The ghostwriters name doesn't need to be mentioned when you publish and all confidentiality is upheld.


The Encouragers Life would love to support the creation by spot lighting it on our socials, but this can be opted out if the clients prefers.


"But I don't need a ghostwriter?"


Need some help developing your book but you want to write it yourself?


No problem.  


Say hi in the contact form or email us to let me know exactly what you need, and we can work out an arrangement bespoke to you.


The Legal Stuff

The process can take up to 9 - 12 months, although the Book Buddy program has completed projects faster, but it does depend on the project and work load at the time.


Extra time will be required to do final editing for your piece.   


Only two rounds of editing are allowed.  Being an author myself I know the peril of the forever editing stage.  Having two creates focus and urgency, helping the book reach its finish earlier.


The first edit can take place up to 3 months after the completed manuscript.  The second up to 3 months after the first round.  


In exceptional circumstances, (like wishing to make major changes), and more editing is required we can look at the amount of hours that will be needed to complete, price the workload and give you the amount.  Monies will have to be paid up front.


Organisations, charities and individuals are welcome.


No refunds unfortunately once work has begun.  This is because the writer will be dedicating their time to the project and it is only right that their pay be honoured.  


It is the clients responsibility to ensure that the story is unfolding how they like and to make adjusts during the process.


No abuse will be tolerated.  We want people with a story to tell or a wonderful imagination to get their adventures on paper and eventually in book form.  Clients will be treated with dignity and we ask that that is reciprocated.


If you would like more information you can email theencouragerslife@gmail.com for a list of terms and conditions with no obligation.  Let us know a little about what you are aspiring to create for yourself or for your organisation.


You can also use the contact form at the bottom of the page.


Thanks in advance for your consideration.


N.B. Please note that everyone is automatically enrolled in to the mailing this upon contact.  If you don't want to be on the mailing list just let me know.

To Those Dealing With Life's Mess- You Are Not Alone

Disclaimer Please be advised that the following article has details and description surrounding surgery and childbirth which some people may find upsetting.   I lay on the operating table as nurses and doctors buzzed around me.   One male nurse stayed with me.   I had had an epidural, a top up and then when it failed to numb the necessary, a got a spinal tap. Although I couldn’t feel my feet, or much else for that matter, I began to feel a burn.   They had retrieved my son from my stomach.   The hard part was over.   They had wrapped him and gave him to my husband.   I had even fed him whilst lying there open to the room full of people.   But I knew something wasn’t right.   I was there far too long.   The female doctor who had performed the caesarean looked panicked.   They nodded to each other from across the carnage that was my belly and one went and picked up the phone.   I was surprisingly calm.   Maybe it was the drugs?   Maybe it was shock.   But I remember feeling very clear

To The Lonely- You Are Not Alone

  Sitting on the carpet at my parents’ store, I remember the fibres poking through my school tights as I watched them work.   I observed my family negotiate social situations and talk like pros.   The subtle shifts in stance.   The smiles.   The tender tones. And the occasional expression that accompanied holding a tearful customers hand.    They had it all together.   They knew what they were doing.   But I felt just like the carpet I rested on.   I was waiting to feel useful.   I was ready for someone to look at me and say, that’s the one I want.   It's perfect. I desired that in friendships.  I desired that from teachers.    I desired that from someone.  Anyone.    I knew I had something inside me that was different.    I saw the world a little deeper than others that I came in to contact with. I processed life differently to my peers.   I often didn’t understand them.   I found that I understood the older generation better.    I could get on board with their work ethic.   I alw

Becoming Woman

For all of my life I have not been the ‘average,’ woman.  To each person that may mean something different so, I would like to clarify my perspective.   When I was growing up I thought womanhood was about; Dolls Having boyfriends or male admirers Gentleness Quietness Fertility Being good at stuff but not sharing about it. Knowing how to dress Knowing how to style my hair and do the whole makeup thing   And I didn’t fit.   I hated dolls and they still creep me out a little bit.   I was often mistaken for a boy because I was always covered in nature or doing, ‘boy activities.’   In fact I have often worked in male dominated environments.   Environments that woman are a rarity. This didn’t allow boys to find me datable or attractive and I became a, ‘good time girl,’ rather than girlfriend material.   And the worst thing was, I let them.   I wanted to be loved and adored but I met men that preyed on that desperation.   And any good guy that came along I foun
