Ghostwriters Central, Inc.
Thousands of satisfied ghostwriting clients since 2002! You bring us the project and we’ll get it done! Headquartered near Los Angeles, California.
By any chance, are you looking for someone to write your book, movie, speech, wedding vows, or virtually anything else? You’ve found the right crew at Ghostwriters Central! Here’s why we’re your go-to team: We have great writers with exceptional American English skills, all of them are located in the USA, and they provide stellar service. Over the years, we’ve teamed up with thousands of clients to make their projects shine. We’ve been ghostwriting for clients worldwide since 2002. Here’s what we can do for you!
We are ghostwriters
You have the idea and we write your it in your “voice,” which saves you an enormous amount of time. We can write your novel or short story fiction piece, and it’s you shown as the author, not us. Ghostwriters labor behind the scenes and we remain anonymous. Non-disclosure agreements to protect clients are part of the package. We can also write your user manuals and press releases.
Another major aspect of our business is writing memoirs and autobiographies. These are personal stories. A memoir typically covers a portion of one’s life, such as their professional or military career. An autobiography is your story from the beginning to the current day. A biography is the life story of some other person, perhaps the story of an accomplished but elderly family member.
A book by a business person elevates that person’s professional profile dramatically. Not only can it be an additional income stream, it can lead to speaking engagements, TV news contributor gigs, keynote addresses and other employment or entrepreneurial opportunities. If you’ve had your business biography written and you’re getting wild applause for a standing-room-only speech, it’s super cool to say that your book is for sale in the lobby!
We are screenwriters
If you can imagine it, we can write it. Any genre, from horror to fantasy to historical fiction, to comedy to straight-up drama. Or even dramady. We get queries from those who hired other screenwriters. What they discovered is the script is riddled with problems and has no chance of being produced. Worse, the original screenwriter can’t fix his own work. Or the client is disgusted with the work and doesn’t want to deal with the original screenwriter. anymore. A quality script consultant or script doctor can quickly diagnose the problems and walk the client through the solution, then rewrite the script accordingly.
Yes, quickly. We heard from a producer whose problematic script needed repairs with only two days until shooting began. His writer quit. He called us and we got his script doctored at supersonic speed.
Quality in a screenplay is mandatory. Films are multi-million-dollar ventures. Every day, studio and production company “readers” toss script after script, and literary agents do precisely the same thing. Screenwriters need to get it right to improve the odds of it being made into a movie, or even a TV pilot. It’s far easier to get a book published than a movie made. And remember, you get the author credit, not us.
We are speechwriters
Why hire a speechwriter when you could just order up a free speech from an AI chatbot, or download a generic speech from the internet? Because they’re boring and not specific. We’ve been writing custom wedding speeches and vows since our founding in 2002. We’ve written inspirational keynote and commencement speeches that result in standing ovations. We employ an interview process to gather all the needed details, including tone, desired result and important info about the audience.
Bear something in mind: Nobody is going to stand up, cheer and applaud anything written by ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok or whatever. If you’re seeking an emotional response to a speech, realize that human involvement is required. Chatbots, at best, can mimic writing designed to elicit an emotional response.
Pricing and reliability
Ghostwriters Central is a mid-priced service. We don’t compete on price, and that is because we have high-quality writers under contract, they know their value, and they’re not going to price match those who dwell in the bargain basement. If low price is your primary requirement, you should consider hiring from a freelancer website. The writers here are contractually obligated to fulfill the terms of their association with our company. They are under supervision and report to the president. By contrast, freelancer websites offer minimal, if any, supervision, which means you probably have no recourse in the event of poor performance. A promise of a great outcome is one thing, delivery of a great outcome is another. If you decide to hire from a freelancer website … good luck!

Talk to the boss
Our co-founder, Michael McKown, runs the show as president. Give us a ring, and you’ll talk to him, or if you hit reception, he’ll call you back. Your consultation? Totally free. Let’s make your project happen!
Michael has been all about the story since he was a little boy in elementary school in Los Angeles ages ago. During recess, when everyone else ran to the playground, he and a few others listened to a teacher read stories. After all that time, he’s still all about the story. This really is how it started. Once upon a more-innocent time . . . .
We don’t need to brag. How about we let our clients do it for us?

