Authors speak to our strengths
Dr. Jean-Paul Brutus
hand surgeon and author of two books, Secrets and Lies from the Operating Room and Elevating Your Patient Experience
“Stanley is a pleasure to work with, and I could not recommend his services more to an author in need of help or to save tons of time! Stanley is five star all the way!”
JEFFREY KIPLINGER
founder and author of the forthcoming book, Expert to Entrepreneur: How to Turn Your Hard-won Expertise into a Thriving Business
“Stanley reached out to me on social media at just the right moment, as my book was in development and I was frustrated with the editing process. I had lost perspective and my publisher wasn’t too helpful. I hired him based on emotion, but the end product was a careful and rational way forward to a successful book. I’m very pleased and would work with him again—earlier in the development process next time!”
Ghostwriting client
TEDx speaker and lifestyle business coach for high-achieving women
“I understand now, why I couldn’t do this by myself. You bring out the best in me.”
Melissa Galt
business coach, interior designer, and author of Affluent Clients: Building a Multiple Six-Figure Creative Professional Business
“Stanley stepped in and took great care of my project and made me look and sound ever better. He is easy to work with and that’s a great thing. He also stepped in with my team, when it was necessary, to coordinate communication and fine details. I’m very grateful and look forward to working with him again in the future.”

More about the Grounded Writer
-
Of the few meanings of the word grounded, The Grounded Writer refers to a well-balanced and sensible writer, someone who is in integrity and is aligned with their purpose. They feel the call to share their perspective, their legacy, their framework, their methodology, partly to build their business, mostly to instigate positive change in their world. They are on a mission, and so are we.
-
Stanley Dankoski created The Grounded Writer and its philosophy and has since partnered with ghostwriters, coaches, editors, designers, marketers, and others to offer a more complete package, which is appealing to many who wish to author a business book.
We believe in what they do and how they do it, even if they don’t articulate their process in the same way.
-
Ideal clients for The Grounded Writer are founders, business coaches, speakers, and others who want to elevate their authority, business, or credibility and know they can do so with a transformational business book.
We do occasionally take on book projects outside of that niche, so if you feel pulled to contact us, please do, and we’ll see if there’s a good fit.
-
We offer a variety of services that each range from high five figures to low four figures. Ghostwriting and book consulting lean toward the higher end while jumpstarts and other coaching lean toward the lower end.
In short, we customize our offers based on what you need to fulfill on your vision and goals for both you and your business.
