Maybe you’ve had a novel in your head for years. Maybe you’ve started and stopped a manuscript three times. Maybe you just don’t have the time to sit down and write 80,000 words, even though the story is clear in your mind.
That’s where a fiction ghostwriter comes in. You bring the idea, the characters, the world you’ve imagined. We bring the writing skill and the hours it takes to turn that idea into a finished, readable book.
We usually reply within one business day.
- what it is
At Purple Giraffe Press, we work with people looking for a fiction ghostwriter for hire who will take their vision seriously, not water it down or turn it into something generic. Your name goes on the cover. Your story stays yours. We just do the heavy lifting of getting it onto the page.
We know that handing your story over to someone else can feel strange at first. It’s a personal thing, and it’s normal to wonder whether another writer can really capture what you’re picturing in your head. That’s why we spend time upfront getting to know your characters, your world, and the tone you’re after, before a single chapter is written. The goal is always the same. When you read the finished book, it should feel like the story you imagined, just written out properly.
- what we do
Every fiction project is different, so we don’t force your book into a fixed package. Here’s how we usually help.
You give us your idea, whether that’s a rough concept, a few chapters you’ve already written, or a detailed outline. We turn it into a complete manuscript, chapter by chapter, in your voice and style. You’ll see chapters as we go, so you can flag anything that doesn’t feel right early on, rather than waiting until the whole book is done.
We write across most fiction genres, including romance, mystery, thriller, fantasy, and action fiction. Ghostwriters are part of our team too, for stories that need pace, tension, and strong plotting. Tell us your genre, and we’ll match you with a writer who reads and understands that space.
Some clients have a strong idea but need help shaping it into a proper plot. We can work with you to build out characters, structure, and pacing before the actual writing begins.
Started a manuscript but got stuck halfway? We can pick up where you left off, matching your existing tone and finishing the story. This is one of the more common requests we get. A lot of writers get eighty per cent of the way through a book and then lose momentum, or hit a plot problem they can’t quite solve on their own. We read through what you’ve already written, work out where the story needs to go, and finish it in a way that feels like one continuous book, not two different writers stitched together.
If you’re planning a trilogy or an ongoing series, we can work with you across multiple books, keeping characters, timelines, and world details consistent from one book to the next. We keep detailed notes on names, dates, and backstory as we go, so book three still lines up with something you mentioned in book one.
If you’d rather write parts of the book yourself but want help polishing the rest, we can slot in wherever it’s useful. Some clients write a rough first pass and want us to smooth out the pacing and dialogue. Others write half the book and want us to finish the second half. We’re happy to work around whatever setup suits you.
- who we help
Our fiction ghostwriting clients come from all kinds of backgrounds. We regularly work with:
You don’t need any writing experience to work with us. You just need the story.
- what to look for
Not every ghostwriter suits every story. Before you hire someone, it helps to know what actually makes a good fit. Look for:
We’re happy to be judged against this list. If a ghostwriter can’t answer these questions clearly, that’s worth noticing before you sign anything.
- why it matters
Writing a novel isn’t just about correct sentences. It’s about holding a whole story together for tens of thousands of words while keeping it consistent, engaging, and true to your original idea. A few things make fiction writing genuinely hard to get right:
This is why we treat fiction ghostwriting as a craft, not a quick writing job. Getting these details right is what separates a book people finish from one they put down halfway through.

Children Book - how it works
We keep the process simple, so you always know what’s happening with your book.
Send us your idea, outline, notes, or existing chapters. Even a rough concept is enough to start a conversation.
We look at the scope of your project, including genre, length, and how much material you already have, and give you a straightforward quote before any writing starts.
For most projects, we write a short sample chapter first. This lets you check the voice and style before we commit to the full manuscript.
Once you approve the sample, we start writing. Depending on the project, we’ll send you chapters in batches so you can give feedback along the way rather than waiting until the very end.
Once the manuscript is complete and you’re happy with it, we hand over the final files. The finished book and all rights to it belong to you.

- why choose us
A few simple things make us a good fit for your novel.
The Purple Giraffe Press TeamAustralian Children’s Publisher Our writers focus on storytelling, not marketing copy or technical writing, so their skills stay sharp for exactly this kind of work.
You’ll know the cost before we start, not halfway through your manuscript.
As an Australian team offering fiction ghostwriting Australia-wide, we understand local publishing norms and are easy to reach in your own time zone.
Your idea isn’t just a job to us. We take the time to understand what you’re trying to say with your book, not just the plot points but the feeling you want readers to walk away with.
You’ll always know what stage your manuscript is at and what happens next. No long silences, no chasing us for updates.
We won’t promise a finished novel in a fortnight. Good fiction takes proper time to write, and we’ll tell you honestly how long yours is likely to take.
- author love
- pricing
Pricing for a ghostwritten novel depends on a few things: the length of the book, the genre, how much planning or outlining is needed, and how many rounds of feedback you want built into the process. A short novella costs less than a full-length series with three books.
We know that cost is often the first question people ask, so we aim to be an affordable fiction ghostwriting service without cutting corners on quality. Rather than quote a number that might not fit your project, we’ll ask a few questions about your book and send you a clear, written quote before any work begins. There’s no pressure to proceed after that quote. It’s simply so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Most quotes are broken down by stage, so you can see what you’re paying for the sample chapter, the main manuscript, and any revision rounds. If your budget is tight, tell us up front. We can sometimes adjust the scope, such as a shorter novel or fewer feedback rounds, to bring the project closer to what you can spend, without pretending a big project can be done for a small budget.
