Ghostwriting.

If you can tell your story, we can write your book.

Every book begins with a conversation.

Each week, we meet on Zoom for about an hour, and you simply talk, sharing your stories, ideas, and experiences the way you would with a friend. I listen, ask the right questions, and turn our conversations into chapters written in your voice.

You'll receive each chapter in both written and audio format, so you can review it at your desk or listen on the go. Your book grows one chapter at a time, and you stay involved in every important decision without ever facing a blank page.

It's personal, it's flexible, and it's designed to make writing a book feel as natural as telling your story.

The Malachite Approach.

From first conversation to finished manuscript.

1. Plan your book.
We start by getting clear on your book's purpose, audience, and place in the market, then create a master plan and detailed outline so every chapter has direction.

2. Talk it through.
Each week, we meet on Zoom to talk about the next chapter. You share your stories and ideas, and I ask the questions that draw out your best material.

3. I write, you review.
I write one chapter each week in your voice and deliver it in both text and audio, so you can read it or listen on the go.

4. Polish to perfection.
Once your manuscript is complete, it goes through developmental editing, line editing, and proofreading, so it's ready for publishing.

Most projects take 5 to 8 months, with just 1 to 2 hours of your time each week.

Many books written and published by a ghostwriter

Made for meaningful stories and the people behind them.

Business owners and experts who want to build authority, share their knowledge, and attract new clients.

Leaders, speakers, and coaches with a message that deserves a bigger audience.

Storytellers and memoirists who have lived something meaningful and want it preserved.

Busy people with big ideas who know they have a book inside them but don't have the time, or the desire, to write it alone.

Let’s Work Together

  • "I’d like to sincerely thank writer and editor Hailey Nantais for helping me bring all the many pieces of my story together and shape them into a book that is now on its way to publication. Hailey has the rare ability to take a project from interview to fully formed story. Whenever I felt stuck or unclear, she helped me find the thread and move forward with confidence. If you’re looking for a writer and editor who is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and truly invested in your work, you’ve found the right person."

    —Pamela Shore
    Author of ‘Spiritual Dealer’

  • "This was our first book to get published. With it being my memoir, it was a very vulnerable time for me. Malachite Manuscripts was highly recommended, and we will be recommending them as well. Hailey did such a great job supporting, guiding and encouraging us every step of the way. We have other books that we will be placing in her caring, professional and supportive hands. Thank you! We are so grateful and appreciative for all you did to get us out there!"

    — Steve & Diana Winterfeld

  • "Hailey provided me with technical support from draft to finish. Her insight and knowledge were so helpful.Will definitely be working with her on my next book! She’s Yours to Take."

    —Lori Lewis
    Author of ‘She’s Yours to Keep’

  • "Rarely do I use the word blessed in business ventures; however, that is the word that describes working with a sweet dedicated professional like Hailey. She gave extra time to help me with tech issues which weren’t my strong suit as well as did her job in publishing a book that matched my vision. If you are looking for a professional who also embodies core values and goes the extra mile- picking her company would be the answer! Job well done!"
