INTERNATIONAL NON FICTION GHOSTWRITER
Sarah Bullen is a professional ghostwriter who works on celebrity, business, or thought leadership books with a global reach. The Writing Room can also arrange another ghostwriter for your book depending on your genre and needs. We have over 20 writers on our books who can write and deliver a brilliant book for you.
Sarah's clients range from celebrities, to publishing houses, professionals with a focus on business success, personal success and health and wellness / spiritual / inspirational stories. Her niche is a book with tone and strong storytelling. I like to make books light, fun, readable and very publishable.
The term ghostwriting covers a lot of things. It may mean you have a series of professional articles / e-books or courses that you want to amalgamate into a larger body of work. It may mean you have nothing but your story in your head and you need someone to tell it to. It may mean you want you history as an individual, professional or company written into a readable book.
All of these things are the way we can work and the cost for your book will depend on what you currently have in WRITTEN format.
Ghostwriting a book is a long-term relationship. I need to understand the story but also to give your information a solid and readable structure, tone and an angle and edge. Although over the years I have written in many genres, currently I tend to focus on non-fiction - business, professional coaching, celebrity, biography, advice, lifestyle books, cookbooks or memoir.
Depending on our agreement, my name may be mentioned as co-author or not. Many of the books I write are celebrity memoir or I undertake on behalf of a larger company or author and the agreement is that my name is not on the book. (Some of these books are not listed below).
HOW DO I WORK?
As I take on only two books a year. We will organise a call to discuss your book and I will give you a quote. Most ghostwritten books take 12 months from first contact to final proof. Yes! Read that again. It takes a long time to write a book. I have written one in four months where the 'author' had a strong body of written content from talks, courses and workshops.
If we decide we like each other and we want to work together then I have a formal ghostwriting contract we will conclude and sign. That details payment terms, deadlines and obligations on both parties
WHAT DOES IT COST?
This depends on the style, length, tone and market. It also depends on how much written material you have. A ghostwritten non-fiction book can cost from between $20,000 - $35,000.
HOW DOES THE WRITING PROCESS WORK?
Most of the book will be written using a series of interviews I will do with you. We do not have to be in the same city or country. The biggest job is to get the first version of the book together. Once the book is written in the first draft, there were be a series of approvals, meetings, additions and rewrites until we find the right tone, story, thread and voice.
Writing a book is a long journey and we will spend a lot of time together. While I will write the book, it will contain your story and voice.
CAN I GUARANTEE YOU A PUBLISHER?
No. All of the books I have written where HAVE found publishers but I simply can't guarantee that.
DO I EDIT YOUR BOOK?
No. Writing and editing are totally different functions and best done by different people. Because I am an editor that does not mean I can edit my own work. This will be a separate cost. I do work with many editors and can refer you.

With all the content for my book in hand and a message I wanted to share, I needed someone to help me structure my thoughts and give life to my ideas. Sarah Bullen masterfully brought all the words together into a completed manuscript. Thank you for your patience, persistence, integrity and professionalism. You made my dream come true!

Expertise. Relatability.Proven System.
Being a first time author it was imperative for me when choosing a ghostwriter that these elements were off-the-bat evident.
Sarah not only has a proven system, she is a recognised expert in the world of ‘all things books’, but most importantly for me, she is relatable. I’m a difficult client to work with. Not very accommodating. Pedantic on what I want and don’t and Sarah took this all in her stride and managed not only the words on the page, but me. Juanane Frydman, The Stories We Tell 2020
