Maybe you’re a founder with a lesson worth sharing, a professional with a career’s worth of stories or a parent with a family history that deserves better than a shoebox. You don’t have to disappear for a year to write it. Who has a spare year, anyway? You only have to start the conversation, and we’ll take care of the long, careful work behind it.

Our Services
Olive Publishers handles every stage between an idea and a finished book: business and expert titles, memoir, fiction, children’s books, ebooks, editing and audio. Glen Cove authors can hire our ghostwriting services for one step or the whole journey. Each project is matched to a genre-experienced writer or editor and backed by unlimited revisions and round-the-clock support.
Some people write a book in their head every commute and never find the time to put it on paper. We close that gap. After a conversation about your goals, your reader and your voice, your writer drafts an outline for approval and then produces the manuscript chapter by chapter. Typical delivery is 2–3 weeks when the brief is clear, with unlimited revisions to follow. Our full-length book writing service, delivered by a book ghostwriter who knows your genre, suits anyone who has plenty to say and very little spare time, which describes most of the professionals we meet.
A book is still the strongest calling card for a founder, consultant, attorney, physician or executive. It opens doors to speaking, press and partnerships, and it gives clients a reason to trust you before the first meeting. Our non-fiction ghostwriters interview you, study your material and build a book with a clear argument, real examples and a voice that matches how you speak. You supply the expertise. We shape it into chapters readers can follow, and we keep your brand and professional reputation front of mind throughout.
Every family has stories that disappear when the person who knows them does. Our memoir and autobiography ghostwriters record those memories in relaxed interviews and turn them into a book with a clear arc, whether it follows a business started from nothing, a journey from another country or a long marriage. Photos, letters and recipes can be included. We treat sensitive moments with care, and you decide what stays in. It's a gift that gets read, reread and passed along.
Gold Coast mansions, steamboats at the Landing, wartime secrets and old money: Glen Cove practically writes its own historical fiction. Whatever you're imagining, a mystery, a romance or a family saga, our novel ghostwriters build the plot, the characters and the dialogue around your idea and keep the voice consistent throughout. You approve the outline, read drafts in stages and steer the ending. We pair you with a writer who already works in your genre, so the pacing and conventions feel right to readers.
Picture books depend on rhythm, brevity and an ear for what a child enjoys hearing aloud. Our children's book team writes the story, plans the page turns and coordinates illustration, so a parent, teacher or grandparent can turn a bedtime story into a printed book. We settle the age range, tone and message with you first, so the finished book suits the children you have in mind, and we're happy to keep the language simple, warm and fun to read repeatedly.
A shorter book can do big work. A focused guide for clients, a how-to for your industry or a practical handbook can build your credibility, grow your email list and give you something useful to send to prospects. Our ebook writers produce compact, polished digital books that read well on phones and tablets. They're quicker and lighter on budget than a full manuscript, and many authors later expand them into longer paperbacks once they've seen how readers respond. It's a sensible first book for a busy professional.
Already have pages? Excellent. Our book editing team reviews structure, pacing and voice, followed by line editing and proofreading to catch the small errors that undermine a professional impression. You receive tracked changes and plain-English comments, so you always know why something changed. It's the right step for a nearly finished manuscript, a draft that's lost momentum or a book you plan to submit elsewhere. A fresh, experienced reader often spots in an hour what the author has missed in a year.
Long Island commuters spend a lot of time listening, so audio is a natural format. Our audiobook production team prepares your finished manuscript for narration and distribution. Glen Cove is also one of the more diverse communities in Nassau County, which is why many authors ask about book translation services as an add-on, so a family story or a business book can reach readers in more than one language. Both options are best added once the English edition is final.
How It Works
Our process has four phases: a strategy call, interviews and drafting, revision rounds, then publishing setup and release. You provide the idea and a few short conversations. We provide the ghostwriter, the structure and the polish. Typical ghostwriting delivery is 2–3 weeks when the brief is clear, and unlimited revisions continue until you're happy.
The free consultation is a conversation, not a sales pitch. By phone or video we ask who the book is for, what you want it to do and how you'd like it to sound. Is it a credibility builder for your practice, a legacy project for the family or a first novel? The answer shapes everything. From the call we write a project brief and assign a writer who has worked in your genre. You don't need to prepare much; a few notes, a LinkedIn profile or a rough outline are plenty. The main risk at this stage is trying to say too much, because a book that tries to cover a whole career often covers nothing well. We help you choose the one idea that earns the title. And since your calendar is likely crowded, we agree on how and when we'll talk so the schedule fits your week.
