A Note on Big Promises From Big Companies

Beware the ghostwriting factory.

The Agency Model
  • A salesperson pitches you, then hands you off
  • Your book is split into chapters and divided among strangers
  • Writers are paid pennies to hit a deadline, not tell your story
  • Manuscripts are mass-produced and quickly forgotten
Working With Me
  • You talk to me — before we start and every step after
  • One writer on your project, always. Never subcontracted, never AI
  • 15+ years building commercially successful, bestselling books
  • A collaborative process shaped around your voice, not a template

How We Work Together

A process built around you, not a pipeline.

01

Consultation

I want to get to know you — your goals, your story, and what "finished" looks like to you.

02

Planning

Before a word is drafted, we spend real time on your vision and voice. No shortcuts here.

03

Outlining

A comprehensive outline becomes the roadmap for your entire book.

04

Drafting

I write, you weigh in at every stage — it's collaborative, and you always have final say.

05

Editing

As many rounds as it takes to match your vision and meet market standards.

06

Publishing

There's no one-size-fits-all path to print. I guide you through the plan that fits your book.

Amber L. Cross

Amber L. Cross, ghostwriter

In the summer after my fifth grade year, every Sunday morning, my father would open up the paper and circle all of the garage sales we would hit once he finished his coffee. We were never looking for anything in particular. We simply enjoyed browsing the discarded artifacts of other people's lives. One day, I came across an antique typewriter that must have weighed half my body weight. They were only asking $5, so I laid out my crumpled money and took it home. I spent the rest of that summer clacking away on that old type writer. I wrote a story about a young girl who found a way to time travel through the use of her typewriter (wishful thinking I guess).

I hold a B.A. in English Literature and Education and an M.S. in Library and Information Science. I spent many years teaching writing before becoming a full-time ghostwriter. For 15+ years, I've worked independently, never part of a big faceless company, across memoir, romance, literary fiction, science fiction, self-help, business, and medicine, with clients ranging from first-time authors to professional athletes and politicians.

Every project gets my full, undivided attention from the first conversation to published book.
