Bring a finished manuscript, a rough draft, or nothing but the stories in your head. We write it in your voice, publish it, and put it in the hands of the people who matter: your family, your clients, your world. Your name goes on the cover.
From the first phone call to copies in your hands.
Wherever you live, at times that suit your time zone.
No hourly bills and no surprises along the way.

For a leader, it is a salesperson who never sleeps. It sits on a buyer's desk when you are not in the room, and gets you meetings a cold call never could.
For a family, it is how a voice stays in the house. How grandchildren who never met her still get to know her. How a life becomes a gift that is handed on.
“Anyone can buy flowers. Very few people give someone their book.”
Every book starts with someone who has something worth keeping.
Imperfectly Beautiful Journey is a guided keepsake journal for a mother to share her life with her daughter. Thirty-seven chapters, from her first school days to her marriage, motherhood, career and faith, each opening with a warm note from Mom and space to write in her own hand. Not a book to be read, but one to be filled, one memory at a time, and passed down.
On AmazonNana carried the spirit of Ashanti with him all his life: its courage, its duty, its quiet strength. The Last Guardian of Ashanti put that legacy on paper, a story of a guardian chosen not by readiness but by responsibility, for his family and everyone who comes after.
For years she told friends how her faith carried her through. She always meant to write it down. We interviewed her chapter by chapter, wrote it in her voice, and published it with a dedication on the first page to the husband who walked every step with her.
Trish has spent her life developing leaders. Rising Leaders and The Key to Leadership took what she teaches in the room to people she may never meet.

His book Trade Works: The Trade Finance Investor made him a Wall Street Journal bestselling author, and its launch brought new leads straight to his fund.
On AmazonEvery author here said yes to being featured. Many others keep their books private to their families, and we never mention them.
Many of the people we write for are mothers and grandmothers. They raised families, built careers, kept their faith and lived through things their grandchildren can hardly imagine. They do not want to sit at a keyboard. They want someone patient to ask the right questions and get it right.
We talk by phone or video, wherever you live in the United States, at times that suit your time zone. An hour or two at a time. We record, transcribe and write it in your voice, and you read every chapter.
The town you grew up in. How you met. The children, the hard years and the good ones. Your faith, your recipes, the lessons you want passed on. Old photographs and letters too.
A finished memoir in hardcover and paperback, shipped to your door, ready for a birthday, Mother's Day, Christmas or a family reunion. Private to the family, or on Amazon if you wish.
Probably not, unless you put a serious marketing budget behind it. We will not promise you one.
What we will promise is a book that does its job: opens doors, closes deals, or stays in a family for generations.
Not for mass market books or anyone chasing a badge.
You bring the stories, or the manuscript if you already have one. A few hours of your time on calls. Everything else is on our team.
Before we write a word, we agree who the book is for and what it needs to do for them.
We shape the idea, the title and the chapters around the people you want to reach.
No manuscript yet? You talk, we write. Our writers and editors turn your conversations into a finished manuscript in your voice. Already written it? We pick up from there.

Instead of a brochure about dentistry, Dr. Eraldo Fezaj gave patients a book about what a smile does for a person's confidence. They passed it on, and referred the people they gave it to.

For professionals, a book is also a business asset
It earned under $1,000 in royalties. The business it brought in was the real return.
His book got him in front of investors who would not take a cold call.

Andreas Schweitzer's book Trade Works made him a bestselling author.
The worry everyone has is that the book will read like a template. Judge for yourself. Read the opening of Why and How to Write a Book by Amir Anzur, written on exactly this subject, and decide whether it sounds like a person or a machine.
A book outlives everything else you could spend this on. Both packages take you all the way to printed copies in their hands. The only difference is who writes it.

Your name goes on the cover, not ours. Everything shared in our conversations stays private, and everyone on our team signs a confidentiality agreement. We only feature an author, a book or a story on our website if they ask us to or we ask first and they say yes. If you would rather keep your book between you and your family, it stays that way.
“As a dentist I wrote about how a smile brings confidence. This was a much better gift to my clients than a salesy brochure. My clients referred other clients thanks to the book.”
EFDr. Eraldo FezajDentist“I stopped selling and started handing people my book. The meetings got easier and the deals got bigger.”

At aartec, a ghostwritten memoir is $3,500 with one of our professional ghostwriters, or $9,500 with one of our most senior master ghostwriters. Both include everything through to printed hardcover and paperback copies in your hands. Both are fixed fees in US dollars. Many memoir ghostwriters in the US charge $20,000 or more for the writing alone. Message us to start and we will send payment details. Paying in stages is fine, just ask.
You talk and we write. A ghostwriter interviews you by phone or video, an hour or two at a time, records the conversations and writes your memoir in your own voice. You read each chapter and tell us what feels right. You never face a blank page.
Yes. All you need is a telephone. We write with authors of every age, and a son, daughter or grandchild is welcome to help with email and photographs. We go at your pace.
Yes, in all 50 states. Conversations happen by phone or video at times that suit your time zone, and printed copies are shipped to your door, or straight to your children and grandchildren.
Yes. Many of our books are gifts from children and grandchildren. We work with you and the family to gather the stories, photographs and memories, and plan the book for a birthday, an anniversary, Mother's Day, Christmas or a family reunion.
No, and we would not take your money for one. A manipulated one hour category ranking is vanity, not a result. Success is the book in the right hands: revenue, doors opened, speaking invitations, or a family that keeps it forever.
Yes. That is exactly who we write for. She only needs to talk. We ask the questions, record the conversations and write the book in her voice. She reads it and tells us what feels right.
A book sells for you when you are not in the room, because a buyer who reads your thinking trusts you before the first meeting. It opens doors, since event organizers and senior people take an author seriously. And it makes you sharper, because putting twenty years of experience into a clear book forces you to work out exactly what you do and why it matters.
Not from us. Your name goes on the cover and ours does not. Confidentiality is written into our agreement and every writer and editor signs it. We only ever mention you, your book or your story on our website or anywhere else if you say yes first. Plenty of the books on your shelf were written this way.
Four to sixteen weeks from first call to a finished printed book. Around four weeks if you already have a manuscript, longer if we write it with you. Most of your input is recorded conversations, an hour or two at a time. You never sit in front of a blank page.
Even better. We take your manuscript through editing, design, ISBN, printing, Amazon, the website and the launch.
You do. The copyright, the files, the Amazon listing and every royalty are yours. Reprint, translate or update it whenever you like.
Please do. We take good care of the people you introduce, and if they go ahead we thank you with 20% of their fee, as cash or as a discount for them. Details are on the introductions page.
Read them in an evening. They cover why a book matters, what to write about, and how to get it done without giving up your weekends.