After the brief, your writer builds a chapter outline and a short sample so you can check the voice. This is the stage to change direction, because a rewrite of an outline takes an afternoon and a rewrite of a manuscript takes much longer. Once you approve, interviews begin, often short calls or voice memos recorded between meetings. The writer asks for the stories, numbers and details only you know, then drafts the chapters. You don't need to sit through long sessions; fifteen focused minutes often yield pages of material. The common snag is delayed replies, which stall a book more than anything else. Tell us your busy weeks ahead of time and we'll plan around them. If something changes in your business or your life midway, say so, and the outline can flex. A good book ghostwriter treats those changes as normal, not as a problem, and adjusts the plan quietly.
Read the draft when you have a clear head, not at the end of a long day, and send notes however suits you: margin comments, a voice memo or a quick call. Your writer revises, and you can repeat this as many times as needed because revisions are unlimited. Then a separate editor works through structure, line edits and proofreading. We also verify the facts that matter: names, dates, figures and claims a reader might question. For professionals, this includes anything touching client confidentiality, so flag it early and we'll handle it with care. The usual hazards are too many reviewers and shifting goals midway through. Keep one decision-maker, keep a short list of must-keep passages, and the manuscript will improve with every round instead of drifting. Reading the draft aloud, even in a quiet corner of the office, is a cheap way to find stiff sentences, repeated phrases and anything that doesn't sound like you. Why leave that job to a reader who has already bought the book?
When the manuscript is approved, we turn it into a product. The interior is formatted for ebook, paperback and hardcover, the book cover is designed to work at full size and as a small thumbnail, and the description, categories and author bio are set up with you. You approve proofs before release. After that, the book is published through 10 channels. A frequent oversight is skipping the proof stage because the manuscript has been read so many times; fresh eyes on the typeset pages still catch mistakes. If marketing support is part of your plan, launch preparation begins before release day, so reviews, announcements and outreach are ready when the book appears. Your first printed copy arrives, and the project you kept postponing is suddenly on your desk. If anything needs changing late, our book editing team can handle small corrections quickly, though large rewrites after layout are best avoided.
Cost
Book writing services cost depends on length, genre, research and how much of the work you hand over. Olive Publishers prepares a written quote after a free consultation. Our Complete Global 3-Format Publishing package begins at $1399, and first-time authors can receive discounts up to 60% when it fits the project.
Here's how to read those figures. The $1399 package covers publishing your book as an ebook, paperback and hardcover, with distribution through 10 channels. Writing is quoted separately, because the cost of ghostwriting services depends on length, genre and how much research the book needs. Everything is itemized and explained on the free consultation, and any first-time author discount, up to 60% when it fits, is discussed before you decide. There's one offer at a time and no countdown timer. Busy professionals sometimes ask whether a rock-bottom quote is worth a look. Rarely, and the next paragraph explains why.
First-time author discounts of up to 60% may be available when they fit your project. Call (888) 449-7509 for a free consultation and a written quote based on your book type and length. Our Complete Global 3-Format Publishing package starts from $1,399 and covers ebook, paperback and hardcover through 10 channels.
Be careful with content mills, especially when your name and professional reputation will be on the cover. A very low price usually means a template outline, an assigned writer who has never worked in your field and a manuscript built to be finished quickly rather than to be good. Sections can be recycled between clients, and some mills lean on unedited machine output. Neither survives a skeptical reader, an AI-detection check or a colleague who knows your subject. Revisions are limited, replies slow down once you've paid and nobody is accountable for the result. For a founder, an attorney or a physician, a weak book can do more harm than no book at all. What is your professional reputation worth? Ask who writes it, what they've written before, how many revisions are included and who answers your calls. Olive Publishers assigns genre-experienced writers and editors, offers unlimited revisions with 100% satisfaction and keeps support open 24/7. Check anyone's claims, ours included.
Making The Right Choice
Choose a book writing company by checking four things: who actually writes your book, how many revisions you get, what support exists after payment, and what public evidence backs up the promises. Ask for itemized quotes in writing, and treat anything extremely cheap and extremely fast as a risk, not a bargain.
| What To Compare | Olive Publishers | Typical Content Mill | Doing It Yourself |
|---|---|---|---|
| Writer | Genre-experienced writer or editor matched to your project | Whoever is available | You, in evenings and weekends |
| Revisions | Unlimited, with 100% satisfaction | Limited rounds, then fees | Unlimited, but unguided |
| Support | 24/7 by phone and email | Slows down after payment | No one to ask |
| Delivery | Typically 2–3 weeks when the brief is clear | Rushed, with uneven quality | Often a year or more |
| Publishing | Ebook, paperback and hardcover through 10 channels | Extra cost or unavailable | Each platform learned alone |
| Track Record | Case studies, Trustpilot 4.6 and Google reviews | Difficult to verify | No track record yet |
A founder's book and a family memoir need different skills. Olive Publishers matches each project to a genre-experienced writer or editor, and your consultation explains how that works for your subject.
