A Note On Ownership

Everything on this page — the essays, the characters, the books — is original work created and owned by Ink Without Footprints. Unlike our client projects, where the story and byline always belong to the author we’re writing for, these are ours.

Testimonials

I didn't think a ghostwriting team could nail banter — that felt like the one thing that had to come from me. I was wrong. My leads/characters sound exactly like I hear them in my head, chemistry was lit.

"Author, Contemporary Romance 2020"

My story just got better, and I know these guys will nail it.

"IRIS."

I came to IWF with two characters and a vague ache of a premise. What I got back was a fully realized love story with the exact slow-burn tension I couldn't articulate but always wanted.
