Book ghostwriting is a writer, or a team, producing a full book under a founder’s or executive’s name, usually from a series of interviews. The buyers are founders, CEOs, enterprise executives and consultants who want a book to anchor their reputation or personal brand.
Four agencies on this site list the service. None publishes a monthly price. Two publish project figures: Scribe Media at about $44K to $135K+ per book, and Gotham Ghostwriters at a $12,000 placement fee plus the writer’s fee. CSuite Content and Celebrity Branding Agency price on request.
The four work in different ways. Scribe Media, formerly Book in a Box, is book-first and serves clients in the US and worldwide. Gotham Ghostwriters is a New York matchmaking network that pairs a client with a writer from a pool of more than 3,200. CSuite Content writes books alongside executive articles and LinkedIn posts, so a book can sit inside a longer thought leadership program. Celebrity Branding Agency, founded by Nick Nanton, builds a personal brand around a book and a documentary.
The list puts editor’s picks first, so CSuite Content leads. The rest follow by published monthly price from lowest, and since none publishes one, by name.

Of the 5 book ghostwriting agencies listed here, one publishes a monthly minimum: The Executive Quill, from $2,750 a month. The other 4 do not publish a monthly price, so ask each one for a quote.
It starts with an onboarding call or two in which the writer learns the author's voice, views and stories. After that the usual rhythm is a monthly or weekly interview, drafts sent for approval and a fixed number of posts each month.
Give it three months of steady posting before you judge it. Reach and profile views tend to move first; inbound leads, hires and deals come later and depend on the offer behind the posts. Of the 5 agencies on this page, 1 sell a monthly retainer or subscription, so budget for at least a quarter.
A freelance ghostwriter is one voice and one calendar. An agency adds a strategist, an editor and cover when a writer leaves. AI tools produce drafts and need an editor who knows the author. On this page, 1 of the 5 agencies are founder-led studios.
Usually not on the post itself. Most authors treat a ghostwriter the way executives treat a speechwriter: the ideas, the approval and the account are theirs. Authors in regulated jobs, such as fund managers or public company executives, should run posts past compliance before they go out.
