Your book is not
going to write
itself!
The first ghostwriting company where your story is written with you, not behind closed doors.
You said —
"After everything I'd been through, having my second child just felt really peaceful."
On the page —
My second chance at motherhood came softly and sweetly, like a glimmer of warm sunlight across a cold, frostbitten face.

The Story of Finally Get Your Book Done
Before founding Finally Get Your Book Done, Amanda Botfeld spent years writing professionally—publishing a traditionally released book, placing op-eds in major newspapers, and ghostwriting speeches delivered everywhere from corporate stages to the United Nations.
Over time, she noticed the same problem again and again: traditional ghostwriting asks writers to recreate someone's voice after the conversation has already ended. Too much gets lost without the client present.
So she built something different. A process where every page is written live, with the author in the room—collaborative, transparent, and shaped together from the very first sentence. That became Finally Get Your Book Done's Live Writing method.
As featured in
Our confidence
We take the risk. Not you.
Most companies ask for the full investment upfront. We don't. Two ghostwriting sessions with your matched writer for $49 — our try-before-you-buy, before anything is signed. After that, ten sessions at a time, to guarantee your place on your writer's calendar. Never the whole program at once.
If we weren't confident you'd want to keep going, we couldn't afford to work this way.
Investment
$5,000–$15,000
Most books land in the middle. Exact pricing depends on the length of your book.
- Ten sessions to kick-start your book — renewable installments after that, because we're confident you'll want to keep going

Questions
FAQs
What makes this different from a traditional ghostwriter?
Most ghostwriters interview you, take notes, and then disappear to write on their own. The next time you see your story, it may be weeks or even months later.
Our writers don't disappear. Every session is collaborative. As you talk, your writer writes in real time, reads it back to you, and refines it with your feedback. Instead of handing your story over and hoping for the best, you help shape it from beginning to end.
Is any of this written by AI?
No. Your manuscript is written entirely by your matched human writer, working alongside you in your sessions. That's the entire premise of what we do.
What does the $49 call get me?
Meeting our memoir and autobiography expert comes first, followed by a match with your writer and two real live ghostwriting sessions — enough to experience our Live Writing method before anything is signed.
How long does it actually take?
Most books take 4–8 months. Expedited programs can finish in as little as 3–6 months. The pace is set by you and your writer.
Who are your writers?
Every writer on our team is based in the United States, holds at least a master's degree, and is vetted and trained specifically in our method. The match is deliberate — not just anybody can write anybody's story, so we pair you with the writer built for yours.
Do you help with publishing and marketing?
Yes. We guarantee your book's upload to Amazon, IngramSpark, or the platform of your choosing, fully published under your name. When you're ready to market it, we refer you to a trusted marketing partner to help you reach your specific goals.
Why not just use ChatGPT?
AI can help you brainstorm or push past a blank page, but it can't replace what happens in a Live Writing session. A real writer asks the follow-up question that unlocks a memory you weren't planning to share, shapes pacing and structure as your story unfolds, and captures emotional nuance only a real conversation can carry. Every book is written by a professional writer working directly with you — not generated from a prompt.
