I didn't set out to become a ghostwriter. I set out to understand why some stories stay with us, and others don't.

Over the years, that curiosity turned into a career spent inside other people's memories — sitting across from founders, entrepreneurs, and CEOs, and helping them find the shape of a life that, from the inside, rarely feels like it has one.

What I've learned, project after project, is that the writing is rarely the hard part. The hard part is working out what the book is actually about — which is why I build a full Narrative Architecture Document before a single chapter gets written.

I've written for million-subscriber YouTube channels, built complete memoirs from scratch, edited manuscripts back from the brink, and read enough founder stories to know exactly where most of them go wrong before the first draft even starts.

I’m Maximillian Phillips, a London-based Narrative Strategy Expert.

I believe stories are the bedrock of everything, from the history we teach across generations to the fantastical tales that adorn bookshelves across the world. When I build my relationships, personal and professional, stories are the beating heart of any connection I have.

I have years of experience writing stories, whether that’s mine or my client’s. Each new story I encounter is treated with care and confidentiality, as I use my innate and professionally honed listening skills to craft the most incredible stories that reflect the client’s vision.

My clients’ stories are why I am a ghostwriter; I love writing, both personally and professionally. This is why I only choose projects I am passionate about.

When I’m genuinely invested, the book is of higher quality. Every. Single. Time.

If you've built something extraordinary and you're ready to make sure it's remembered properly, that's where I come in.
