Your story. Our craft.

At The Paperback Writer Bureau, we specialise in bespoke ghostwriting for novels, memoirs, and screenplays.
 We work quietly, collaboratively, and professionally - crafting stories that sound like you, not us.
 Whether you’re a debut author, entrepreneur, or filmmaker, we turn concepts into beautifully finished manuscripts, ready for publication or production.

We write the words people
want to put their name to.

Why work with us

Because ghostwriting isn’t about outsourcing your story - it’s about bringing it to life.

Our founder, Nick Pollack, has spent over 20 years in TV, film, and publishing, ghostwriting dozens of novels and screenplays and producing stories for global audiences.
 He built The Paperback Writer Bureau for clients who value craftsmanship, trust, and creative excellence.

We understand voice, structure, and story rhythm - and we know how to capture yours.
“There’s no shame in hiring a ghostwriter. Only pride in telling your story well.”

  • Transparent pricing and professional contracts.
  • Experienced writers with proven credits in publishing and screen.

Crafting Stories That Speak in Your Voice

Every great book begins as a half-formed idea - a spark, a memory, a message. Our role is to shape that spark into something lasting. We specialize in crafting stories that sound like you, not us. From first draft to final release, we offer bespoke ghostwriting for novels, memoirs, and screenplays.

Your Vision, Our Craft

Every project includes complete story development and writing from outline to final draft. We provide structural edits, line edits, and polishing services to elevate your prose, refining dialogue, pacing, and structure for film and TV.

Elevating Your Story

We offer self-publishing support, formatting, cover design, and account setup for various platforms. Our guidance extends to audiobook and adaptation, helping your story travel across formats.

Collaborative Partnership

We operate with the precision of a studio and the discretion of a literary confidant. Every project includes two rounds of revisions, full confidentiality, and clear payment milestones.
