Do you have a story idea sitting in your head but no time or confidence to write it? Maybe you are a parent who wants to turn bedtime stories into a real book. Maybe you run a business and want a picture book that tells your brand's story to little readers. Whatever the reason, Purple Giraffe Press can help.
We offer children's ghostwriting services in Dublin for parents, teachers, business owners, and first-time authors. You bring the idea. We bring the writing skill. The book that comes out the other end has your name on the cover, not ours.
We usually reply within one business day.
- who we are
Working with ghostwriters in Dublin means you get someone who understands the local market, the local schools, and the local reading culture. We are not a faceless agency based abroad. We are a small team that actually reads and cares about children's books.
- what it is
Ghostwriting means someone else writes the book, but you own it fully. Your name goes on the cover. You keep all rights. You make the final decisions on the story.
A ghostwriter takes your idea, whether it is a full plot, a rough concept, or just a feeling you want the book to give children, and turns it into a finished manuscript. We ask questions, we draft, we revise, and we hand you a polished story ready for print or for an ebook platform.
Some clients come to us with a full outline. Others come with a single sentence, like "I want a story about a shy dragon who learns to make friends." Both are fine. Our job is to meet you where you are.
- what we offer
Not every children's book project is the same, so we split our work into clear categories.
These are short, simple stories, usually under 1,000 words, meant to be read aloud or shared between a parent and child. We focus on rhythm, repetition, and words that are easy on the tongue for both the reader and the listener.
For children who are starting to read on their own, we write slightly longer stories with simple sentences, clear chapters, and a plot that keeps young readers turning pages.
For readers aged roughly 8 to 12, we write fuller stories with more complex characters, subplots, and themes like friendship, courage, or family. This is where our affordable fiction ghostwriting services in Dublin really shine, since middle-grade books often need the most planning and structure.
Some of our clients are schools, charities, or businesses that want a story that teaches a lesson or introduces a brand to children in a friendly way. We write these with a clear message but without sounding like a lecture.
More families and small publishers are choosing digital release first. If you want your book to reach readers through platforms like Amazon Kindle or Apple Books, we can format the writing style and pacing to suit screen reading. Many clients ask us for the best ebook ghostwriting services in Dublin because they want a story that works just as well on a tablet as it does in print.
- every age group
Every children's book needs a writing style that matches its readers. The vocabulary, characters, themes, and storytelling approach all change depending on the age group your story is created for. We help shape your idea into a manuscript that feels natural for its intended audience.
These stories focus on simple language, repetition, rhythm, and gentle ideas that work well for shared reading with parents and carers.
Picture books need engaging characters, memorable storytelling, and a strong read-aloud flow that keeps young children interested from page to page.
These books require clear sentences, age-appropriate vocabulary, and structured storytelling that helps children build confidence as they read independently.
Middle-grade stories allow for deeper characters, bigger adventures, and more developed themes while keeping the language suitable for younger readers.
Choosing the right age group helps us create the correct tone, structure, and storytelling style so your finished book connects with the children it is written for.
- who we help
- what to look for
Not every ghostwriter is the right fit for a children's project. Before you hire anyone, ask these questions.
A good ghostwriter will answer all of these without hesitation. If someone dodges a question or gets vague about rights, that is a warning sign.
- why it matters
Writing for children looks simple from the outside, but it is a specific skill.
Getting this right the first time saves you from rewrites, wasted printing costs, and a book that does not land the way you hoped.

Children Book - how it works
We start with a chat about your idea, your goals for the book, and your budget. This can happen over the phone, on a video call, or by email if that suits you better.
Before any full writing starts, we put together a short outline or synopsis. You review it and tell us what to change. Nothing goes to full draft until you are happy with the shape of the story.
Our writer produces a complete first draft based on the approved outline. You get the full manuscript to read through in your own time.
You send back your notes, and we make the changes. Most projects include a set number of revision rounds as part of the agreed price.
Once you are happy, we hand over the finished, proofread manuscript. From there, it is ready for an illustrator, a printer, or an ebook upload.
Some clients want help with a sequel, a series, or advice on next steps for publishing. We are happy to keep working with you after the first book is done.
- why choose us
The Purple Giraffe Press TeamAustralian Children’s Publisher Many ghostwriting services treat children's books as a side offering. For us, it is a main focus, so the writers we assign actually know the genre.
Your name is the author. You hold the rights. We do not make any claim to the finished story.
We quote based on your project, not a vague hourly rate that grows without warning.
As a team working with Dublin clients, we understand Irish spelling, local references, and the kind of stories that resonate with Irish families and schools.
If your idea needs shaping before it will work as a book, we will tell you early, not after you have paid in full.
We can point you toward illustrators and self-publishing platforms if you need that next step, even though that part is outside our own service.
- author love
- pricing
This is one of the most common questions we get, so we will be straight about it. Children's book ghostwriting services cost in Dublin varies quite a lot depending on the length of the book, the complexity of the story, and how many revision rounds you need.
A short picture book manuscript costs less than a full middle-grade novel with subplots and multiple characters. Educational storybooks for schools or charities often sit somewhere in between, depending on the research needed.
We do not publish a flat rate on this page because doing so would be misleading. Every project is different. What we can promise is a clear, written quote before any work begins, so you know exactly what you are paying for and what is included.
If budget is a concern, tell us early. We can often adjust scope, such as a shorter word count or fewer illustration notes, to fit what you have to spend. We aim to be a children's book affordable ghostwriting services in Dublin option for families and small businesses, not just larger publishers with big budgets.
We also find that being upfront about budget at the start saves everyone time. There is no point in drafting a full quote for a 40,000-word novel when your plan was always a short 500-word picture book. Tell us your rough budget and your rough vision, and we will tell you honestly what fits and what does not.

Honest answers to the questions Dublin authors ask us most. If yours is not here, a quick consultation will cover it.
Book a Free Consultation →No. Most of our clients are in Dublin, but we also work with families and businesses in London and other cities. Everything is handled by phone, video call, and email, so location is not a barrier.
It depends on the length and complexity. A short picture book manuscript can be ready in a few weeks. A longer middle-grade novel takes more time because of the extra planning and revision involved.
We understand budgets are tight for a lot of families. We are often asked for cheap ghostwriter services in Dublin, and while we cannot compromise on quality, we can adjust the scope of a project, such as word count or number of revisions, to suit a smaller budget.
No. Some clients arrive with a single sentence or a feeling they want the book to capture. We will ask questions and help you shape that into a proper outline before any full writing begins.
