The Role
You'll work directly with private clients turning their most meaningful life experiences, or the expertise they've spent a career building, into well written books.
Interview a client, capture their voice, deliver a manuscript that meets publishing-house standards, whilst handling sensitive material with care.
Collaborate with a Development Editor whose credits include New York Times and Sunday Times bestsellers, backed by a wider support team (Project Manager, Content Strategist, Designer).

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For
- At least one traditionally published book under your name: memoir or ghostwritten title - not self-published with no distribution, sales, or critical record.
- A verifiable mark of literary recognition: a recognised bestseller list placement, shortlisting or winning a major literary award, a named ghostwriting credit on a book that achieved the former on behalf of the credited author.
- Direct experience ghostwriting for private clients: interviewing a client, capturing their voice, and delivering a finished manuscript on their behalf - not solely journalism, corporate copywriting, or academic writing.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Why Join
- Project-based rate, agreed per book based on scope.
- Client pipeline already built; you don't source these projects yourself.
- A named seat in the PRO tier of the category's market leader.
If you're intrigued, we would love to hear from you!
