Pauline Bartel – Ghostwriter

I believe that brilliant ideas and great books blossom through close collaboration with clients. That means I ask questions and listen to the answers until I understand the book’s goals, message and audience. I synthesize information, share ideas and shape the direction of each book with the client. Then I add the hallmarks of my work: creativity, excellence and results. I love working with clients that have great stories to tell.

Clients tell me they appreciate my candid, yet tactful feedback about their work; my ability to work as a publishing partner, offering insights and posing questions to help clients view the material with fresh perspective; my planning and project management skills that help clients stay on track with book projects.

Testimonials:

"For many years, I have wanted to write a book. The book-writing process seemed long and time consuming. Years went by and I knew I needed some help, like an accountability partner, a coach.

I finally hired Pauline to be my book coach. What a great decision! Pauline simplified the book-writing process immediately. She gave me a weekly assignment. We would have a weekly conference call to review that week's work and discuss the next step. Pauline was knowledgeable and helpful. She had experience helping many people before me and had published her own successful books. I had full confidence in her abilities to assist me.

But it was not only about Pauline's skills and assistance -- she was a motivator. I cherished the constructive criticism mixed in with a great deal of motivation. I knew she wanted me to succeed.

As a result, I welcomed my first book -- Stories from the Sales Field: Navigating a Sales Career in a Post-Pandemic World -- thanks to Pauline."

Stories from the Sales Field: Navigating a Sales Career in a Post-Pandemic World

"Your skills as a writer and editor have been invaluable to my success as a published author. You made the process of going from some scribbled thoughts to a finished manuscript not only manageable but enjoyable, too. I am always amazed at your ability to take my thoughts and ideas and turn them into an interesting read. I often feel guilty for receiving all the credit for your truly great work. And the proof is in the sales of my books, which continue to soar with my publisher looking for additional editions and new books as a result of your working with me. I feel very grateful to have been introduced to you.”
