Process
Though we offer a range of writing and editing services, we are uniquely positioned to help authors develop books from concept to fruition. Many of our clients come to us wondering how to write a book with no experience. Pithy Wordsmithery’s 15+ years of experience ghostwriting best-selling books—projects that come to us in all states, from just the seed of an idea to a working outline and drafted chapters—makes us the perfect partner.
When authors take the time and effort to write and publish a book, the finished product should yield maximum ROI. To do that, it’s essential to build the content in a way that sets authors up to meet their goals when the book is released. Pithy Wordsmithery has experience building content as a marketing piece, which is a crucial element for giving a book traction. In addition to selling copies, we work with authors to ensure their book is a tool for driving revenue through other products and services they provide.
The experience of writing a book is different for every author, which is why we tailor our approach to meet each person’s individual needs. Over the course of a project, we correspond with clients via phone, video chat, email, and typically a few times in person. Frequent communication is helpful for keeping the project on track and allowing us to get a feel for the author’s voice. Because our standard is the highest level of quality, we recommend at least six months to write and edit most business books, whether going through a traditional publishing house or self-publishing.
Your involvement varies. We’ll collaborate to understand your vision, goals, and preferences. Your input guides the process, from outlining to revisions, ensuring the final manuscript reflects your ideas.
Our book outlining process is tailored to your preferences. We begin with discussions to understand your ideas, objectives, and key points. From there, we collaboratively create an organized structure that serves as a roadmap for your book’s content. Your input is vital throughout this phase to ensure the outline aligns perfectly with your vision.
We take time to understand your voice and style. Through interviews and shared materials, we capture your essence and craft the content in a way that feels authentically you.
Confidentiality is paramount. We sign non-disclosure agreements, and your content remains secure throughout the process.
Timelines vary based on project scope. A nonfiction book can take several months to a year, considering research, writing, and revisions.
