Have a great story but struggling to turn it into a finished novel? UK Print and Publish provides professional fiction ghostwriting for authors across the UK. Our writers use your ideas, notes, and voice to create an original book that feels true to your vision. You keep full ownership of the story, and your name stays on the cover.
People often assume ghostwriting means someone else takes over your story and changes it beyond recognition. That is not how we work. Our job is to take what is already in your head and put it on the page, in a way that reads well and sounds like you meant it.
This is our main area of work. If you have a full-length story in mind, whether it is 60,000 words or 120,000, we can write it from your outline or from a rough set of ideas. Many of our clients come to us with a plot already worked out in their heads but no time to sit down and write 300 pages themselves. We build the book chapter by chapter, checking in with you along the way so it never drifts from what you had in mind.
Not every story needs to be a full novel. If you are working on a shorter piece, or a themed collection of short fiction, we can write to that length and structure just as carefully as we would a longer book. This is often a good starting point for writers who want to test an idea before committing to a full-length project.
If your story is part of a planned series, we can work with you across multiple books, keeping characters, timelines, and world details consistent from one instalment to the next. We keep a running style guide for every series project, so book three still sounds like book one.
Some of our clients want to turn a real experience, a family story, or a piece of local history into a fictionalised novel. We handle this with care, blending the real details you want kept with enough invention to make it read as a proper story rather than a straight retelling. This is delicate work, and we always check with you before taking any creative liberties with real people or events.
We write across most popular genres, including romance, crime and thriller, fantasy, historical fiction, and general commercial fiction. If your idea sits across two genres, that is fine too. Tell us what you enjoy reading, and we will match the tone and pace to suit.
Our clients come from all sorts of backgrounds. You do not need any writing experience or a finished outline to start. We regularly work with:
Some clients arrive with a full outline and character notes. Others arrive with nothing more than a single idea scribbled on a napkin. Both are a fine starting point, and we shape the first stage of the project around whichever one you bring to us.
Not every company in this line of work operates the same way, and it is worth asking a few honest questions before you commit to anyone, us included.
If a provider cannot give you clear answers to these questions, that is worth noticing before you pay anything.
Writing a full-length story is harder than most people expect, even for those who read a lot of fiction. Pacing, dialogue, structure, and keeping a plot consistent across tens of thousands of words all take practice.
We start with a call or a written brief where you tell us about your story. This can be as simple as a few paragraphs or as detailed as a full outline. There is no wrong way to start, and this first chat is free.
We put together a working outline based on what you have shared, along with a clear quote and timeline. Nothing is written until you are happy with the plan and the paperwork, including confidentiality, is signed.
We write your book in sections, usually a few chapters at a time, and send each batch to you for feedback. This keeps you involved throughout, rather than leaving you to read a surprise ending months later.
Once you have read a section, you tell us what is working and what is not. We adjust tone, pacing, or plot details as needed before moving on to the next part of the book.
Once every section is approved, we put together the complete manuscript, check for consistency from the first page to the last, ready for you to move on to editing or publishing.

Pricing for a full novel depends on several things, including the length of the book, how much material you already have, and how much research the story needs. A short novella will cost less than a 100,000-word novel, and a project starting from a detailed outline will usually cost less than one starting from a single idea.
Because of this, we do not publish a flat rate. Instead, we ask about your project and give you a clear, itemised quote before any work begins, so you know exactly what you are paying for and there are no surprises later.
We know that hiring someone to write a whole book feels like a big step, and cost is often the first question people ask. We aim to keep our rates realistic for individual writers, not just publishers or businesses, while still paying our writers properly for the time a full manuscript takes. If your budget is tight, tell us at the start. We can often adjust scope, such as writing a shorter book or working from a more detailed outline, to bring the cost down without lowering the quality of the writing.
If you have a story you have been meaning to write for years, or a project you have started and cannot finish, get in touch. Tell us a bit about it, and we will talk you through how we can help, with no pressure and no obligation to go ahead.
There is no need to have everything worked out before you contact us. Some clients send a single paragraph describing an idea they have carried around for years. Others send a detailed outline with character notes and a chapter plan already sketched out. Both are a perfectly good place to start a conversation, and we will meet you wherever you are with the project right now.
