Owning a business can be freeing, exciting, filled with proud moments, and also…hard. Trust us, we know. Managing your passion while also managing customers, websites, agendas, and timesheets can quickly become overwhelming. And that’s the exact reason Owl & Pen came to be. 

The more we connected with local business owners (wherever their local is), the more we heard how hard it was to tell their story. Many shared they’d been paying for a blog or newsletter platform without adding to it for months or even years. Others logged into social pages or websites that hadn’t been updated in just as long. And you wouldn’t believe how many had dreamed up a book, sometimes fully outlined in their heads, but never imagined a way to take it any further. 

Sometimes, all you need is a ghost. Hiring a ghostwriter is just like hiring someone to help you with your point-of-sale system or building maintenance. We’re here to support from behind-the-scenes so you can focus on your business and your passion. Which means we’re ready to guide any step of the writing process, or maybe even all of them, depending on what works for you. 

A Dedicated Writer Who Learns Your Voice

As ghostwriters, our job is to listen closely and craft content that sounds like, well, you. We are doing our best work when the writing sounds like it came straight from someone else! Through conversation and deep listening—understanding your audience, your goals, your messaging—we do our best to match the tone, cadence, and phrasing that comes naturally through your voice. Ideally, our writing sounds like you on your best day. 

Organization of Ideas

You have lots of ideas, and good ones too. You wouldn’t be where you are without that stroke of genius. But translating those words and putting them down on paper in a way that makes sense, can feel like a monumental task. Clarifying ideas, structuring thoughts into a logical flow—that’s our specialty. We can identify gaps and redundancies and turn your raw insight into a coherent story for everyone to love. 

Wordsmithing, Finesse, and Flow

Taking an objective step back from your work isn’t easy. Having someone else read, critique, and edit is an integral part of the process, though it can be hard. But hiring a ghostwriter doesn’t mean we rewrite your story. We help you tell it by identifying what’s most important, smoothing and strengthening transitions, expanding explanations wherever needed, and tightening up language without flattening your personality and voice. Our goal is to balance clarity with warmth and authority while keeping everything that makes the writing yours. 

Human-Centered 

The human experience is what connects us all and helps us relate to one another. We bring this to our work and to your content. In practice, this looks like replacing generic language with lived experience, and avoiding buzzwords, jargon, and empty phrases to keep writing grounded and real. We aim for writing that sounds like it came from a person…because it did. 

Expertise Turned Into Useful Content

At Owl & Pen, our writers are experienced in putting your purpose first, whatever that may be. A blog post for your audience or mailing list, an article on thought leadership, or business books to build credibility. Your goal is our goal. 

What It Doesn’t Look Like

There are lots of misconceptions about what it means to hire a ghostwriter. Many assume it equals bland, generic writing that doesn’t sound like you or auto-generated content that’s just words on a page. But we avoid plug-and-play templates and writing without context or personalized voice.  

That’s just not us. 

Collaboration & Clearing Your Plate

So what does hiring a ghostwriter mean, then? It means a professional partnership, not outsourcing your voice. Relying on clear processes and feedback loops. Managing drafts, revisions, and cohesion within your work. We help you keep momentum while holding the bigger picture. 

Whether you need a second pair of editing eyes or someone to build up the framework from the beginning, we can help. Hiring a ghostwriter is an empowering way to share your voice the way you want. And we’d be honored to tell your story this year. Email ctremblay@owlandpenwriting.com to start the conversation.