If your book touches clients, patients, employees or financial details, ask about confidentiality before you share anything. Request any terms in writing, and tell your writer early what is off-limits.
Find out how interviews work. Ours run by phone, video or voice memo, and support is available 24/7, so a conversation can happen on a train, in a car or after dinner.
Ask for case studies and public reviews, not just testimonials chosen by the seller. We link our case studies, Trustpilot page and Google reviews on this page so you can check for yourself.
Local
Olive Publishers serves Glen Cove and the North Shore remotely by phone and video from its New York studio at 1280 Madison Ave. There’s no Glen Cove storefront, and we say so plainly. From The Landing to Crescent Beach Road, authors get the same genre-matched writers, unlimited revisions and 24/7 support.
Glen Cove has always been a place where big stories happened. In the 1830s steamboats began carrying passengers between New York City and a spot on the water that’s still called The Landing. By 1850 it was a popular summer resort, and later the Gold Coast era brought Morgan, Pratt, Phipps and Woolworth family estates to the shoreline. Many of those private grounds are now public: Morgan Memorial Park, Welwyn Preserve with its 204 acres, and the 62-acre Garvies Point Preserve with its museum of Long Island geology and Native American archaeology. A city whose parks used to be private empires knows that stories outlive their owners. So where’s the book about yours?
Glen Cove is also a working, learning, many-voiced city. The Webb Institute, a naval architecture college, sits on Crescent Beach Road, and the Glen Cove Mansion on Dosoris Lane occupies the former Pratt estate. The 2020 census counted 26,964 residents, and the community is widely described as one of the most diverse in Nassau County. That mix means families whose stories travel across continents and languages, and entrepreneurs who started with a single counter or a single client. Those are books people want to read, and they’re why many authors here ask about adding book translation services after the first edition is done. Isn’t it worth getting those stories down while everyone is around to tell them?
Plenty of people in Glen Cove, Sea Cliff, Glen Head, Glenwood Landing, Locust Valley and Lattingtown commute toward Manhattan, and the Oyster Bay Branch of the Long Island Rail Road stops at Glen Head, Sea Cliff, Glen Street, Glen Cove and Locust Valley. Our process is built for that rhythm. Interviews can be a short call from the platform, drafts can be read on a phone, and notes can be sent from a seat by the window. Oyster Bay and the rest of the North Shore are covered by the same remote team, so a busy week doesn’t derail a book. Between Long Island Sound views and Sea Cliff’s Victorian streets, there’s no shortage of inspiration either.
If you typed book writing services near me Glen Cove, here’s the plain version: Olive Publishers works from its New York studio, not from a shop in downtown Glen Cove, and serves you by phone and video. Your first consultation is free. Tell us what you’d like to write, see how we’d approach it and decide whether it fits. If it doesn’t, you’ve spent an hour. If it does, you’ve begun.
Why Olive Publishers
Authors choose Olive Publishers because one team handles the whole journey: a genre-matched writer, unlimited revisions, publishing and marketing support, and a 4.6 Trustpilot rating. After 10+ years and 500+ authors, we’ve learned how to protect an author’s voice and an author’s schedule at the same time.
Ten years and more than 500 authors have shown us what makes a book finish and what makes it stall. Whether you’re writing your first or your fifth, you get the same care.
We’ve been part of over 800 bestsellers. We can’t promise that result for your book, and nobody honest can, but we do know the standard a professional book has to meet.
Check us before you trust us. Our Trustpilot page is public, and we encourage you to read the reviews, praise and complaints alike, rather than rely on a number from us.
There’s no cap on revision rounds, and satisfaction stays at 100%. If the opening is wrong, it gets rewritten. If a chapter doesn’t sound like you, it gets another pass.
Does a company’s marketing match what its customers say? That’s the right question to ask anyone you hire. Read our case studies to see how projects were planned, then open our Trustpilot reviews and judge for yourself. We’ve kept review counts off this page on purpose, because the live figures on those sites are more reliable than a number we could quote here. For professionals whose reputations depend on being exact, it’s the right way to evaluate any partner. Any book ghostwriter worth hiring will welcome the scrutiny.
