Cookbook-Memoir Ghostwriting & Design

I’d like to turn four decades of hospitality experience—and a 16-year run in professional sport—into a single, reader-friendly volume that works as both a casual, conversational memoir and a cookbook built around my personal favourite recipes.

Here’s what I need help with:

• Structuring the narrative so the life stories flow naturally around each recipe.
• Shaping a warm, informal voice throughout.
• Refining and standardising each recipe for clarity and home kitchen success.
• Planning, shooting and placing full-colour photographs that showcase the dishes and, where appropriate, key moments of my career.
• Full manuscript editing, layout and design, ready for print and digital release.
• Guidance on publishing options, timelines and the cost implications of each stage.

If you have a proven track record in cookbook ghostwriting or food-memoir production, I’d love to hear how you would approach the project, the milestones you suggest and an estimate of the fees attached to each step.
