Co-Writing & Ghostwriting
Sometimes you may find yourself with a fabulous idea, but lacking the time or the wherewithal to take it any further. Hiring a co-writer or ghostwriter can get the job done when you need to let it go.
With co-writing, we would work together and share credit as authors. With ghostwriting, we would still work together to make sure your idea is brought to fruition, but you would retain all credit for authorship. Because each project can have many variables, please contact Annie to discuss pricing and options via the contact page.
