About Penforhire
What is Penforhire?
Have you ever wanted to write a book but didn't know where to start?
Do you have an outline for a book or story to tell but don't have the time to write it yourself?
Did you write a complete manuscript and wonder how to get it published?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, Penforhire can help! We specialize in all facets of the creative process and we want to bring your vision to life.
How Penforhire Can Help
We offer hourly coaching for those who want the control of writing themselves but need guidance and support. Set as many or as few appointments as you need. Whether it is just overcoming a temporary obstacle or having someone you can trust by your side throughout the process, we are here for you!
If you don't have the time or comfort level to write it yourself but know it must be done, our expert ghostwriting services are here to take your concept and put it into words. No project is too large or small.
When you've made it almost to the finish line with your book and stall, Penforhire has the editing, formatting, and design capabilities to bring that Word document to life in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle formats.
Our Areas of Expertise
Non-fiction
Being a published author has become a new measuring stick for how proficient one is in their field. While merely writing a book doesn't make one better than someone who has not, it absolutely goes to credibility, reinforcing the author as a subject matter expert.
Fiction
The art of storytelling is as old as the human race. Whether the tales were told verbally, pictorially, or with the written word, stories are integral pieces of who we are. At Penforhire, we believe everyone has a story to tell, and no one should be limited by a lack of time or know-how. With passionate writers on staff who work with all genres, Penforhire is the right choice for your next project.
Biography/Auto
One of the most moving, compelling, and inspiring things a person can do is share their experiences with the world. It is also one of the most challenging things to do, even for the most experienced writers. Finding the right words to define one's experiences, the questions to trigger the most distant memories, and the organizational skills to compile a lifetime of linear events into a well-written and page-turning book are all skills many cannot do themselves. Sitting with a Penforhire interviewer to uncover all this information can be the first step in being able to write it yourself or the push to realize the story needs to be told by somebody else.
Screenplays
Not all ideas are meant for a literary audience and some that are can also be well served visually. Getting on the big screen or streaming into millions of people's homes is no longer as difficult as it once was. Today, there are more avenues than ever to have a movie, sitcom, or documentary produced for the masses. We are here to help turn any concept or completed manuscript into a screenplay so that you may reach your intended audience!
Why Work with Penforhire?
We think we are the best at taking the information out of your head and bringing it to life on paper, but we may be biased! Thankfully, our current and past clients feel the same, so we will use their words, not ours!
Customizable options to fit all skill levels and budgets:
As a company of writing industry professionals on a mission to serve aspiring authors, we want to meet you where you are. For those who enjoy writing and want to be a part of the process, our team of coaches will help guide you to the finish line; for those who want it done without lifting a finger, our team of premier ghostwriters will create the entire book; and for anyone who falls somewhere in between, we have collaboration options!
Dedicated Project Managers:
Each project has an assigned writer and dedicated project manager to ensure the completed work is of the highest quality, but is also done on time and within the agreed upon scope.
Broad Industry Knowledge:
Our team has backgrounds in areas as diverse as real estate, finance, construction management, Quality Assurance, education, and much more.
World Class Interviewers:
It doesn't matter how well someone can write if they have no content to work with. You are the subject matter expert in your field, and we are here to ensure that is properly conveyed in writing. With hundreds of podcast episodes, client projects, and webinars conducted, our team literally has thousands of hours of experience in asking the most impactful questions to help unpack your knowledge.
Track Record of Success:
We have helped dozens of thought leaders get their books to market. While each author owns the marketing process of their book, several of our clients have followed our advice and direction to hit best-seller status in multiple categories. We also share our proven system for using the books we write to acquire 2-3 high-value clients every month.
Niche Specialists:
While we do have diverse backgrounds and experience working within multiple industries, we will not write for just anyone. Penforhire believes in helping those with motivational and inspirational stories share their experiences with a larger audience and do more good in the world. Very rarely will we take on self-aggrandizing projects or content we do not feel serves a greater purpose.
Our Network:
Our current and past clients range from C-Suite executives to world-renowned public speakers. We also partner with some of the best creative minds in the business to help support our clients in publishing the most successful project possible. Many of our clients have connected with each other and joined forces to do so much more than just complete their projects, and we genuinely want to see more of that in the coming years.
