Book Ghostwriter | Writing, Editing, KDP Formatting & Self Publishing

I ghostwrite and edit nonfiction books (business, self-help, and memoir) and take them all the way to published on Amazon KDP. 70 books written or edited; 25+ published for repeat clients Most book projects on Upwork fail in the handoffs: a writer who doesn't format, a formatter who can't fix the writing, a "publisher" who never read the manuscript. I run the whole pipeline - outline, draft, edit, format, publish - so nothing is lost between stages and one person is accountable for the finished book. ━━━━━━━━ WHAT I DO━━━━━━━━━━━ ► Nonfiction ghostwriting: business, self-help, health & wellness, personal development, memoir. Written in your voice, under your name, 100% your rights. ► Book editing: developmental, line editing, and proofreading that turns a rough draft into a publish-ready manuscript. ► AI-draft rebuilds: started your book with ChatGPT and stalled? I restructure, rewrite, and restore a human voice so the book reads like you, not a template. ► KDP formatting & publishing: Kindle ePub and print-ready paperback PDF, correct trim, embedded fonts, clean metadata and categories. 25+ titles taken live. ► Wider distribution: Draft2Digital and IngramSpark when you want more than Amazon. ━━━━━━━━ WHY CLIENTS PICK ME ━━━━━━━━━━━ • Trained researcher (PhD from USA): I verify sources and build arguments that hold up, which matters in nonfiction. • Every one of my 20 Upwork contracts is rated 5.0. Clients' words: "meticulous attention to detail," "professionalism and expertise… outstanding," "he truly delivers." • Principal ghostwriter for a published coaching-industry author across multiple titles; long-running partnership with a KDP publisher (25+ books). • Fast, structured communication - outline approved before drafting, chapters delivered on a schedule, feedback built in at every stage. ━━━━━━━━A NOTE FOR COACHES, CONSULTANTS, AND FOUNDERS ━━━━━━━━━━━ A book is the strongest credibility asset you can own, it should win you clients, stages, and higher fees. Through my studio, Margin & Spine, I build these authority books end to end: strategy, structure, manuscript, publication. If that's the project you have in mind, say so in your first message and I'll share the process. ━━━━━━━━ NOT THE RIGHT FIT IF ━━━━━━━━━━━ ► You need fiction - I work in nonfiction only. ► You want a 30,000-word book in 48 hours for $50. Good books aren't produced that way, and I won't pretend otherwise. ━━━━━━━━ HOW WE START ━━━━━━━━━━━ MESSAGE ME with your topic, audience, and goal for the book. I'll reply within a few hours with an honest assessment, a structure suggestion, and a fixed milestone plan - outline first, so you approve the skeleton before a full chapter is written.