Why would I want to revise perfection? You did a wonderful job and I’m extremely pleased and grateful! You are clearly a skilled writer and I truly appreciate your attention to the details I shared and crafty ways in which you integrated them through the speech. I’m also loving the little poem you developed –- so perfect!! I’ve gone from dreading this event to anticipating this moment. Thank you for crafting a speech that will truly be a gift to my sister and her future husband! All my thanks! Many thanks! Amazing ghostwriting service. It has been my life dream to become a successful screenwriter, and Cody Smart, with her high professionalism and amazing writing skills, is making this possible. I am impressed with the work she has done for me. I found Ghostwriters Central to be dedicated and resourceful in all matters. Thanks to you and your team. I just want to say thank you, again, Brian (Ackley), the vows were perfect. I couldn’t stop crying when I was reading them to her in front of our guests, family and friends. I’m forever grateful to you. I appreciate the time, effort and energy you put into it. You’re an amazing writer and I’ll make sure to stay in touch. All the best to you! We weren’t very happy with Brian McLaughlin (as he will tell you) when we first started. After going through all the material, he has been wonderful! We love what he has done and has added so much to the book with his research! We couldn’t be happier. Thank you for choosing Brian to work on the book. Brian (Ackley) is amazing!!!! He is wonderfully masterful at writing, he is also understanding, discerning, kind, talented, human, wonderful, everything…I adore his writing and him. I am so very proud of my speech. Thank you for connecting us. How do I give him a tip directly? Another comment received later: Nailed it. EVERYONE is talking about my speech. Parents, teachers and students. The compliments are overflowing. The principal told me that so many people have been calling her to tell her how great it was. It was a huge success. Wow! Thank you so much again! Thank you, Deborah, so very much. It’s an awesome tribute to my late uncle and a beautiful song. It means a lot to me and I’m sure his daughters will love it also. Will Let you know if I make it on America’s Got Talent. Thank you so much for your hard work on this. I love how this is shaping out. I’m presenting around 8:30 this evening so the hard deadline will be around 7pm. You are extraordinarily good at this and I’d love to work with you on future speeches, to build off of this one. I’m available by email and phone for the rest of the day if you have questions as we work to go final on this. Phenomenal! I LOVE it and I absolutely love the structure! Blown away — you literally nailed this! Wow! This three-layer approach is so brilliant, thank you! NO changes, I love it as is! This is perfection! I thank you for this incredible job well done! You have once again blown me away. How did you gather all of that information from what I gave you? You NAILED THIS! Your work is tremendous and I thank you! I’d love to send you a little something to say thanks. Do you have a mailing address I can send to? I thank you from the bottom of my heart! I just wanted to let you know that I got called to LA for a meeting with a BIG producer [name and company deleted] and his head of development yesterday! They said they both liked the script and expressed interest in working with me to develop it! They also requested my other screenplay (one you haven’t seen), and discussed my interest in working for them on one of their other projects they’re developing! Super excited, and I thought you’d like to know! Thank you so much for your help and advice. It’s so rare and exhilarating for me to have good news like this! Guys, words will never convey our appreciation for your masterful skills in writing these speeches. You were totally outstanding from start to finish, incorporating the challenges we gave you. The family dinner speech was very difficult in delivery, as you can imagine, when I addressed the loss of our son Sam and the name of our new son-in-law. I had to stop several times to compose myself. Guests commented that they enjoyed the speeches by us since they included both seriousness and levity. We would never hesitate to use you again. Thanks again. Hi! The screenplay is magnificent. The characters are clearly drawn and engaging. The action carries the story forward at all times. The pacing is great. The dialog is crisp and textural. The narrative is succinct and dramatically illustrative. You are very gifted. Hey guys, I just wanted to say that my team here is very pleased with your work, it was really nice work you put together. I know there was some miscommunication at times but you made it happen. I’ll be reaching out to you in the future for the book. Also I’ll send you the link to the movie when it’s edited and finished. Thanks again, great doing business with you. You are an honorable man. OMG! These words are so beautiful. You have brought tears to my eyes. I know these are my words, but just the way you put them on paper is outstanding! I cannot thank you enough! I am one happy bride! You are truly gifted. This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for. You crafted and delivered an exceptional written product for me. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! May I kindly extend a “bonus” to you for your outstanding work? I hope to continue to work with you in the years to come. Your boys are very lucky to have such talent running through their veins. It’s not often that superb work that yields such impressive results can be surpassed, but the chief writer at Ghostwriters Central has done it — AGAIN! After the quick and lauded success of his screenplay adaptation of my first novel, I asked him to handle a screenplay for the second in the series. The screenplay arrived yesterday and it is pure, liquid dynamite. I’m sorely tempted to identify the now-familiar novels and their subsequent films, but for now let me just say that this man is gold. A screenplay for 10 times the price couldn’t surpass his work. Thank you again, Ghostwriters Central! I have had my first read, I COULDN’T BE MORE PLEASED! One of my fears with people editing my work (mostly magazine editors) are those who make change for the sake of change, only to fit their styling and tastes. I caught no whiff of you doing that, or, if you did, our nuances are so similarly aligned that it certainly didn’t matter. You really displayed an incredible understanding of my story and characters, and your touch to all was precise and powerful. Every single change you made was fantastic, especially those small, subtle ones that helped the story in massive ways. Love what you did to Zoey. You got all the spunk out of her that was needed. There really is way too much for me to comment on. There were moments of out-loud laughter. I really liked how you made sense of a few things in the story that didn’t make full sense from my writing. Some incredibly classic lines. BRAVO! This is SENSATIONAL! Thank you SO, SO much! You’ve captured it all brilliantly — especially the last episode. It’s exactly what I wanted! I’m sure it’s draining for you and I’m grateful you’ve put so much effort into this. It really shows! I entrusted Ghostwriters Central with the task of writing a screenplay based on my latest thriller novel. The process was superb, and it was undertaken with care, expertise and enthusiastic professionalism on every level. After a few in-depth discussions, the writer understood the thrust of where I wanted to go with the adaptation of the novel. He then proceeded to write a creative masterpiece that not only exceeded my expectations by a mile, but certainly rivals, and even exceeds, those scripts that power today’s finest films. There is little doubt that his energetic genius behind the screenplay is the reason that it is now solidly on its way to becoming a successful feature length production. Thank you, Ghostwriters Central. Now that the dust has settled, I must say thanks again. Obviously, I would have no idea of what’s the norm for “feedback” however I have been overwhelmed with the amount of comments on my speech Friday night. During the speech, I saw many patting their eyes because of tears (not my intention), and immediately following so many came to me to remark on how they liked my speech. And as of today, I am still receiving great feedback. Who would think that my dress would get second place over the speech? Absolutely brilliant job amazingly done by your writer. His work exceeded all my expectations. Most importantly, he expressed deep interest in the story and didn’t do it just as a technical assignment, he truly got involved in the script. Always great communication and personal approach. Couldn’t be happier! Five stars!! Good evening, people. Thank you! Thank you. I did not check this particular email account until today, I did not realize you sent it early. Much appreciated. Outstanding. Bravo. Top-notch. You are so very talented. I am delighted to work with you. You are certainly “legendary” with your creative abilities. I absolutely love the piece. I would like to send you a bonus — for your quality work, an additional $100. Many thanks. Can you post this thank you on your website? I have achieved amazing success with your professional help. I am a total amateur, now a winning one. Ghostwriters Central has done it for me: Ten film festival screenwriting awards and finalist positions, three writing competition wins, beautiful reviews and publicity for my screenplay in three countries. Quick, reasonable and winning, to say the least. This is my first screenplay and your senior staffer wrote it for me so well I’m still getting CONGRATULATIONS emails. Your gift keeps on giving! I’ve only been submitting my script for four months, a total newbie. It’s unbelievable, incredible! Thank you for making 2013 my year for unexpected major success. I love you guys! The eulogy got a round of applause. Pastor said she had never, ever, seen that happen before. Thank you. I just wanted to say thank you to YOU! Thank you for helping me. My speech went so well. It was felt in an emotional way and I delivered it with a cheat sheet but spoke to my guests. Thank you for understanding what I was trying to impart and getting it to me. You made this whole experience so stress free. I didn’t tell a soul. You can use this as a review as long as you don’t use my name. Thanks a million. I absolutely love it. It was great! I read it five times or so and was happy with it. …I really enjoyed it and I want to get the next set under way! Thank you for taking such good care of my material and making it a great read! So far there is nothing I would change. Hope to here back from you today so we can continue on. Woohoo!Sheri N.
