Non-fiction ghostwriter
About the role
We're looking to add talented nonfiction ghostwriters to our Platinum Writer roster. We're a full-service ghostwriting company handling contracts, billing, client relationships, editorial support, and project management, so you can focus on writing. Our writers always know where a project stands, from book development through to the publishing party.
You'd be writing nonfiction self-help and memoir/self-help hybrid books—think frameworks that change behavior and narratives that change lives. If you've read Atomic Habits, Becoming, or Greenlights and thought, "I could write something like that," we want to talk.
What we look for
- Serious range across nonfiction styles
- Strong structural thinking (you understand the reader's transformation journey)
- Voice chameleon: you can write like the author, not like yourself
- Collaborative, not a lone wolf
- Genuinely loves books and the craft of writing them
- Handles feedback well and uses it to improve
- Adapts when deadlines shift or manuscripts need a pivot
Red flags
- Heavy AI reliance (all writing samples are run through AI checks; if you use it, you're out)
- Inconsistent or flaky
- Can't take feedback or work within a team
- Just looking for any available gig
Pay
Earnings depend on how many book projects you take on. Most writers clear $60,000 in their first year. As you build your book base, your earnings grow—long-term writers can earn even more. Loyalty bonuses are awarded when clients return for subsequent books.
Benefits
- First access to all incoming book projects before any other tier
- Weekly live training + access to our full training library
- Editorial and writing support throughout every project
- A team that handles the business side so you can focus on writing
- Long-term partnership, not a race-to-the-bottom freelance platform
