Few book companies have the professional experience crafting great books. The ones that do are expensive, slow, and cumbersome.
‍
After advising more than 500+ non-fiction authors from ideation to launch, we know what it takes to craft a truly compelling book to reach your audience and generate real ROI.
‍
But instead of the process being confusing, draining, and wildly expensive, it's clear, exciting, and affordable. Plus, you'll own everything.
Collaborate with a team that has worked with some of the biggest authors today. Â We'll help you flesh out your book idea, nail your book positioning, and pinpoint your audience so we can create a detailed outline to ensure we write the right book. (2-4 weeks)
Your book means your voice -- but it doesn't mean you have to write it. You're going to speak it. We'll interview you over the course of two days to tease out your best wisdom based on the outline and publishing goals we've developed together.
Leveraging our industry knowledge, modern technology, and extensive experience, we'll transcribe the interviews, extract your expertise, and craft the book in your voice.
Our guarantee: we start recording on a Monday, you'll have the first draft by Sunday. No headaches, no back and forth. Your book in 25x less time at 25% the cost.
It's no secret that the goal in book writing is completing a solid first draft. From there, it's a matter of fine tuning and excellent editing. But since traditional ghostwriting is slow, expensive, and often unstructured, most people never publish the book living inside them.
‍
The traditional ghostwriting process takes a high-quality ghostwriter at least six months to write a first draft, costing between $40,000 and $150,000. It also requires 40-60 hours from the author, which consistently creates stress being pulled away from work and home life.
Additionally, authors often need to still figure out where to publish and how to market their book after their manuscript is written.
We've revolutionized all of it. From the book positioning, to the writing, to the editing, pre-launch, and launch, we've modernized the book writing and publishing process to save you time, money, and headaches.
We're here to help you make an impact. Our team has worked with today's biggest thought leaders and helped sell over over 10 million books. We know what it takes to write excellent books and help authors reach their publishing goals.
‍
Leveraging a suite of different modern tools, we streamline many parts of the creation process, all while writing a book from your words and voice. What was once impossible is now entirely achievable. We can't wait to show you how.
The first draft of anything is shit." -Enerst Hemingway
‍
The person who doesn't write their book is the one who fails to finish the first draft. Those who go on to become authors, finish their first draft. That's why the goal is to complete that once daunting first draft.
The truth is, C+ drafts make A+ books. The first draft won't be your final draft, but the hard work will be done and you can be confident your book will be finished.
That's why our goal is to get you to a first draft in one week. Then you can spend the extra time focused on taking it from good to great.
To truly succeed in writing a great book, you need world-class experts to guide you. That's where we come in. We've spent 15 years in the ghostwriting and publishing industry, working on New York Times bestsellers and mastering the art of creating ultra-successful books.
We'll help you figure out the right book to write by working with you to curate your outline, table of contents, audience, and more. When it comes to the interview process, we know what questions to ask to tease the book out of you. And when it comes to the writing, we know the write hooks and structure that will win your readers over.
We've worked directly with authors like:
-Tim Ferriss
-Ramit Sethi
-Codie Sanchez
-Tucker Max
-Noah Kagan
-Chase Jarvis
Authors like James Clear, Ali Abdaal, Eric Ries, Charles Duhigg, Mark Manson, and Gary Vaynerchuk have all come to us for advice.
A great launch can be as important as a great book. Don't worry, we don't leave you hanging.
Whether you want to work with us just for writing, or you want us to handle everything from ideation to launch, you'll have the resources you need to help you reach your publishing goals.
All First Draft in a Week members gain access to a wide-ranging suite of resources, tips, and warm introductions to top talent.

If ANY of these descriptions apply to you, you're likely a good fit.
Whether you're a founder, consultant, coach, or an industry expert, you know you have a book in you. You're just not sure which publishing path to take, who all you need to hire, or how to do this right. You're also unsure of which goals are realistic for you, and which goals are not worth pursuing (or are simply just fantasies).
You’ve achieved some outcome that people continually ask you for advice about. And you often get paid well to help others get that outcome. People might have even asked you: Do you have a book? or When are you going to write a book?
You have a proven process, inarguable expertise, and demand that’s resulting in paying clients. You’re ready to throw gas on the fire you’ve started, all while elevating your brand, business, and career.
You've accomplished a lot, and now you want to immortalize your wisdom. You know the way to do that is to put your lessons learned into a book, so you can share your contributions with humanity for decades to come.
You are busy running your business and living your life. You don’t have time to waste going through unnecessary steps and headaches. You want a clear cut path to getting your book done. You also understand that it will cost a decent chunk of change, effort, and time in order to make it great. You’re both willing and able to invest ample resources into the project.
It’s not easy to put yourself out there. I’ve met very few authors who weren’t doubting themselves somewhere along in the process. Even if your book is the most cut-and-dry manual for your niche, it’s still a creative act. And that requires vulnerability and courage. This program is designed to support and guide you through those challenging moments, so you can boldly step into the spotlight when your time comes.
While this program is still great for authors who just want to write one book, my aim is to provide you with a process that you can use for the rest of your career. That means you’re equipped with the ability — at least in theory — to churn out a book every year, if that’s what you want. So if that’s you, the program is a solid investment in your future as an author.
