Bookspert is a ghostwriting and publishing service for founders, executives and experts who want a book under their own name. A dedicated writer interviews the author and writes the book; Bookspert then designs the cover, publishes it on Amazon and promotes the launch. Bookspert works with authors in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada.
What we do
Everything between your expertise and a finished book.
Writing a book is hard, slow and easy to abandon. We remove every step that stops busy leaders from finishing — and do it for you.
We write it
You're matched with a dedicated, native-English writer from our team of ghostwriters. A simple questionnaire and a few conversations are all it takes — they handle the manuscript, with unlimited proofreading until it's right.
We design it
A custom cover, interior layout and eBook formatting, crafted to sit comfortably next to the best books in your category — and to look the part on every screen and shelf.
We publish it
We take care of publishing on Amazon and getting printed copies to your door. You keep 100% of the royalties on your first book — the goal is to build your audience, not take your revenue.
We promote it
A global PR push, our newsletter to 90,000+ opted-in LinkedIn subscribers with a 30% open rate, submission to 50+ publishing partners as your agent and a network of book-reviewing influencers promote your title from day one.
How it works
From idea to a published book, step by step.
A clear, five-step path with a single person responsible for your book at every stage. You stay in control; we do the heavy lifting.
Start your book01
Discovery call
We learn your story, your goals and the book only you could write. No pressure, no jargon — just a conversation about what you want your name to stand for.
02
Your dedicated writer
You're paired with a writer who fits your voice and field. A guided questionnaire captures your ideas, experience and the points you most want to make.
03
Writing & proofreading
Your writer drafts the manuscript chapter by chapter. You review as you go, with unlimited proofreading until every page sounds like you. The writing typically takes about three months.
04
Cover & publishing
We design the cover and interior, format the eBook and publish to Amazon. Once your manuscript is complete, publication takes about 7 days. Printed copies arrive at your door — your book, finished and real.
05
Launch & promotion
A PR campaign across a network of 300+ outlets, our newsletter, submissions to publishing partners as your agent and our reviewer network go to work — turning a published book into a known one.
Distribution
A finished book is step one. We get it read.
Anyone can put a book on Amazon. The difference is who sees it. We promote your book four ways — built on the reach of our parent company, Xraised.
50+ Global publishing partners
Global publishing partners
We act as your agent, applying to 50+ publishing partners worldwide on your behalf. Each partner decides, so acceptance isn't guaranteed; a partner that accepts your book sells it in its stores. 9 in 10 of our authors are accepted by at least one.
