Ghostwriting in Lagos

What this service includes

Ghostwriting develops a manuscript from your ideas, interviews and source material, under the authorship arrangement agreed for the project. It can support a nonfiction book, memoir, professional biography or a speech.

• Book concepts, chapter outlines and manuscript development.
• Memoirs and biographies grounded in your recollections and records.
• Nonfiction and thought-leadership writing from your expertise.
• Keynote speeches, event remarks and personal addresses.
• Structural editing of a partial manuscript or collection of notes.

When professional help is useful

You may know your subject well but have little time to organise it into chapters. A life story might be scattered across recordings, notebooks and family conversations. A speech needs a different rhythm from a report. We help choose the structure, preserve the voice and make the material work for its intended audience.

The details that make the document useful

A useful manuscript begins with a clear reader and a manageable scope. We discuss what belongs in the story, what needs evidence and where an interview would improve the detail. For biographies and memoirs, quotations, dates and accounts involving other people require careful checking. You approve sensitive passages and arrange any specialist legal review needed before publication.

How we work on your brief

We start with a discovery conversation, sample source material and an outline. The agreement sets out milestones, interviews, authorship, usage rights and revisions. Drafting proceeds in agreed sections so you can review voice and accuracy before the manuscript becomes difficult to change. Publishing, printing and distribution are separate unless expressly included.

Writers and speakers in Ikoyi can arrange the brief remotely, including agreed interviews. As part of our professional writing services for Lagos clients, we tailor the format to the project rather than requiring travel.

What affects the price?

Length, research, interview time, subject complexity and the state of your material determine the quote. A short speech and a full book require very different schedules. We agree a realistic plan after seeing the brief rather than promising a fixed completion time for every manuscript.

What to send before we start

• The intended reader, central idea and reason for writing now.
• Recordings, notes, previous articles or existing chapters.
• Preferred voice and examples of writing you admire.
• Approximate length, event or publication date and approval process.

Related writing support

If the manuscript is already drafted, our book editing and proofreading service can focus on structure or sentence-level detail. For an organisation’s formal story, company profile writing may be a better fit.
