Our involvement varies by project. Depending on the author, Writers of the West may have provided ghostwriting, editing, design, publishing, distribution, marketing, or a combination of these services. A book appearing in our portfolio therefore doesn’t automatically mean we ghostwrote the entire book.
We publicly state that we’ve worked with 2,500+ authors, although the actual number is now considerably higher. The number of books we’re permitted to display publicly is naturally smaller. Ghostwriting is often confidential, some projects are protected by NDAs, some authors don’t authorize us to showcase their work, and others hire us for only one part of the process.
We’ve also worked on 200+ bestselling books. These range from Amazon bestsellers achieved through self-publishing, category optimization, and bestseller campaigns to books we helped develop or publish that were later picked up by traditional publishers and went on to become bestsellers. Our role varies from project to project, so we don’t suggest that every bestseller was achieved solely because of our involvement.
The hundreds of books we do display should therefore be viewed as a publicly verifiable sample of our work, not our complete client history.

What Makes Writers of the West different, and why choose our Ghostwriting, Publishing & Book Marketing?
There are individual freelancers, ghostwriting agencies, editors, publishing companies, and marketing firms competing for your book. Here are seven things that make our model different:
- A Ghostwriter Matched to Your Story: We study your project and match it with writers whose experience, background, and interests fit your book.
- You’re Not Locked Into One Writer: If the fit isn’t right, our wider writer network gives us the flexibility to find another suitable match without making you start over elsewhere.
- A High-Volume Direct Model Keeps Costs Lower: Working directly with a large network of professional writers helps us offer experienced talent without layers of traditional agency intermediaries.
- Flexible Payments Instead of Everything Upfront: Projects can be paid through flexible, zero-interest installments rather than requiring the entire investment upfront.
- 100% Ownership From Day One: Your book remains yours, including your ownership, copyright, and applicable royalties.
- Writing, Editing, Publishing & Marketing Under One Roof: One team can take your project from the initial idea through writing, editing, design, publishing, distribution, and marketing.
- A Dedicated Project Manager During Your Project and Years After: Your project manager remains your direct point of contact throughout the process, with support available even years after publication. You also have direct access to our professional writer network across the U.S. and worldwide.
- The Same Professional Writers, at More Accessible Rates: iring an experienced ghostwriter directly can be expensive. Through Writers of the West, authors can access professional writers at more affordable rates because of our high-volume direct model. Our long-term arrangements provide writers with a steady flow of projects they would otherwise have to spend time and money finding themselves. They can earn competitively by working on more consistent projects, while our authors benefit from lower rates than they might pay when approaching comparable talent independently.