After The Manuscript
Publishing with Olive Publishers puts your finished book into ebook, paperback and hardcover formats through 10 channels, with marketing as an optional extra. No honest company can guarantee sales, and we don’t. We guarantee a professionally produced book, a clear plan and a team that remains available after release.
A well-typeset interior signals professionalism before a reader gets to the first sentence. Our book formatting team prepares separate layouts for ebook, paperback and hardcover, adjusting fonts, margins, chapter starts and front and back matter for each. Spine width and cover size depend on page count, so layout is settled before the final cover. You review a proof, mark anything unusual and approve it. Catching an error here costs a few minutes; catching it after printing costs money and patience.
Readers decide in seconds. Your cover has to look right in a thumbnail, and your description has to earn the click. We design the cover with your genre and audience in mind, then write the listing: title, subtitle, description, categories and author bio. For a business or expert book, we focus on credibility and the problem you solve. For a memoir or novel, we focus on mood and story. You approve everything, and we revise anything that doesn’t feel like you.
After approval, your book goes live in all three formats through 10 channels. Our book publishing and self-publishing team manages uploads, technical checks and the details first-time authors often miss. Understanding royalties helps you price sensibly: Amazon KDP pays 60% on paperbacks minus printing costs and up to 70% on qualifying ebooks priced between $2.99 and $9.99. We explain how pricing and royalties apply to your title so the numbers don’t come as a surprise later.
A launch plan gives a new book its best chance of being noticed. Our book launch marketing covers early reviews, announcements and timing, Amazon marketing helps your listing perform, and book marketing keeps the book in front of readers after the first weeks. An author website gives you a professional home base. On the North Shore, local avenues matter too: library talks, community newsletters, business associations and speaking invitations. We tailor the plan to your goals and budget, and we’re honest about what each step can achieve.

Hiring a ghostwriter makes sense when you have the knowledge but not the time or the writing craft to turn it into a finished manuscript. Writing a book is a serious project, and most professionals find that a calendar full of meetings leaves little energy for it. A ghostwriter interviews you, studies your material and drafts chapters in your voice, while you review and decide. The book still carries your ideas, your stories and your name. It simply gets finished. If you'd rather write your own first draft, we can edit it instead. Ask yourself a practical question: if you'd say ‘I should write my book’ every year for five years, would help change the outcome? For many Glen Cove authors it does, because the hardest part, getting started, is shared.
Typical ghostwriting delivery is 2–3 weeks when the brief is clear, and a packed schedule doesn't have to change that. What matters is how quickly questions get answered, not how many hours you have. Short calls and voice memos work well between meetings, and drafts can be read on a phone. We'll agree on a rhythm during the consultation, such as two brief calls a week or a standing time on Sunday evening. Editing, design and publishing follow the manuscript, so the full path to release takes longer than the draft alone. If you have a hard date, such as a conference or a launch, tell us at the start and we'll plan backward from it. We'd rather give you an honest timeline than an impressive one. A book ghostwriter can work with whatever time you have.
No, Olive Publishers does not have an office in Glen Cove. Our studio is at 1280 Madison Ave Unit 301, New York, NY 10128, and we work with North Shore authors by phone and video. Everything from first consultation to proof approval can happen remotely, which suits professionals who'd rather not add a trip to an already full calendar. Interviews can be done from your office, your home or the platform at Glen Street, and support is open 24/7. If you'd like to discuss meeting in person, ask on your consultation call. We prefer to be upfront about this rather than suggest a local storefront that doesn't exist. Most authors find that a good phone call and a clear shared document work better than a conference room anyway.
Yes, a well-written book is one of the most effective credibility tools available to a founder, consultant, attorney, physician or executive. It shows depth that a website or a talk can't, and it gives potential clients, partners and event organizers a reason to take you seriously. Some authors use it to win speaking invitations; others hand copies to prospects before a first meeting. The key is making it useful rather than promotional. Readers should learn something and trust you more because of it. We start by defining your audience and the problem you solve, then build a book around it. Our book ghostwriter team writes in your voice and keeps your professional standards in mind, and you approve everything. We can't promise specific business results, but a strong book gives you a stronger platform.
