How Authors in New York Can Work With Us

You bring the story, the expertise and the voice; a professional writer turns interviews and notes into a finished manuscript that reads like you, with your name on the cover.

New York is the centre of American traditional publishing, and many authors here weigh traditional and independent routes. We help you prepare a professional book or proposal for whichever path you choose.

There is no need to visit an office: consultations, reviews and approvals all happen online, scheduled in Eastern Time (EST/EDT).

Book Ghostwriting for authors in New York

Interview-led Manuscript Creation in the Author Voice

The work starts with conversations. Your writer interviews you in structured sessions, gathers your notes, documents and recordings, and builds a detailed outline that you approve before drafting begins. From there the manuscript is written chapter by chapter in your voice, and you review each batch so the book stays true to what you mean.

Confidentiality is part of the job: the writer is not credited, and the finished book is yours.

Writing services

What a professional writer brings to your book

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 CHAT

Structure that holds

Your book is planned chapter by chapter before drafting, so the finished manuscript reads as one connected whole rather than a collection of pieces.

Your voice, not ours

Interviews, samples and review rounds keep the writing sounding like you, whether the book is a memoir, a business book or a novel.

Time back in your life

You share your knowledge and stories in conversations; the writer turns them into polished pages on an agreed schedule.

Confidential and yours

Agreements cover confidentiality and confirm that you own the manuscript and the copyright when the project is complete.

USA

Publishing details for New York authors

Spelling and style

We edit and proofread in US English by default for American authors (color, organize, traveled), following common US style conventions, and can switch to Australian or UK spelling when needed.

ISBNs

In the United States, ISBNs are issued by Bowker. We help you buy and register them in your own name or your imprint's, so you are the publisher of record.

Legal deposit

US authors can register copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office, and publishers can apply for a Library of Congress Control Number before publication. We explain both and add them to your checklist where they apply.

Pricing

Quotes for US authors are confirmed in writing, including the currency, before any work begins. The main price factors are:
