The most powerful tool you have is your story.
At sparrow·stories, we ghostwrite books for nonprofit leaders, helping them share the inspiring stories of their powerful work so they can do more good.
Inspire understanding. Foster compassion. Spark justice.
The Problem
Nonprofit leaders have profound stories and expertise. By capturing their wisdom in a book, nonprofits could gain a lasting tool to widen their reach and strengthen their impact.
But too often, their stories go untold because of a variety of barriers.
1
Time
Writing a book takes considerable time—a resource in short supply for leaders busy serving people and raising funds.
2
Skill
Nonprofit leaders are experts in leading their mission—not in writing books or navigating the publishing world.
3
Access
Quality publishing requires either a big platform or a big budget. Most nonprofit leaders have neither.
The result?
Wisdom stays local. Impact is harder to scale. And stories with the power to spark compassion and change never have the chance to influence the wider world.
We’re here to help nonprofit leaders bring their books to life.
