 Hello, I'm Christopher Richards. I ghostwrite business books for consultants, executive coaches, and company presidents. I also coach people to write their own books via hourly coaching sessions.
If you're like most of the people I help, you've probably tried to write your book yourself. Now you realize just how much time and effort is involved. I can help you organize your ideas and turn them into the book you've always wanted. While each client is different, a common element to a successful project is my relationship with you. Asking the right questions and listening to your responses is the foundation of my work with you. My job is to make the process of writing your book as easy, efficient, and as painless as possible. It will take some of your time for regular meetings (usually by phone), and you will need to read and comment on the material I've written for you. You can find more in the section on ghostwriting and fees. Please contact me and I'll be happy to talk with you about your project.

You’re an expert. You know what you’re doing. You’ve copious notes and handouts. You’ve years of experience, and now it’s time to demonstrate your credibility. Authoring a book in your area of expertise is a valid claim to authority. Consultants and service professionals market their businesses by referrals, networking, and speaking engagements. The words author and authority have the same root. Effective writing is aimed at a specific readership. Who are you writing for? The purpose of business writing is to inform, instruct, or persuade. The question the writer needs answering is: what does this readership need to know now? Your readers probably don’t have a lot of time, so make your information clear and easy to access. Business writing can be serious without being somber. Is there an opportunity to make your book lively and fun? Popular business books adopt a relaxed, informative, and conversational style. Readers become engaged by the stories you tell. Real-world examples show your ideas in action. Business books are getting shorter. And that means your writing needs to be to the point. This is called writing tight. Short text isn’t intimidating. Less is more. However, in order to create a tightly-written book, the first drafts will be longer and include much material that will later be discarded. This process usually helps authors discover new and better ways of understanding their subject matter.
Writing your book is a significant achievement. It's hard work and takes time. And it's this fact that gives you, as author, the edge. |
