A ghostwriter also writes speeches: the wedding toast, the best man's speech, a milestone anniversary, an award ceremony, an address to a meeting or a conference. It starts with a conversation, it is written for your voice, and no one will ever know you did not write it yourself.
A few pages, but in front of everyone. A book is read in an armchair; a speech is heard standing up, glass in hand: if it bores, it shows at once. In no other genre is the difference between the right words and any words felt so quickly. That is why writing one well is a professional's job, not a template's: everyone recognises the speech found on the internet, while the one written for you is recognised only by you, because it speaks the way you speak.
One conversation, even just by phone, to understand the occasion, the audience, what you want to say and how you actually speak. Then a draft, which you read aloud: that is the test that matters, because a speech is not read with the eyes, it is heard with the ear. Finally the corrections, until the words sound like yours. If the occasion is pressing, delivery can be agreed within days.
Wedding toasts and speeches, the best man's and the parents'. Anniversaries and family celebrations. Graduations and retirements. Awards and honours. Commemorations, with the tact they require. And business speaking: meetings, conventions, presentations, the owner's toast at the company dinner.
From 150 euros for a short toast to 400-600 euros for a structured public address. The exact quote comes after the consultation, which is free and without obligation. For the full picture of our rates: How much does a ghostwriter cost?
No: complete confidentiality is the trade. The speech is yours, the words are written for your voice, and our name appears nowhere.
Usually a week from the conversation to the final version. If the occasion is pressing, rush jobs can be agreed: even a few days.
We correct it together until it sounds like you: the speech is ready when you read it aloud and recognise yourself.
