Ghostwriting for Politicians & Political Candidates

Politicians are in a position where they have to communicate effectively to wide swaths of the voting public all at once. Having a professionally written book in publication that effectively conveys who they are and what they stand for – along with their personal story and how they arrived at their political positions – leverages political figures in a powerful way to share exactly who they are.

Voters and potential voters who read these books come away feeling a personal connection to the political figures at their center that is deeper than what they might have formed through other means.

In general, the books Chi Media ghostwrites for political figures consist of 2 major elements: (1) the politician’s personal story and (2) the politician’s policy ideas. Sometimes these elements are interwoven; other times one follows the other. In all cases, the goal is to package for the public who the politician is and what values and goals they prioritize. 

We will make the ghostwriting process fluid and painless: it will consist of arranging a series of calls and meetings with the client, audio-recording our conversations about the book project, transcribing that audio in between our encounters, and using the resulting transcript to ghostwrite a publishable book in the client’s voice. Clients are delivered batches of pages and will have the ongoing opportunity to provide feedback and editorial notes. The resulting book will be deep-polished and ready to be presented to the public, either during campaign season or in advance of it.

If you’re a politician who has always been interested in having your own book – and/or always heard from voters, friends, and family that your story really needs to be told in writing – please contact us today to have a no-obligation discussion about the possibilities. Not only will we discuss rates and timelines, we can also arrange to provide a free custom sample (2-5 double-spaced pages) of work to demonstrate what we’ll do for you.
