William Hammett

You've got a great idea for a book, but you don't know what to do next. If you want an honest evaluation from a ghostwriter with integrity and experience, then read on and browse the site. You will not be confronted with hype, an office staff, or a sales pitch.

I have over twenty-five years experience writing and editing full-length manuscripts. During that time, my work was shaped by some of the most influential agents, editors, and staff at Simon and Schuster, Macmillan, Oxford University Press, Scholastic Press, McIntosh and Otis, and others.

I know the literary marketplace and publishing. I know how and why books make it into bookstores. If we work together, my goal is to produce a polished manuscript that is far superior to what you are likely to get from similar services. In addition to reviews from smaller publications around the country, some of my clients have been reviewed or interviewed by the following:

I have worked for celebrities, first-time authors, Hollywood directors, movie producers, doctors, sportsmen, educators, academics, motivational speakers, headline-makers, housewives, retirees, businessmen and women – people from all walks of life. (Please review my Writing/Editing Credits page to see a small sample of the work I've done for clients, as well as books written under my own name.)

There are dozens of people who come perilously close to promising clients a bestseller. They should be selling used cars, not making empty promises about writing. From large publishing houses to independent presses to small publishers to print-on-demand, I'll let you know where you stand in your quest for publication. And, unlike most of the larger ghostwriting companies, work is never subcontracted out to freelancers across the country. If you hire me, I'm the one who will be doing the writing and editing.
