Executive Ghostwriting

Your Ideas. Your Voice. Your Name on the Cover.

Ghostwriting is not outsourcing your thinking. It is finding someone who can translate your thinking into a book worthy of it. You have the expertise, the experience, and the story. What you may not have is the time, the structure, or the craft to turn it into a manuscript. That is exactly what I bring as an Executive Ghostwriter in India.

Who is this for?

Executives who want to establish authority in their industry. Entrepreneurs with a founding story that deserves to be documented. Academics who have ideas beyond their research papers. Thought leaders who have been meaning to write their book for years. If you have ever said ‘I should really write a book’ — this is for you.

The Process

Deep-dive & Discovery

We begin with a deep-dive conversation: your book’s central idea, the audience you want to reach, and the outcome you want the book.

Research & Interviews

I conduct structured interviews with you, gather supporting material, and do any additional research. These sessions are recorded and transcribed.

Structure & Outline

Before a word of the manuscript is written, we agree on a detailed outline. This is the blueprint — nothing proceeds without your approval

Drafting & Writing

The manuscript is written in phases. Each chapter comes to you for review before I move to the next. One round of revisions per chapter is included .

Editing & Self-Publishing

Once the full manuscript is approved, it goes through a final editorial pass, and guide you through the entire self-publishing process .

Books to capture your ideas

Whether you want to share your expertise, tell your story, or create an impact, I help turn your ideas into well-crafted books. The writing process varies based on the book’s complexity and depth.

Time-frame and Commercials

The timeline depends on the complexity of your book, the amount of research required, and your availability for interviews and feedback. On average:
Short books (20,000–30,000 words) take 3–4 months
Full-length books (50,000+ words) take 6–9 months
Price range is between ₹ 1,50,000-4,00,000 depending on the word count and package.

Capturing Your Unique Voice

Your book should sound like you. I use interviews, recorded conversations, and sample writings to adapt to your tone, personality, and style—ensuring that your readers feel your presence in every word.

Research Editing for Academics

Academic writing and book writing are two different crafts. The rigour that makes a thesis credible can make a book unreadable. I work with professors, researchers, and subject-matter experts at the point where their manuscript needs to move from academic register to mainstream non-fiction — without losing the authority that makes it worth reading. I served as Research Editor for Managing Brand Transgressions by Dr. Shailendra Pratap Jain (Foster School of Business, University of Washington) and have worked with academics at Columbia Business School.
