Mattie Murrey — My Own Ghostwriter

If You Have a Story,
You Have a Book.

I'm Mattie. Ghostwriter. Book coach. The reason your book gets finished.

Five Fears. Five Answers.

“I’ll start and never finish.”

We meet every week until it’s done.

“I don’t have the time.”

Ghostwriting takes about an hour a week. Coaching gives you a plan that fits your life.

“I don’t know where to start.”

You start with Step 1, Strategize. You’ll know your first move on day one.

“It won’t be good enough.”

Every book is professionally edited.

“I won’t know who to trust.”

You’ll see what’s included, what’s separate, and what happens each week before you sign.

Two Ways to Write Your Book

Either way, you’re never doing this alone. Every book follows our 5-Step System: Strategize. Structure. Write. Edit. Publish.

The Woman Behind the Words

Mattie believes every person has a story worth telling, and she's spent her life proving it. 25+ years listening to people at the most critical moments of their lives. Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul®) wrote the foreword for two of her books. Guinness World Record holder. Dog sled racer. Calculated risk taker. Today she leads a small team of writers and editors, and she reviews every book before it's done.
