Daniel McNeill – Ghostwriter

A book is a brilliant ship out sailing the oceans of the world, beyond your view. But it takes time and dedication, so most great book ideas never reach the printed page.

Yet a book can be deeply rewarding. It can convey the perspective of a lifetime. It can introduce you to people across the globe. It can give you the glow of applause. It can make you a well-known expert and a sought-after interview. It is typically a high point in one’s biography.

I bring you commitment. I work on one book at a time. It becomes my life and I hardly step outside it until I’m done.

I bring you proven quality. My books have included a Los Angeles Times Book Prize winner, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, a nominee for the National Book Award, and a Book-of-the-Month Club selection. My books won praise in such publications as the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, The Economist, the London Times, Milan’s Corriere della Sera, and Seoul’s Chosun Ilbo. A Nobel laureate called one of my books ”fascinating on every page.”

I bring sensitivity to your voice, your goals. A book is more than your thoughts. It is you. I highlight your special traits to your readers.

I bring you broad background. I have written to widespread praise on a variety of topics, some of which I knew little about initially. But I am an expert, experienced researcher, and my degree from Harvard Law School gives me depth on many social issues.

And I come with excellent recommendations, such as the following:

From a Harvard scientist to agent: “I just want to state for the record that you found me the best possible person to write with, Dan.”

From a contact at Fortune 500 company: “We can't thank you enough for all the fantastic work on this. It really was a tremendous effort and we think it's a really powerful piece of writing.”

From the client on a memoir: “Dan discovers the essence of the writer's intent, while preserving his voice. We are so grateful that you [Dan] helped us fulfill my husband's legacy by working on his memoir with such sensitivity and compassion.”
