Some books begin with a polished draft. Others begin with recordings, notebooks, research files or an idea that has been waiting years to be written. Whatever stage you're at, we can work together to turn it into a professionally published book.

How each book came together.

Every project begins differently. These case studies explain what the author brought to the project, how we worked together and how each book was brought to publication.

From Research to Published Book

From Research to Published Book

Laura Searle had the specialist knowledge and a clear idea of what she wanted to communicate. Together, we developed the material into an accessible book that challenged misconceptions surrounding voodoo and poppet magic.

Steve helped me turn something I'd wanted to write for years into my first book. He completely understood what I was trying to achieve and made the whole process feel much less daunting. I couldn't be happier with the finished result.

Turning Your Idea Into a Book

Turning Your Idea Into a Book

A book does not need to begin with a completed manuscript. It can begin with an idea, a collection of notes, years of research or a story you have been meaning to tell.

How Ghostwriting Works

How Ghostwriting Works

Ghostwriting is a collaborative process in which your knowledge, experiences and ideas are shaped into a professionally written manuscript.

Steve Higgins Books and writing materials

I know what it takes to turn an idea into a finished book.

I am an author, ghostwriter and digital publisher based near Bristol. I've spent more than 25 years creating websites and publishing content online. After a decade leading digital content for commercial radio stations, I've spent the last ten years running my own digital publishing business, writing and promoting books across print, digital and audio.

My work combines writing with the practical side of publishing. I can help shape the original idea, develop the manuscript, prepare the finished files and take your book through to publication, marketing and audiobook production.

Every project is collaborative. My aim isn't to replace your voice, but to help you communicate your knowledge, experiences and ideas in a way that's clear, engaging and true to you.
