Ralph Kapiamba
Ghostwriter and book coach for senior leaders writing memoirs and leadership books
About
I write books for senior executives who have a story worth telling but no time to write it. Some clients come with nothing on paper, others with half a manuscript or an AI draft that needs a full rewrite. We start with recorded interviews over Zoom to capture your voice, your story, and the reader you're writing for. I build the book's structure, then draft chapter by chapter, with your review at every stage. A finished book should sound like you on your best day, not like a ghostwriter. A typical project runs 3 to 6 months for a 40,000 to 60,000 word book. I take a small number of clients at a time so each book gets my full attention. I also handle editing and production through to print and Amazon KDP. I've worked with leaders in energy, mining, and corporate settings, and I write in both English and French.

Executive memoir, fully ghostwritten
From $20,000A complete memoir written in your voice, for executives and senior leaders who have lived the story but don't have the time to write it. You talk, I write. We work through your life, career, and the lessons behind them in depth, so the finished book reads like you at your best, not like a ghostwriter. You approve every stage, and you own 100% of the rights.

The record
What this proves →Nothing here yet, and nothing on any profile yet. This site is new. A record appears when a whole book has been written and paid for through it, so the first ones are months away.
Selected credits
Self-reportedProvided by the writer. Most ghostwriting is confidential, so we cannot confirm these and do not present them as fact.
Book One of a planned trilogy. Built from recorded interviews and the client's own written memories, covering three generations of women. Written in the client's voice, warm and reflective. Six chapters, published on Amazon.
Interview-led, full ghostwriting from structure to final manuscript.
Rewrote a draft into the author's own voice across ten chapters, expanded to about 40,000 words, and typeset it as a 6x9 print book.
Developmental edit of a personal transformation book built on the author's own three-part framework. Strengthened the book's structure so each part of the framework flowed logically into the next, and tightened chapters to keep the reader moving from insight to action. Delivered detailed editorial reviews with tracked changes and comments throughout the manuscript. Calibrated the edits to the author's coaching voice, so the book reads like a session with them rather than a generic self-help titl
Ghostwrote a full-length mystery novel from the client's initial idea to a finished manuscript. Developed the plot, clues, and twists, built the characters and setting, and structured the story chapter by chapter so the mystery holds until the final reveal. Worked closely with the client at each stage so the book matched their vision and voice. About 40,000 words, completed in 8 months.
