Okay, it’s time for some shameless self-promotion! There are many reasons why you should hire a professional ghostwriter for your novel or non-fiction book, and many more reasons why that person should be me. But after much thought, to fit them into one post, I’ve narrowed down the reasons to the top five.

1. My Expertise

The job of the book developer or ghostwriter is multi-faceted. There are, of course, the mechanical skills of writing, including sentence structure, grammar, punctuation, and all the rest. But every book is based on an idea or a series of ideas. At Thomas Hauck Book Development, when you’re my valued client, I work closely with you to ensure that your ideas are conveyed to your readers in a way that’s professional, clear, easy to grasp, and entertaining. I never use any AI software such as ChatGPT because they only make your book generic, boring, and lacking in value to the reader. Also, there are an increasing number of plagiarism cases being filed against AI writing platforms – and you don’t want to get mixed up in those!

2. Depth of Experience

I started my writing career at my high school newspaper, and I’ve been a writer ever since. In 2007, I became a full-time, professional book writer, developer, and editor. It’s all I do, every day. I’ve ghostwritten, edited, or developed nearly 500 books in all genres, both fiction and non-fiction. (Full disclosure: I’ve never done a book of poetry.) Few writers of any genre have more experience than I do.

I’ve also had extensive experience in the publishing industry, dealing with literary agents and publishing house editors. It’s my job to ensure my author client is successful with his or her publishing partners, and that everyone is always on the same page, with the goal of publishing a successful, profitable book.

3. Passion for Learning

To be a successful ghostwriter, while you need to be generally well-informed, you absolutely must have a passion for learning about new topics and researching them. From behind my desk at Thomas Hauck Book Development, I’ve built my career on being able to learn about my clients’ subjects and write about them with authority. From retirement accounts to oil rigs, protein supplements to international banking, I’m ready to help you become the thought leader in your field.

4. Easygoing Personality

There are many experiences in life that are stressful, and writing a book should not be one of them! My business model is based on a no-pressure, pay-as-you-go model. Some clients want their books written ASAP, while others take a leisrurely pace. It’s all good! I’m always available for questions and planning sessions. I usually write in milestones or sections of 5,000 words each, and there are never any surprises. We have an outline, which is the game plan, but it’s flexible. There are never any reasons to worry. Your 100% happiness is my goal!

5. Dependability

Your book is important to you. It may represent a significant investment of your time and money. Too many times I hear clients tell me their previous ghostwriter or editor didn’t deliver, or was out of touch, or missed a deadline. To me, that’s crazy! I happen to love my work, and when I wake up each morning, I feel lucky that I’m able to spend the day writing or editing a book that may change someone’s life. It’s both an honor and a privilege to serve you, and you can depend on Thomas Hauck Book Development to deliver a manuscript that’s ready to publish!

I look forward to serving you!
