"The second most-frequent writing request, after books, is for school papers. We respond to all such queries by refusing to help a student cheat himself (or herself) out of an education."

Hire a Book Writer or Editor from Canada
Sometimes the book is in you, but you need somebody to bring it out. No problem, we can do it for you. We can put your thoughts, ideas and knowledge into a book of just about any length, written in just about any style on most topics. Or maybe the book has come out, but just needs some polishing. Our manuscript editors can help.
"Your book must captivate readers to have an impact."
What we do for your manuscript
We start by organizing your information. Most topics can be organized in several ways, so we will work with you on that. We will write the chapter titles first, then map out your information across the chapters. Sometimes chapter titles will change after the writing. That's OK.
There is more to writing a book than just one flowing text. For instance, we'll prepare your:
- call-out boxes.
- case studies.
- subtitles or section titles.
- illustration captions.
- games or quizzes
- whatever other elements you want to bring your topic alive
We have real experience writing books and ebooks, as well as humor articles, how-to topics, business and finance topics, true stories, motivational, informational and opinion subjects, and much more.
If your topic is highly technical and aimed at a highly sophisticated audience in a scientific, financial or medical area, you might be best seeking out a genre expert. Any other topic, especially a technical topic aimed at a general audience, can best be served by generalists with strong writing skills (such as us!).
- V. and some colleagues are experienced investors, and they want to help others start up investment clubs. What better way than by writing a book, a how-to manual on starting an investment club? Books written by committee rarely shine, but books written by our financial writer do. So V. asked us to put it together for them.
- S. has written the novel of his life, and epic that draws on his observations. He wants it to entertain, educate and philosophize all at once. At well over 100,000 words, it is indeed a work of epic proportions that has evolved even as it was being written. Dedication and quality writing have helped us deliver his "baby".
- B. wants a book to sell at speaking engagements and through other venues. He has honed his message and he knows he has a receptive audience, but writing is not his forte. No problem, we have an energetic writer who knows how to convey his sense of excitement and motivation working on his book right now.
- P. has a story idea. It is a Christian story that addresses some of the paradoxes of our time...increasing understanding of science on the one hand, steadfast faith in ancient doctrine on the other hand. His thesis is that the two can go hand in hand and he came to us for help putting forward his thoughts..
- L. needs a series of articles written. But she is just way too busy to write them herself. The articles would be informational, to help potential clients feel comfortable hiring her company on consulting projects. Because the articles would appear on her website, she also wants them to be SEO friendly. She looked for a good SEO writer and settled on The Happy Guy Marketing.
- W. already wrote his novel, and he's been editing for two years. It's time to get a third party to look it over. This is actually a small project, and a we'll have W. ready to publish in no time. He wanted to find someone in Canada to give it a substantial edit.
There are five parts to writing a manuscript:
- Organizing your ideas. Our book writers can do this for you, but it is usually best for you to do it yourself.
- Choosing anecdotes, quotes, historical examples, diagrams, etc. Again, we can do this for you, but you probably will want to do some or even most of this yourself.
- Research. Depending on your topic, there might be the need for substantial research. This will vary from book to book and from author to author.
- Writing. This is self-explanatory.
- Editing - second draft. How extensive this phase is depends primarily on how much of the information you want included was given to the book writer as part of the first three points above.
