Layne McDonald
Original oil painting for Ghostwriting Book Interview Session

Ghostwriting Book Interview Session

Your book is already in you. It lives in the stories you tell out loud. We start there.

A recorded interview session that draws a book out of its author: life, lessons, and voice captured in conversation, the raw material a manuscript is built from.

The issue

Most unwritten books are not unwritten for lack of content. They are unwritten because sitting down to type feels impossible, so years of wisdom stay unrecorded.

The fix

Talk instead of type. A guided interview pulls the stories and the structure out in your own words and your own voice, ready to be shaped into chapters.

How I help

I write books the same way I do everything else here: in the author's real voice or not at all. My own name is on nine published books, and the interview method is how we start yours, with your stories leading and my questions keeping the spine straight.

Why it matters

A book outlives every platform. The people who need your lessons cannot wait for you to become a typist first.
