LinkedIn ghostwriter, UK

We're two people. Peter writes, Naghmeh edits, and there is no third person to hand you to in month three.

Prices are published. They start at £3,500 a month, and you can read exactly what that buys without booking anything.

That's the whole pitch. The rest of this page is about how to choose one of us — meaning the category, not us specifically.

What a LinkedIn ghostwriter actually does

Very little of it is writing.

The job is extraction. Getting a specific, interesting, defensible opinion out of a person who has hundreds of them and has stopped being able to see which ones are worth saying.

The writing follows from that, and the writing is the easy part. Anyone competent can turn a good argument into a good post. Almost nobody can find the good argument in an hour of someone talking about their week.

If a prospective ghostwriter spends the first call talking about hooks, formats, posting frequency or a content calendar, they've told you which part of the job they think it is.

How to tell the good from the cheap

Ask who writes it. Not who's on the call — who types. Agencies at this price routinely sell you a senior name and staff you with someone two years out of university. It's the single most common complaint we hear from people arriving from an agency.

Ask who edits it. If the writer is also the editor, nobody is arguing with the first draft. That's how you get writing that's clean, competent and says nothing.

Ask how they'll learn your voice. If the answer is a questionnaire, walk. Voice doesn't survive a form. It comes out of hearing someone talk, at length, more than once.

Ask what they won't write. Anyone who says they'll write anything will write you something you'll regret defending.

Ask about their other clients. Then notice how carefully they answer. If they name names freely, that's what they'll do with yours.

The UK-specific bits

Most of the loudest firms in this space are American. Their writing is calibrated for an American audience, and the tell is unmistakable — the emotional register runs about 20% hotter than a British reader will accept, and "I'm humbled to announce" reads as sincere there and faintly ridiculous here.

There's also VAT. We're not VAT registered, so what's quoted is what leaves your account. A VAT-registered agency quoting £3,000 costs you £3,600. That comparison is rarely made for you.

And there's time zones, which sound trivial until you're rescheduling a weekly call across eight hours every week. We're split between the UK and Canada, which covers most of both.

What we charge

• The Writing Partnership — from £3,500/month
• The Full Partnership — from £5,500/month, adds placed bylines and quarterly positioning
• Positioning Intensive — from £2,500, credited against a partnership
• Perspective Session — £149, one hour, no commitment

Three months minimum on the partnerships, then month to month. Five clients at a time.

Who we work with

Founders, who have two stories and one feed.

Executives, who write under constraints founders never face.

Consultants, whose expertise is the product.

How it works

An hour a week on the phone with Peter. No brief, no questionnaire, no content calendar to fill in. You talk about what you're seeing and what's irritating you about it.

We listen for the argument underneath — the opinion, the pattern, the thing your buyers need to hear and aren't getting from anyone else in your category.

We write it so it sounds like you on a good day. Naghmeh edits every word before it reaches you, which matters more than it sounds: the editor never writes the first draft, so nothing ships that one person talked themselves into.

You publish. Nothing goes out without your approval.

It works because it's dull and because it doesn't stop. Inbound conversations usually start between month three and month six, and anyone quoting you a faster date is selling outreach with a different name on it.

Questions people ask first

Do you use AI to write it? Not for the writing. The product is a human voice that sounds like a specific human and there's no shortcut to that. Tools get used for research and admin, like everywhere else.

Who owns the writing? You do, on full payment. Your name, your idea, your copyright. We don't retain rights and we don't reuse it.

What if I don't like a draft? Say so. Nothing publishes without your approval, and the correction tells us something about your voice we didn't know.

Is it dishonest? Longer answer here. Short answer: the ideas have to be yours. That's the only rule that matters.

Can I cancel? Three months to start, then month to month.

Why you won't see client work

Almost everything is under NDA. There are no logos on this site and there never will be, and we won't ask to use your name either.

What you can judge us on is our own writing — this page, the rest of this site, and Peter's own work published under his own name. If a writing consultancy's website is badly written, that's the sample.
