What are business book writing services?
Business book writing services help a leader turn professional expertise into a finished, published book that builds authority and supports business growth. At Big Impact Books, that means guided interviews to develop the manuscript, independent publishing, and book marketing, rather than leaving the author alone with a blank page.
The difference from a typical ghostwriter is voice and follow-through. Melanie Herschorn says she refuses to churn out cookie cutter content or hide behind ghostwriting. The manuscript is shaped from your own spoken answers, and promotion begins well before launch, because a book nobody hears about cannot open doors.

How it works
How do business book writing services work at Big Impact Books?
The process runs in four stages. You bring the expertise and one hour a week; the team handles the structure, the writing from your interviews, the publishing, and the promotion.
Plan the book around your business goal
Define the reader, the promise, and the next business move the book should support. The free book planning checklist covers this stage.
Create the manuscript through guided interviews
Talk through each chapter in a weekly guided interview. The team organizes your answers into a manuscript in your own voice.
Publish with an independent publisher
Big Impact Books, as an independent publisher, guides the finished manuscript through to a published book.
Promote it to build authority
Promotional support such as podcast placements and media coverage puts your expertise in front of the people you want to reach.
Publish my book for executives
Publish my book as an executive, without slowing down
If you have been telling yourself you will publish your book once things calm down, the guided interview method removes the biggest obstacle: time. Instead of blocking out writing days, you talk through one chapter at a time in a recurring interview, and the team turns those conversations into a manuscript.
Executives also need more than a printed book. Big Impact Books treats the book as an authority engine that supports your next business move, so the plan includes promotion such as podcast placements and media coverage.
How executives publish a book with Big Impact Books"Before working with Melanie and her team, my biggest frustration was figuring out how to write and publish my book. I knew I wanted to share my story and reach more people, but with my schedule and other commitments, I felt overwhelmed and never thought I would have the time to sit down and write. The weekly interviews made the process manageable."

Questions about business book writing services
What are business book writing services?
Business book writing services help a leader turn professional expertise into a finished, published book. At Big Impact Books, that means guided interviews to develop the manuscript, publishing support, and promotion such as podcast placements and media coverage, all aimed at building authority and supporting business growth.
Is Big Impact Books a ghostwriting service?
Not in the usual sense. Melanie Herschorn says she refuses to churn out cookie cutter content or hide behind ghostwriting. Instead, guided interviews capture what you know in your own words, and the team shapes those conversations into a manuscript, so the finished book reflects your real voice and expertise.
How much time does writing a book take each week?
Big Impact Books says its process is designed to take just one hour a week of your time. That hour is typically spent in a guided interview, which is why the approach suits busy executives, attorneys, and business owners who cannot block out long stretches for writing.
How much do business book writing services cost?
Big Impact Books does not list prices on its public site, so the honest answer is to ask on a call. Cost generally depends on book length, how much writing support you need, and how much promotion is included. Bundled writing, publishing, and promotion usually costs more than writing alone.
Will the book sound like me?
That is the point of the interview method. Because the manuscript is built from your own spoken answers, your phrasing, stories, and opinions carry into the book. Big Impact Books says its process honors your authentic voice and lets clients own their brilliance rather than reading like generic content.
Who should choose a different option?
If you love writing and have time to draft every chapter yourself, a self-publishing platform such as Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or Apple Books may fit better. If you only want a writer to produce the text and plan to handle promotion yourself, a dedicated ghostwriting service may suit you.
