Hello, Sonya Jacobson from Australia. I just wanted to do a big shout out to The Urban Writers as I've been using them for about a year and a half now and they have written about 12 books for me in various genres and under various pen names. I love the way that I can just post a project, pick my writers, my editor, my designer, go through it. I'm on go through and see everything all live. Love the way it all works. And my friends cannot believe that I have written a really good book. So yeah, so if you haven't used The Urban Writers, give them a go.

Do you know why I love Urban Writers? Because I am sitting here watching some Netflix while my book is being written. I used the package where I had an editor, formatter, writer, and cover design. Absolutely fabulous. Great to work with. Great communication. The platform is awesome. Two thumbs up. Although you can't see my other thumb. Just trust me. Two thumbs up. Thank you.

Hi everyone, my name is Dan and I just wanted to go ahead and make this quick video here for you for anyone who is Feeling stuck and can't decide which ghostwriting company to go with I just wanted to put your mind at ease and let you know about my experience that I've had so far with The Urban Writers For me, it's pretty much a no-brainer. I mean everybody in the company has been extremely professional very helpful I know they're there, you know kind of as a backup So you had that sense of security as well rather than going to hire a freelance ghostwriter The writer that I've been able to find is absolutely wonderful And I love this newer feature where The Urban Writers actually lets you go through profiles of ghostwriters to let you try and choose who you want to work with as opposed to just Being put with whoever they feel may be a best fit So I just wanted to share my experience and let you know that everything has gone smoothly so far Again, the writer is awesome. I'm loving the manuscript. She's coming up with and I would just highly recommend Using The Urban Writers if you are trying to get a book ghost written Don't even worry about going anywhere else save the trouble.

Hey, what's up guys? My name is Trevor and I'm coming to you from Vancouver Island I just want to give a shout out to The Urban Writers. I Mentioned my location and you might think well, why does that matter? Well, I mean, it doesn't really matter But I'm moving all the time. I get a lot of opportunities to travel around the world Asia I'll be heading to Europe and The reason I can do this is because of self-publishing I do six figures a year hoping to increase that to seven here and A big piece of that puzzle is the quality of the writing So I know The Urban Writers offers a lot of different writing services, but I use them specifically for ghost written books That I later turn into audiobooks and stuff like that. So For me when it comes to these freelancing websites, I'm always at risk of getting low quality Copyright issues are overpaying because it's difficult to vet a writer when you can't see them face-to-face But with their own writers, I can give them my outline of roughly what I'm after and then just like clockwork They send it back, you know with a complete book of what I needed. It's always high quality. So I Can't recommend their writers enough if you need any kind of content But especially if you're looking to get into the self-publishing game go check them out. Thanks

I have been using and working with Urban Writers for a little over a year now. I've tried other companies for my ghost writing and editor needs, and they've been okay, but I haven't been overly satisfied with them. And then I have tried Urban, and I have been blown away by my options with them, as well as their support staff. It can be a one-stop shop if you want it to be, starting with your outline all the way through to your formatting, your book cover, everything that you want it to be. I have been overly impressed with their writers. I love their tier system. I can pick a writer based on my price points if I need to. I typically use the top or the premium tiers, and I have been impressed with, again, how their program is laid out. I can search for my own writer and talk to them and chat with them. And then when I pick them, I have constant access to my project and an admin helping with that project. So it's really great to be able to talk to the writer, and if I have concerns or questions on the support side of things, I have an admin directly in my project also that I can ask questions to them, too. So I really love that. And then I've worked with editors, too, on my projects, too, and I've really enjoyed their quality of editing. And again, I get to pick that editor. So I just feel like I have a little bit more hands-on approach, which I really love when I'm working on a project. One of the other things I really love about them is their tutorials. When you first sign up and get a package with them, they send you an email for your purchase and also has a great tutorial videos showing you how to use their platform best, which is really great because you're learning a new system and you want to use their platform to the best of their ability. So I have used them. I will continue to use them. I'm excited to use them. I have now been working with the same writer on there because I found them that I loved and I'm able to continue working with her and building your relationship. So I just love their variety of options that they give me, and I'm excited to continue working with them and growing my publishing business with them.
