We offer three ways of working, and you can switch between them as the project changes. In co-writing, you and a writer share the drafting: you write the scenes or chapters you feel strongest about, and the writer drafts the connecting material in your voice. In manuscript completion, the writer studies what you have written so far and carries the draft through to a complete manuscript, keeping your characters, arguments and tone intact.
In guided writing, you do all of the writing and the writer acts as your coach: setting chapter goals, reviewing each section, and giving specific notes on structure, pacing and clarity before you move on. Many first-time authors start here and finish faster than they expected, simply because someone is holding the plan.
A chapter-by-chapter outline agreed before drafting starts

Written feedback notes on structure, pacing and clarity
A complete manuscript ready for professional editing
All rights to the work remain with you
We talk through your idea, your goals and how involved you want to be.

Here is what you gain when your book is handled by a specialist writing team at Potter Publishers, working alongside editors, designers and publishing specialists under one roof.
LIVE CHATYour book is planned chapter by chapter before drafting, so the finished manuscript reads as one connected whole rather than a collection of pieces.
Interviews, samples and review rounds keep the writing sounding like you, whether the book is a memoir, a business book or a novel.
You share your knowledge and stories in conversations; the writer turns them into polished pages on an agreed schedule.
Agreements cover confidentiality and confirm that you own the manuscript and the copyright when the project is complete.
Every book is different, so we quote each project individually. The main factors are:
We are a full-service publishing team for independent authors in Australia and the United States. Writers, editors, designers and marketers work together on your book, so every stage connects and nothing is lost between suppliers.

An agreed outline, drafted or reviewed chapters delivered in milestones, written feedback on structure and clarity, and a complete manuscript ready for editing. The exact mix depends on whether you choose co-writing, manuscript completion or guided writing.
With ghostwriting, a writer drafts the whole book from interviews and you review it. With book writing services you stay actively involved in the writing itself, as a co-author or with a writer coaching you.
Yes. Manuscript completion is built for exactly that. The writer studies your existing pages first so the finished book reads as one consistent voice.
