Ghostwriting

Book chapters, blog posts, reports, speeches

Many of my clients have devoted their lives and careers to gaining deep knowledge of important, world-changing subjects—in academia, self-help, art and business, among others. As a result, they often feel like they don’t have the time, or even skills, to make that knowledge accessible to a wider audience.

It’s not just the hours spent wrangling sentences into patterns that let your ideas glow, but the years spent learning how to avoid novice mistakes of tone, style and grammar.

As a ghostwriter, I have the benefit of coming to your subject with fresh eyes and expertise in distilling complex ideas into compelling, emotional, narratives—without leaning on jargon or devolving into facile thought.

If you’ve been sitting on the makings of a book or a New York Times op-ed, but writing the thing has been on the back burner for, oh, months or even years—please, get in touch.

Testimonials

"Frances is able to take any piece of writing to the next level. She sees each paragraph and each sentence from a different perspective from the writer and is able to not only perfect the work but to build on it. Calling her an editor or a ghostwriter is to say too little… she is a writing partner.”

“Everyone has a few secrets and Frances is my best-kept one. She is so skilled at figuring out exactly how I would write a particular phrase or idea that even I sometimes have a hard time telling what’s mine…and what isn’t.”
