Entrepreneur Memoirs & Business Books

Successful entrepreneurs often contact me for help writing memoirs about their successful business practices. Perhaps you overcame nearly insurmountable odds to rise in the business world or succeeded due to an unusual formula or philosophy. You may even have built a business around some interesting scientific discovery or invention. In any case, you have an entrepreneur memoir or business book to write, and Ruby Peru is here for you. 

Entrepreneur memoirs and business books are a way to explore and explain any business-person’s personal journey while offering useful tips to those who aspire. Writing a book about your personal journey along the rocky road to success enables you to add your insights to the popular and ever-growing genre of business memoirs that entertain, inspire, and inform.

Ghostwriting Thought-Leadership Books

Another type of business book is the type I call “thought leadership.” These talented clients tend to be tech innovators in sustainability fields. Often, they’re overwhelmed with creative, paradigm-shifting business ideas and need a ghostwriter to create a natural flow between these various subjects so that readers see how disparate innovations are all connected and interwoven.

With this type of brilliant, forward-thinking client, I spend a great deal of time listening and researching in order to get fully immersed in the subject matter. Then, I ask the questions that allow me to get down to the nitty-gritty details of the idea and express it in layman’s terms to make the concept accessible to the general public. After having such a book written, clients often understand their own messages far better than before.

Clients who hire a ghostwriter for thought-leadership books tend to have business ideas so innovative, open-minded, and unusual they need a well-organized book to fully explain them. Such books are excellent tools for attracting investors and grants as well as customers and clients. These innovative ghostwriting clients tend to be leaders in technology and science and are often TEDtalk speakers, corporate consultants, and science gurus.

Process and Fees

My technique with entrepreneur memoirs and business book authors involves thirty to forty hours of in-depth interviews over the course of a single month. After that, clients get to relax or return to their own work while I spend the next month designing a synopsis that creatively showcases your business insights alongside your fascinating journey to success. Once you approve the synopsis, I will spend the next three months writing. After five months, your 60,000-word manuscript will be complete, and then I’ll dedicate a full month to performing your editorial requests. At that point, I’ll advise you as to the type of publication process that suits your goals. The fee for a 60,000-word memoir written over the course of six months is $50,000, payable in six monthly increments.

Writing this book with Ruby has enabled me to be honest about my lifelong struggle with dyslexia. Her research also taught me some of the benefits of dyslexia, so I learned a lot along the way. Most importantly, I’ve been told my book inspires others, and that means so much!
