Speechwriter & Executive Ghostwriter
Write the words leaders say and sign
Behind most strong speeches, op-eds and CEO posts is a writer who is not the speaker. It is a discreet, high-trust, high-value niche that rewards exactly your skills: argument, story, rhythm, and the ear to write in someone else's voice. Rhetoric is a craft you can study and own.

PoliticsThe gap
Rhetorical craft for the spoken word and for opinion writing, ghostwriting discipline (subordinating your voice to theirs), and the trusted-adviser relationship that wins this work. A point of view on the issues your clients speak about.
How to get there
- Study the form: classic rhetoric, great speeches, and the modern executive op-ed and LinkedIn voice.
- Ghostwrite for one leader you know (a CEO, a founder, a politician) and build a quiet portfolio.
- Practise writing the same argument in three different people's voices.
Your first move
Offer to draft the next talk or opinion piece for a leader in your orbit.
In Stockholm
Demand sits with executives, founders, politicians and public figures across Stockholm, usually found through trust and referral rather than ads. Often paired with broader comms-advisory work.
