Mining Betrayal Autobiography Ghostwriter
Budget: $100,000 – $0 USD
My story begins in 1976 when four brothers—including me—built a thriving opencast-mining company in England. What followed was a saga of corporate maneuvering, family betrayal, and eventual exile: the eldest brother forced out two of us once the business was “bullet-proof,” later amassing a fortune I estimate at close to a billion pounds. My own dismissal, blamed first on coal-sourcing decisions and then on “asset mismanagement” (though I only ever had a company car), was just the start. During the pandemic I uncovered documents that reveal an even deeper pattern of manipulation that I now see as classic narcissism—and I have proof.
I want these events shaped into a full-length, non-fiction autobiography that reads with the immediacy of a thriller yet stands up to scrutiny as an accurate business chronicle. You’ll have access to my personal records, correspondence, industry papers, and the reflections I’ve kept over four decades. I’m prepared to sit for extensive recorded interviews and can arrange contact with a handful of former colleagues who witnessed key moments.
Here’s how I picture our collaboration:
• Research & Structuring
– Work with me to establish a clear timeline, verify facts, and design a compelling chapter framework.
• Voice Development
– Capture my perspective—technical where needed (royalties, CEGB coal contracts), emotionally candid elsewhere—so readers feel they’re hearing the story straight from me.
• Manuscript Production
– Draft an 80–100k-word narrative, refine through two full revision cycles, and deliver a publish-ready manuscript (Word + PDF).
• Discretion & IP
– A signed NDA is essential; rights transfer on final payment.
If you have a track record in autobiography, true-business tales, or investigative nonfiction, I’d love to start with a short call and a paid sample chapter to ensure our styles align.
