Things we put in writing.
Each of these is in your contract, in plain English, on page one.
Copyright, framework names, methodology and case-study transcripts transfer to you on final payment. The book becomes part of your business's IP, not ours.
Your unpublished framework, client list and pricing are confidential from email one. We never publish case studies of your book without written sign-off.
If a chapter doesn't cut down to a 20-minute keynote script cleanly, we re-cut it at no extra charge until it does.
We won't take on a directly competing author in your sub-category for twelve months after launch. Written into the contract.
How to start a business or self-help book with ebookwriting.ai.
Four short steps from positioning to launched book.
- Book a positioning workshop. We schedule two working sessions to pin down the audience, the promise and the shelf-mate your book displaces. We confirm receipt within one working day.
- Receive a fixed-price proposal. Within 48 hours of the workshop, you get a written quote (typically $3,600 to $12,000 depending on ghostwriting share), a timeline, and a one-page contract.
- Approve framework, then chapters. We deliver the framework chapter first, then the remaining manuscript in batches across 10 to 14 weeks. Two revision rounds are built in.
- Launch the book. We hand over the manuscript, the cover and interior, the KDP-ready files, plus a 90-day launch plan covering keynote, podcast and inbound playbooks.
More about our business book ghostwriting work.
Our business book ghostwriting is built for founders, consultants and senior operators who want a book that earns leads, raises fees and replaces the pitch deck. An authority book writer leads the work, paired with a business book editor who has shipped titles into the WSJ, Inc. and trade publishing lanes. Most projects run four to seven months from positioning to manuscript.
What a founder book is actually for
A founder book is not a memoir. It is a structured argument that makes a single, defensible claim about how your industry works, then proves it with cases and frameworks the reader can apply on Monday. Consultant ghostwriting follows the same logic — we surface the proprietary method, name it, then build the chapters around it. The book exists to do work; it isn't a souvenir of your career.
A lead-generating book carries its weight when the framework is teachable, the cases are specific and the call-to-action at the back is calibrated to one offer, not five. We write that call-to-action with you. Across 2025 the team shipped 11 business titles; eight of those clients reported the book paying back its fee inside six months through inbound consultations alone.
Where a business book editor earns their keep
Founders worry the book will sound like everyone else's. That's the editor's job — to strip the consultancy jargon, refuse the third metaphor about icebergs, and keep the voice recognisably yours. A business book editor reads the draft twice: once for argument, once for sentence-level voice. Anything that reads like LinkedIn gets cut.
Copyright is yours in full at sign-off. We deliver Word, PDF, KDP-ready files on request, and a 30-day post-launch plan with a list of podcasts and trade outlets matched to the book's positioning.
Questions we are asked.
Short, honest answers. Anything else, send to contact@ebookwriting.ai.
What does the starting figure include?
At ebookwriting.ai, the starting business book fee of $3,600 covers a full manuscript up to an agreed length, a framework or methodology workup, case examples drawn from your business, two drafts, and two rounds of edits. Title positioning, cover, and launch copy are scoped separately.
How long does a business book take?
Most business and self-help titles land between ten and fourteen weeks. If you need it tied to a keynote or conference date we plan backwards from that, with a written milestone schedule and a buffer for senior-reader review.
What if the framing doesn't feel sharp enough?
Two structural revisions are included, and we test the central framework against three or four reader scenarios before drafting. If the positioning needs to change after chapter one, we pause and rework the spine rather than paper over it.
Will my name be on the book?
Yes — you are the named author. Our work is ghostwritten under NDA, copyright transfers to you on final payment, and we never list your project in case studies without written permission.
What do I receive at the end?
A Word manuscript, a PDF reading copy, a methodology one-pager, a list of case-study sources, and a short style sheet you can hand to a future editor, publicist, or speechwriter.
How do you turn my ideas into a coherent framework?
We run two or three working sessions to extract the model you already use intuitively, then map it onto a teachable structure — usually three to five named principles, each carrying its own chapter. The framework is sense-checked with you before any prose is written.
Often paired with this.
