    Frequently asked questions

    What does a ghostwriter for founders and CEOs actually do?

    I turn what's already in your head into writing that sounds like you on a good day. We talk, I listen for how you think and speak, and I write LinkedIn posts, articles, speeches or press pieces that go out under your name. You always have the final say.

    Is your writing really human-written?

    Yes. Everything I deliver is written by me. I don't use AI to generate client content, partly for quality and voice, and partly because many clients share confidential material with me.

    Who do you usually work with?

    Mostly startup founders, CEOs and senior leaders, plus universities and business schools in the US and Europe. I'm based in Stockholm, I work in English, and my clients are global.

    How much does a ghostwriter cost?

    My fixed-price packages start at 6,900 SEK for a LinkedIn Voice Audit. A four-week LinkedIn Sprint is 14,900 SEK, and monthly ghostwriting retainers start from EUR 3,500. All prices exclude VAT.

    How do you capture my voice?

    We start with an interview, and I write a short voice and themes brief that we agree together. After that, a regular call keeps the writing close to what you actually think. Most clients tell me the posts sound like them within the first few weeks.

    Will anyone know you wrote it?

    Not from me. Confidentiality is central to how I work, and I never name clients without their permission. I sign NDAs as a matter of course.

    Can you help me get press coverage or podcast bookings?

    Yes. The Podcast & Media Pitch Kit gives you a pitch, a bio and a shortlist of outlets that fit, and retainers can include media relations. I'm honest that top-tier coverage is the upside, never the promise.

    What's your background?

    I have nearly 20 years' experience in communications, and I'm a former government press officer. I've worked in the No 10 press office and the Cabinet Office, ran global social media at Maersk, led PR and external communications at SimCorp, and was Chief Communications Officer and Head of Marketing at Handiscover. I set up Ehwaz & Othala Media in 2022. I've been featured in COTE Magazine and CXO Magazine.

    How quickly can we start?

    Usually within a week or two. The Voice Audit and Media Pitch Kit are delivered within five working days of our first call.

    Shall we have a quick chat?

    30 minutes, free, and no pressure either way.
