MG WRITING
Mark has six ghost-written books scattered through his writing history, various published articles and a plethora (yeah, I said "plethora") of pages of copy written for website content. He has also written hundreds of scripts for television broadcast and podcast content.
He is a master at communicating in YOUR voice, helping you find a confident, powerful voice to tell your story, presenting your ideas. Ghost writing is about sharing a better version of yourself, putting your best foot forward — ideally empowering the very BEST version of you in your BEST voice.
The Writing Experience
IF you were worried, perhaps even stressed about a writing experience...relax! You're NOT gonna believe how laid back, how simple and even how FUN a ghost writing experience can be. I got this! Honestly. You can just chill, take it easy, coast a bit and I will pull a book out of you; it's in there, it only needs a bit of time, patience, and a few good questions to coax it out of you. The writing retreat experience, usually three days and two nights in length, is about all it takes to furnish us with everything we need to complete a book.
How It Works:
-
Outline Agreement: We begin by establishing a detailed outline. Ideally, you (the author) will create this outline to ensure it accurately reflects your vision and the book's content. This can be a simple one-page document. Don't worry if you find this step challenging; I can assist you for a reasonable additional fee, regardless of the complexity.
-
Location Selection: I am based near Niagara Falls, one of the most inspiring locations for writing. You are welcome to join me here, conveniently located 50 minutes from Toronto Airport and 20 minutes from Buffalo/Niagara Airport. Alternatively, I have hosted writing retreats in Canmore, Alberta, and Los Angeles, California. We can choose a location that best suits your needs.
-
Content Gathering: Over a few days, we will dedicate 20-30 hours to gather content through digitally recorded sessions. These will be based on a series of question-and-answer dialogues and discussions aligned with the outline. Your primary role will be to respond to questions. Depending on the book's content, you may need to provide academically credible sources and verifiable evidence for certain assertions. However, in most cases, you will only need to share your ideas and vision. As a trained personal coach, I will facilitate the process by asking insightful questions.
The Agreement
If you want a better idea of what you're getting into with a ghost-writer, including approximate costs, check out this sample writing agreement. It should answer most of your questions. Keep in mind, these fees are about 30 - 50% less than engaging a corporate ghost writing agency.
And this service is PERSONAL. Last time I checked, I'm not a bot. I can pick up on the nuanced, unique idiosyncrasies that make you special; the amazing components of you that an AI program cannot navigate, comprehend or reflect in your book, article or content. My writing services are crafted in a culture of a relational paradigm, listening to and understanding the client - and it shows. My commitment to excellence begins with hearing you, hearing your heart. I would be delighted to journey with you!