Yes, we can write the memoir in English and discuss book translation services as an add-on for other languages. Many Glen Cove families have stories that cross countries and generations, and it's common for older relatives to read in a different language from their grandchildren. We recommend finishing the English manuscript first, then planning translation, because changes after translation mean paying twice. Scope, timing and cost depend on the language and the length, so we confirm those on your consultation call. During interviews, we're happy to work from recordings, photos and written notes in more than one language. Names, places and cultural details matter, so we ask you to review how they appear. A bilingual family book can be a lasting gift, and it's worth doing carefully.
Confidentiality matters, especially if your book touches clients, patients, employees or family matters. Ask for confidentiality terms in writing before you share sensitive material, and tell your writer early what's off-limits. Olive Publishers works with you on what goes into the book, and you approve every draft before publishing. Names, places and details can be changed or removed. For professionals bound by privacy rules, we recommend writing in composites or with permissions, and checking your own obligations first. We can't give legal advice, and an attorney is the right person to review anything sensitive. What we can do is treat your material carefully and keep you in control of the final text. If you have concerns, raise them on the consultation call, where we can talk through how projects like yours are handled. Any book ghostwriter you hire should answer that directly.
Yes, first-time author discounts of up to 60% may be available when they fit your project. We confirm the figure on your free consultation, since a short ebook and a full manuscript are very different scopes. Our Complete Global 3-Format Publishing package starts from $1399 and covers ebook, paperback and hardcover through 10 channels. There's one offer at a time and no fake countdown timer, so you can decide calmly. When comparing providers, ask each one what's included, how many revisions you get and who picks up the phone after payment. A lower price for ghostwriting services can cost more if the draft is unusable. We're glad to put our quote in writing, line by line, so you can compare it honestly with anyone else's.
Olive Publishers handles non-fiction, business books, memoir, autobiography, fiction, novels, fantasy, children's books, ebooks and screenplays, plus articles and blogs that support a book. Our ghostwriting services cover each of them. Every project is matched to a writer or editor with experience in that genre. A Glen Cove author might bring a thought-leadership book, a family history, a novel set among the old Gold Coast estates or a picture book for a grandchild. If your idea sits between categories, such as a business memoir or a historical novel, that's fine; we'll note it in the brief and assign someone who understands both sides. Tell us on the call which books you'd like yours to sit beside on a shelf, and we'll use them as a reference for tone, length and pacing.
Our Complete Global 3-Format Publishing package from $1399 produces an ebook, a paperback and a hardcover, available through 10 channels. Each format serves different readers: ebooks for convenience, paperbacks for events and gifts, hardcovers for a premium look and for libraries. Royalties vary by retailer and format. For example, Amazon KDP pays 60% on paperbacks minus printing costs and up to 70% on qualifying ebooks priced between $2.99 and $9.99. Your price, page count and format affect what you earn per copy. We explain how this works for your book before you set a price. Proofs are approved by you before release. Audiobook and translation can be added later if you want to reach more readers. Ask us to explain any figure you don't recognize.
Start before publication and keep going afterward. Olive Publishers offers book marketing, Amazon marketing, launch campaigns, social media, content marketing and author websites. Early work covers the description, categories, author bio and a plan for the first weeks, when reviews and early sales can help a new book get noticed. After that, steady activity matters: articles, posts, talks and outreach. For North Shore authors, local options help, such as library events, business associations, community newsletters and speaking invitations. No honest marketer can guarantee sales or a bestseller ranking, and we don't. What we offer is a realistic plan, built around your goals and budget, plus a team that keeps adjusting it as results come in. Launch is the start of the work, not the finish line.
Yes, an audiobook can be added after your ebook and print editions are ready. A typical 60,000-word manuscript runs about six and a half hours as finished audio, which is several commutes' worth. Olive Publishers prepares and distributes audiobooks, and we'll walk you through narration options, timing and cost on your consultation. Our advice is to lock the text first, because recording a manuscript that's still changing means paying twice. Audiobooks can reach people who don't have time to sit down with a book, including the many Long Island residents who spend hours in cars and trains. Many authors add audio a few months after launch, once they've seen how the main book is doing and where listeners might be.
Less than most people expect, though it isn't zero. You'll have a first consultation, a few interviews or voice memos, a review of the outline and sample, and time to read and respond to drafts. Many clients handle this in short blocks between other commitments. Typical ghostwriting delivery is 2–3 weeks when the brief is clear, and quick replies are the biggest factor in staying on schedule. You make the decisions, and your ghostwriter does the drafting. Revisions are unlimited, so you won't need to get everything perfect in one pass, and support is open 24/7 if you think of something at an odd hour. Tell us your busiest weeks upfront and we'll plan around them rather than push through them.
