, we’ll choose a start date. Our first call will include a review of your LinkedIn profile and an audit of your content process. This will also be our first ideation session to begin to inform our content alignment with your book’s Big Idea.
From here, we’ll meet weekly to consult on your content, metrics, audience engagement and the development of your Big Idea and supporting themes.
Once we’re confident about your book’s Big Idea, I’ll share a ghostwriting package with you so you can gather any materials you've already created along with resources that you want to share with me.
We will now include the book pre-work into our weekly calls where we will validate your idea, talk about the competition and positioning, choose the voice and tone that fits your brand, and outline the initial content strategy.
My goal is to help you craft a premise for your book that defines your unique approach to the topic at hand. I want the idea, voice, and content to further your business goals. We’ll work to create this together so that you feel in control throughout the process.
Once we have the premise and direction for the book, I will:
I'll revisit and refine anything we create during the Pre-work and Kickoff phase, as well as consult on book strategy, during weekly 60-minute strategy sessions with you.
Your book writing process will be broken into two smaller projects: drafting the initial manuscript (approximately 40,000 words written in 8 weeks time (and 2 rounds of edits over the course of another 8 weeks).
For your initial draft, I will:
Once the initial draft is complete, it will be time for editing and clean-up. I will take your manuscript through two full rounds of revision.
During the first revisions, I will:
We'll also write the front matter and back matter at this point. You'll decide on who you want to dedicate your book to as well as who you want to thank in the acknowledgements section. I can also edit your author bio.
During the second round of revisions, I will:
