You Are Not Just Writing a Book. You Are Stepping Into Your Voice.
The ones who write children’s books that affirm identity.
The wives who share stories of restoration.
The men who document the journey that shaped them.
They are not hobbyists.
They are becoming authors with authority.
They are creating strong legacies.
This is where your story becomes strategy.
Right now, your story lives in:
• Voice notes
• Journal entries
• Half-written drafts
• “One day” conversations
You know it matters. But without structure, it stays personal instead of powerful.
And without positioning, it stays published, but not profitable.
You don’t need more inspiration.
You need development.
Too many accomplished professionals leave their most
powerful chapters unwritten.
Imagine this instead:
Your book is published.
Your message is clear.
You’re invited to speak.
Your story is helping the very people you once were.
Your brand is aligned with your testimony.
That is the shift!
From private experience to public authority.
This matters because if we don't take control of our narrative, someone else will.
At The Write CEO, we work with professionals who understand that legacy is intentional. Your story isn’t just inspiration, it’s documentation. It’s history. It’s the ownership of what will be said about you long after the headlines fade.
Through strategic author development, manuscript coaching, publishing guidance, and brand positioning, we ensure your story is not only written but positioned, published, and preserved with authority.
No diluted narratives.
No half-told stories.
No waiting for permission.
Just your truth, professionally written, strategically positioned, and permanently cemented in history.
"It is our mission to help bold voices become extraordinary authors."

Our
Story
Get to Know Us
The Write CEO exists to help professionals turn their lived experiences into books, platforms, and lasting influence.
We guide leaders, authors, and storytellers to publish with clarity, authority, and purpose, ensuring their stories are preserved for generations.
Our Founder
Angela Bates
After years of leadership in corporate America, Angela, also known as Angie, helped her father bring his story to life. The first time her parents held his memoir, their legacy in their hands, she knew she had to return to one of her first loves: writing.
Within a year of self-publishing her father's memoir, she became a celebrity ghostwriter for film and television actors, Hollywood executives, political figures, and even served as communications director for an African presidential candidate during a tense election. To date, she has ghostwritten 11 Amazon bestsellers and 4 New York Times bestsellers.
She is also a recipient of the 2022 Phenomenal Woman Global award, which was presented to her by the American Caribbean Chamber of Commerce and Texas State Representative Ron Reynolds.
Today, Angie is passionate about legacy storytelling and created The Write CEO's author development program to ensure that our voices are preserved in history, in our own words.
