Publish your book everywhere.
Confidential, voice-matched book writing for Michigan's automotive executives, engineers, and academic researchers, from Detroit to Ann Arbor. Your name, your rights, your story.
Custom, Confidential Book Writing
Ghostwriting is the process of hiring a professional writer to draft your book while you remain the credited author with full ownership of the finished manuscript. For Michigan's automotive executives, engineers, and academic researchers, it offers a way to turn real career experience or years of research into a finished book without taking months away from work to write it. Global Publishing Hub handles the entire process for Michigan clients, from the first interview through a publish-ready draft, scheduling everything around your existing professional commitments.
Why Michigan Authors Choose Us
Michigan's identity runs through Detroit's automotive and advanced manufacturing leadership and Ann Arbor's research university community. Our clients here range from engineering executives with a specific project or program to write about, to professors and researchers looking to adapt years of academic work into a book for a broader audience beyond their usual academic readership. Both groups tend to bring detailed technical material, and our job is making sure that detail survives the translation into a book a general reader will actually finish.
Executives and engineers from the automotive and advanced manufacturing sector often want a leadership or industry-history book grounded in real project experience. We work from your own accounts of specific programs and decisions rather than generic management advice, pulling out the specific engineering or program-management lessons that make the book useful to readers in the same field.
Researchers and professors around the University of Michigan frequently want to adapt years of academic work into a trade nonfiction book that reaches readers outside their field, and we help make that translation without losing the underlying rigor, restructuring the material around a narrative arc rather than an academic argument structure.
What We Write
We work with Michigan clients on a variety of projects. Automotive and manufacturing executives and engineers often want a leadership or industry-history book grounded in real project experience, and we build these from your own accounts of specific programs and decisions rather than generic management advice pulled from elsewhere and dressed up as original insight. Researchers and professors around Ann Arbor frequently want to adapt academic work into trade nonfiction that reaches readers outside their field, and we help with that translation without stripping out the underlying rigor that makes the work credible in the first place.
We also write memoirs, biography, self-help titles, and fiction for Michigan authors working on personal projects separate from their professional careers. Company anniversary books are another common request among Michigan's long-established manufacturers, often combining archival research with interviews from multiple generations of leadership. A discovery call at the start of every engagement helps us determine the right service and timeline, and we are upfront if a project would work better as a shorter, more focused title than a full-length book.
How It Works
Every project begins with a project brief call to understand your goals, audience, and timeline, including any company anniversary or retirement date the book is meant to align with. Our writers then research your topic and build a full chapter outline, which we share with you for review before any drafting starts, so structural questions get resolved before the writing itself begins. Once approved, we draft the manuscript using your own interviews and material, keeping the final book grounded in your actual voice and experience rather than a generic industry tone. Interviews are typically scheduled in 45 to 60 minute video sessions, spaced out to fit around a demanding production or research schedule.
The draft then goes through multiple rounds of editing and proofreading with our internal editorial team, checking clarity, structure, and factual consistency. For technical automotive or research-based projects, we add a dedicated fact-check pass to confirm accuracy before finalizing, cross-referencing any technical claims or data points you want included. From there, Michigan clients can continue directly into formatting, cover design, and publishing without needing to bring in a separate provider.
Clear Deliverables
A fixed set of deliverables, laid out clearly before you sign anything.
Transparent Pricing
Michigan clients typically pay between $7,000 and $28,000 for a complete manuscript, with the final number shaped by length, research depth, and how much source material you provide up front. As a general guide, a shorter 30,000-word leadership booklet runs $7,000 to $12,000, a standard 50,000 to 70,000-word business or academic-to-trade book runs $12,000 to $20,000, and a longer, research-intensive manuscript above 80,000 words can run $20,000 to $28,000.
Technical automotive and research-based nonfiction projects tend to land toward the upper end of that range because of the additional fact-checking and terminology review involved in getting the technical details right. A free quote follows your initial consultation, so the cost is clear before you decide to move forward, with payment split across outline approval, drafting, and final delivery.

Choosing Your Path
Michigan clients typically choose between self-publishing, which is faster and keeps full royalties and control, and traditional publishing, which takes longer but can add credibility for an academic-to-trade adaptation aimed at a national readership. Automotive and manufacturing leadership books are often self-published for a company or industry audience, while some academic adaptations pursue a traditional deal for wider distribution. We walk through the tradeoffs during your consultation.
Genres We Write
Our Michigan clients write across a range of categories, and if your project does not fit a clear one, we help you figure that out during the initial consultation rather than forcing it into a predetermined format.
A Michigan-Aware Team
A ghostwriting team familiar with Michigan's automotive and academic landscape means less time spent explaining industry or research context from scratch. Every project starts with a signed confidentiality agreement, and you are assigned one dedicated project contact for the length of the engagement instead of being passed between different staff members as the project progresses. Our writers are comfortable working from engineering documentation and academic papers alongside interviews, which shortens the research phase considerably compared to starting from conversation alone.
Proven Track Record
Global Publishing Hub has worked with clients across the automotive, manufacturing, and academic worlds, and our Michigan portfolio includes leadership books, memoirs, and adapted academic titles that have gone on to publish through both traditional and self-publishing routes. Our past clients include researchers and executives who came to the project with dense technical material and left with a manuscript a general reader could actually follow.
