Many people carry a story in their head, a novel idea from years back, a series they think about often, or one scene that will not let go. Turning that idea into a finished book takes a skill most people never get the chance to build.
That is where Dublin Publishing Press comes in. We work with people from all walks of life — business owners, retired teachers, doctors, and lifelong readers — who have a story worth telling but need a professional writer to shape it properly.
You do not need any writing experience, just the idea and the willingness to talk it through.
Tell us about your book and a consultant will get back to you within 24 hours, with no obligation.
Fiction covers a lot of ground, and no two books are the same. Below is a breakdown of the kinds of projects we take on most often.
We work with a wide range of clients, and there is no single type of person who hires a ghostwriter. Some come to us with a clear vision and just need the hours in the day to write it. Others have the opposite problem: plenty of time but no idea how to structure a novel. Most of our clients fall into a few groups:
If any of that sounds like you, you are exactly who this service is built for.
Not every ghostwriter or agency operates the same way, and it is worth knowing what to look for before you hire anyone, whether that is us or someone else. Ask any writer or company you are considering:
A straight answer to every one of these questions is a good sign. Vague answers, or pressure to sign quickly, are not.
It is tempting to think that ghostwriting is just typing up someone else’s ideas. In practice, a good fiction writing service Dublin authors turn to does far more than that. It shapes a raw idea into something readers will actually want to finish.
Skipping this process is usually why a first attempt at a novel stalls halfway through, or reads unevenly from chapter to chapter.
We start with a call or a meeting to hear your idea, whatever shape it is in. Some clients arrive with a full outline, others with a single scene or a character in their head. Both are fine.
Before committing to the full book, we put together a chapter-by-chapter outline and write a sample chapter, so you can see the voice and style in action and ask for changes early.
Once the outline is approved, we move into full drafting. We share progress at agreed points along the way rather than disappearing for months, so you always know where the book stands and can flag anything that does not feel right early, before it becomes a bigger problem to fix.
You will get rounds of revision built into the process. This is your book, and the draft is not finished until it reads the way you want it to. We would rather take the time to get a chapter right than rush past something that is bothering you.
You receive a completed, polished manuscript, ready for submission to agents and publishers, or ready for self-publishing, whichever route you choose. A short proofreading pass is included at this stage, so what you receive is clean and ready to send out.
There are a few reasons clients choose to work with us over other options.
Word of mouth matters in this line of work. Most of our new clients come to us because a friend, colleague, or fellow writer had a good experience and passed our name along. We would rather earn that kind of trust slowly and properly than promise more than we can deliver.
Our book publishing Dublin service covers the full journey, not just the final print run. Every Dublin book publishing project we take on begins with a proper look at the manuscript, so we understand exactly what stage you are at and what your book actually needs next.
We publish books across the platforms most authors use today, including Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and other global distributors. Whether you want a print book, an ebook, or both, we help you choose the right format and route for your goals. Whether you are planning a small print run or a wider release, every book publication project in Dublin gets the same attention from our team, from formatting checks right through to final proofing.
Explore Book PublishingWe offer developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, and proofreading, depending on what stage your manuscript is at. Our editors focus on structure, clarity, and accuracy, while keeping your tone and your voice exactly as you intended it. You will always get notes explaining why a change was suggested, not just a marked-up page with no context.
Explore Book EditingWe provide ghostwriting support across fiction, non-fiction, memoirs, business books, self-help, and children’s stories. Our writers work closely with you, turning your ideas, notes, or recorded conversations into a manuscript that still sounds like you. Drafts are shared regularly along the way, so you can steer the direction of the book before too much work goes in the wrong way.
Explore Ghostwriting ServicesWe design covers for fiction, non-fiction, academic books, and children’s titles, in both print and digital formats. From illustrated concepts to clean, simple typography, our designers build covers that suit your genre and catch a reader’s eye. We usually offer a few different directions to choose from, rather than a single take it or leave it design.
Explore Cover DesignWe format manuscripts for novels, academic texts, children’s books, and non-fiction titles. Every layout is prepared for paperback, hardback, and ebook versions, so your file meets the technical requirements of each platform before it goes live. Small details, like consistent chapter headings and clean page breaks, get checked carefully before anything is approved.
Explore Book FormattingWe help you plan a launch, prepare online listings, build simple author branding, and run targeted campaigns where it makes sense. The goal is straightforward: get your book in front of the readers most likely to actually enjoy it, rather than spreading a small budget too thin across everyone.

Every book is different, so we do not publish a flat price list, and we would be wary of any writer who did, since a 30,000-word novella and a 120,000-word fantasy epic take very different amounts of work. Cost depends on the length of the manuscript, the complexity of the world or plot, and how much outlining work is needed before drafting starts. What we can promise is a clear, written quote before any work begins, and no hidden charges added partway through. Get in touch with a short description of your idea, and we will give you a realistic quote and timeline within a few days.
It takes structure, consistency, patience, and an outside eye that can spot what is working and what is not. That is the gap a professional ghostwriter fills. Whether you are picturing a stand-alone novel, a full series, or finally finishing a manuscript that has been sitting in a drawer, the process stays the same: a real conversation, a clear outline, honest drafting, and enough rounds of revision to get it right. Dublin Publishing Press has built that process around genre writers who know their craft, so the book you end up with reads the way you always pictured it, just written properly.
If you have a book in you and you are ready to finally get it written, we would like to hear about it. Reach out to Dublin Publishing Press for a no-obligation chat about your idea. There is no pressure, and no cost, in simply having that first conversation.
No. Some clients arrive with a full outline and others with just a rough idea or a single character. We help build the outline together as part of the process.
Yes, if that is what you want. It is entirely your book, and how it is credited is your decision, not ours.
It depends on the length and complexity of the story, but most full-length novels take several months from the first outline to the final manuscript. We will give you a realistic timeline once we understand your project.
Most of our clients are based in Dublin, but we also work with authors from other parts of Ireland and abroad. All of our calls and meetings can be done remotely if that suits you better.
Yes. Revisions are built into the process, and the manuscript is not considered finished until you are happy with it.
We are based in Dublin and most of our work is with Irish clients, but we regularly work with authors elsewhere as well. Location has never been a barrier to a good working relationship.
Our writers have experience across science fiction, crime and thriller, romance, literary fiction, and short story collections. Tell us your genre, and we will match you with a writer who knows it well.
