Nonfiction Ghostwriting

“I highly recommend John Parsons for your next book project. He is wise, experienced, reliable, creative, and absolutely committed to bringing out the best in his authors. He was a guiding light and a great partner throughout the entire process of writing my book.”

Ghostwriting doesn’t begin to describe what John does. He absorbs and transforms the author’s mental outline into a coherent and highly readable book. John is a wise choice for your book. He will lessen the burden, add joy to the process, and heighten the book’s prospects of success.

John was critical to me being able to successfully write and publish my book, The Gain Principle. Not only did he do the heavy lifting of turning my words from a vision and concept into a solid final draft, but he was instrumental in helping me establish the voice. He also guided me in naming the cycles of growth, therefore key in creating the acronym that became the book title. He is great to work with and makes it really easy to turn your vision into a real book.

I had the privilege of collaborating with John on a recent book project. Quite frankly, his involvement took the project to a higher level. He has a unique way of finding someone’s inner voice as well as the intent of the message. His writing puts those two things together in an illustrative and impactful way. I recommend John to anyone looking to get their ideas into a powerful written manuscript.

John is a visionary, critical, and creative thinker, and is highly regarded as a writer and editor. With me, he co-authored the first-ever interactive printed textbook, Introduction to Graphic Communication, which is now the “go-to” book for graphic communication education and industry training.

Do you have a book in you? I would love to support you and help bring that book to life. Here is what I bring to the process:

  • Active listening. From our conversations, I will get clear insights and a deep understanding of your passion and priorities. This is something that generative AI will never do for you.

  • Writing the manuscript in your voice; you’re in the driver’s seat.

  • Structuring and organizing the book into a publishing-ready state.

  • Creating a great experience for the reader, including tone, style, flow, and even illustration ideas.
