Marketing · from $1,800 · 4 to 12 weeks per article

Bylined articles in outlets your readers actually read.

Ghostwritten op-eds, contributor articles, and guest essays placed in named publications. We name them in writing before you commit.

Featured-article placement is a real channel if it is honest about what it is: ghostwritten thought-leadership pieces pitched to specific publications, with the placement rate visible in advance. We never promise placements we cannot defend on the call.

Featured articles — FAQ

Questions we get every week, answered straight.

Where can you place a typical author?

Realistic placements: trade publications in your category (Publisher's Weekly contributor pieces, Forbes Councils, Entrepreneur contributor, HuffPost, Medium publications). Less realistic: NYT, WSJ, FT, New Yorker (these come through traditional publicist relationships and personal contacts). We are honest about your specific tier on the discovery call.

Will the article credit me as the author?

Yes — that's the whole point. Your byline, your photo, your bio with a link to your book. We are the ghost; you are the credited author.

What if no outlet picks it up?

We refund 50% of the placement fee and you keep the article (which you can self-publish on Medium, LinkedIn, or your own site). We have a 73% placement rate in 12 weeks across the last 18 months.
