X ghostwriting is posts written for a founder’s or executive’s account on X, formerly Twitter, under their own name. The buyers are mostly founders and investors in tech; some agencies here focus on Web3 and AI founders in particular.
Five agencies on this site list the service. Two publish a monthly minimum: The Media Engine from $3,500 and Pete Codes from $3,900, where LinkedIn plus X together runs $7,000 a month. ContentGhost and NUOPTIMA price on request, and Ghost sells by project, with a flagship package from $25,000.
The five differ in how central X is to the work. ContentGhost is X-first, works Eastern Time hours and keeps a waitlist. Pete Codes is a solo-led service in Edinburgh that adds X to LinkedIn and newsletter writing. NUOPTIMA is a London growth agency with separate LinkedIn and X ghostwriting lines. The Media Engine writes LinkedIn and X content for founders, agency owners and consultants from offices in London, Milan and Sydney. Ghost is a New York collective of writers and journalists working with founders and VCs.

Of the 6 X ghostwriting agencies listed here, 3 publish a monthly minimum, from $2,750 a month (The Executive Quill) to $3,900 a month (Pete Codes). The other 3 do not publish a monthly price, so ask each one for a quote. A published minimum buys the entry tier; more posts, more formats or a second author cost more.
How does working with a ghostwriting agency work?
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.
How long until LinkedIn content gets results?
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 6 agencies on this page, 3 sell a monthly retainer or subscription, so budget for at least a quarter.
Ghostwriter, agency or AI tool?
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, 3 of the 6 agencies are founder-led studios.
Is ghostwriting disclosed?
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.
