Ghostwriter & Book Producer – Finance & Investing
Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only
We are seeking an experienced Ghostwriter and Book Producer to develop a finance and financial literacy book almost entirely from scratch and deliver it as a turnkey project. At this stage, we have only the general subject area defined — there is no draft, outline, title, or prepared manuscript material. The author will not be involved in the writing process itself; his role is to publicly represent the finished book through presentations, interviews, and PR. This is primarily a ghostwriting and publishing-production engagement, not a standard edit of existing material. Key Responsibilities: - Market Research & Concept Development: Research current public interest and reader needs in finance and financial literacy; identify the most relevant, engaging, and valuable angle for a broad audience today. Develop the book's overall concept and positioning, and propose a title. - Full Manuscript Ghostwriting: Build the complete chapter structure and write the entire manuscript from scratch, translating financial concepts into a coherent, engaging non-fiction narrative accessible to a general readership while maintaining technical accuracy. - Author Collaboration: Coordinate with the author (Vasyl) as needed for background information, fact verification, and approval of key decisions — the author is not expected to prepare drafts or be deeply involved in the writing process. - Line Editing & Refinement: Refine tone, clarity, and readability across the manuscript to modern non-fiction publishing standards. - Publishing Strategy & Guidance: Provide end-to-end guidance through the publishing process (self-publishing setup, formatting standards, cover/layout considerations, or traditional query prep, depending on strategy). Preferred Qualifications: - Proven track record ghostwriting or producing non-fiction books, ideally where the credited author had limited involvement in the writing process. - Prior experience with titles in finance, economics, investing, or business. - Strong understanding of book structure, pacing, and modern non-fiction publishing standards. - Excellent project management and communication skills, including the ability to work independently
