Canny Book Writers

Plenty of people have a book in them and no spare months to write it. Canny Book Writers is a United States ghostwriting service built for that situation: the client supplies an idea, however rough, and the firm's writers take it through an outline and chapters to a finished manuscript.

How a project runs

According to the firm, a client begins by describing the topic, the length wanted and the genre. From there the writers produce an outline, then chapters, and the client stays involved at each stage. The site promises confidentiality and says the author keeps the rights to the book and the profits from it. It also claims that ghostwriters can match the voice and tone of the person whose name goes on the cover.

Kinds of book

• Fiction and nonfiction titles started from a blank page, with the writer doing the research.
• Ebooks, produced either from nothing or from documents the client already has.
• Memoirs and autobiographies, which depend on understanding who the author is so the story reads accurately and personally.
• Audiobooks, narrated by professional voices and produced with attention to sound quality.

The firm also writes articles for clients who need them quickly and do not have the time to draft them.

After the manuscript

Editing and formatting are available before release, and the firm will prepare a book for whichever platform the author chooses. A separate book promotion service aims to get finished titles in front of readers.

Why people commission a book

The site argues that a published book gives its author authority and credibility, and can bring public relations and media attention. It says its customers include business owners and entrepreneurs who want to widen their audience, along with first-time authors who want to tell a personal story. The firm describes its writers as experienced across hundreds of titles, which is its own claim.
