Some of the best books ever written had help. That's not a secret in publishing, it's just rarely talked about openly. Ghostwriting has been part of the industry for as long as the industry has existed, and there's nothing unusual about having a professional writer turn your ideas into a finished manuscript.
At European Publishing House, our ghostwriters work with authors across Europe who have a story worth telling, a business book worth writing, or a memoir worth preserving, but need someone to do the actual writing. You bring the ideas, the experiences, and the vision. We bring the craft. The finished book is entirely yours, your name on the cover, your rights, your royalties. We're not in the picture once the manuscript is done.
Distributed across 150+ retailers worldwide
Confidential ghostwriting across every genre and every length.
We write across every fiction genre, literary fiction, romance, thrillers, crime, science fiction, fantasy, historical fiction, horror, young adult, and more. Whether you have a detailed outline or just a concept you’ve been sitting on for years, our fiction ghostwriters build the plot, develop the characters, and write the kind of prose that keeps readers turning pages. You stay involved throughout, approving each stage before we move forward.
A memoir is one of the most personal books a person can publish, and getting the voice right matters more here than almost anywhere else. Our ghostwriters approach autobiography and memoir projects with interviews, detailed conversations, and a careful ear for the way you speak and tell stories. The result reads like you wrote it, because in every way that matters, you did.
Business books are one of the most searched ghostwriting services in Europe, and for good reason. A well-written business book builds authority, generates leads, and opens doors that a LinkedIn post never will. We work with entrepreneurs, executives, consultants, and industry specialists to turn their expertise into structured, readable, commercially relevant books that actually get read.
Whether it’s a narrative non-fiction project, a current affairs book, a popular history title, or anything that sits outside the business or self-help categories, our non-fiction ghostwriters research thoroughly and write with authority. We work with subject matter experts who know their field inside out but need a writer who can make that knowledge accessible and engaging to a general readership.
Self-help is one of the most competitive publishing categories there is, which means the writing has to be genuinely useful and genuinely readable. We write self-help manuscripts that are grounded, practical, and free from the kind of hollow motivational language that fills too many books in the genre. Your framework, your methodology, your voice, written properly.
Children’s books are deceptively difficult to write well. The language has to work at the right level, the story has to move, and the whole thing has to land with both the child reading it and the adult reading it aloud. Our children’s book ghostwriters work across picture books, early readers, middle grade, and young adult, tailoring the writing to the age group and the story you want to tell.
Confidential
The most common reason people look for ghostwriting services isn't that they can't write. It's that writing a full manuscript is a different skill from having the ideas, the story, or the expertise that makes a book worth reading. A surgeon who's spent thirty years in an operating theatre has a book in them. So does the entrepreneur who built a business from nothing, or the person who's lived through something that deserves to be documented properly.
What they often don't have is the time, the writing experience, or the patience to turn all of that into 80,000 well-structured words. That's exactly where our professional ghostwriting services come in.
We start every project with a thorough briefing process. We want to understand your voice, your story, your audience, and what you want the book to do. From there, our ghostwriters work through the manuscript in stages, sharing drafts, taking feedback, and refining until the writing sounds like you, not like a writer who was hired to impersonate you.
Ghostwriting rates vary more than almost any other publishing service, and the reason is straightforward, a 30,000-word eBook is a completely different project from a 90,000-word memoir that requires extensive interviews and multiple revision rounds. Length, genre, research requirements, and turnaround time all affect what a project costs.
What we don't do is quote you a rate before we understand what you're actually trying to build. Some projects need a full manuscript from scratch. Others start with existing notes, recordings, or a partial draft that needs shaping into something complete. That difference matters when it comes to pricing.
Get in touch and we'll talk through your project properly. You'll get a clear, honest quote based on what your book actually needs, not a generic rate pulled from a pricing page.

Get in TouchGhostwriting rates in Europe vary considerably depending on the type of book, its length, and the level of research and interviews involved. A short eBook sits at a very different price point from a full-length memoir or a detailed business book. Most professional ghostwriters charge either per word or per project, and rates reflect experience and the complexity of the work. We don't publish fixed rates because they rarely reflect what a specific project actually costs. Get in touch, tell us about your book, and we'll give you a clear and honest quote.
A few things are worth watching for. Ghostwriters who quote immediately without asking about your project in any detail are usually working from templates rather than tailoring their approach. Unusually low rates are another warning sign, professional ghostwriting takes significant time and skill, and rates that seem too good to be true usually are. Lack of a proper contract covering confidentiality, ownership, and revision rounds is a serious concern. And ghostwriters who can't show you relevant work samples, even anonymised ones, are difficult to evaluate properly. Take the time to have a proper conversation before committing to anyone.
No. Ghostwriting is completely legal across the UK and Europe. It's a long-established, widely used professional service across publishing, business, academia, and public life. The arrangement between a ghostwriter and a client is a private commercial agreement, and there is no law against having someone write on your behalf. The only context where using ghostwritten work can become problematic is in academic settings where institutions have specific rules about original authorship, but that relates to institutional policy, not the law.
ChatGPT generates text based on patterns in its training data rather than copying directly from sources, so in a technical sense it isn't plagiarism in the traditional way. However, most academic institutions treat AI-generated content as a form of academic misconduct regardless of whether it's technically plagiarised. Detection tools for AI-generated writing are improving rapidly, and the risks of submitting AI-written work in an academic context are significant. If you need support with academic writing, working with a human ghostwriter produces original, properly argued work that actually reflects your thinking.
You can use it as a drafting or brainstorming tool, but it has real limitations as a ghostwriter. It can't interview you, it doesn't know your story, it can't capture your voice with any real accuracy, and the output tends to read as generic and flat in ways that readers notice. For short, functional content it can be useful. For a book, something that needs to engage readers, sound like a real person, and hold together over tens of thousands of words, a professional human ghostwriter produces a substantially better result.
The difference is considerable. A professional ghostwriter interviews you, gets to know how you think and speak, researches your subject thoroughly, and crafts writing that sounds authentically like you. They bring creative judgment, structural thinking, and years of craft to the project. ChatGPT generates text statistically, it produces words that follow patterns but doesn't understand your story, can't ask you the right questions, and has no genuine feel for voice or narrative. The gap in quality between a professionally ghostwritten book and an AI-generated one is significant, and readers can usually sense it even when they can't name exactly what's wrong.
Every book we publish gets the same level of care, whether it's your first or your fifth. We don't consider our job done until your book is out in the world and you're happy with it. That's been our standard since day one.
