Skinny Book Co

At Skinny Book Co, we believe your story deserves to be told without the unnecessary pages that put readers to sleep by guiding you through a process of book ghostwriting for entrepreneurs that is actually enjoyable.

Most business books are 80% fluff and 20% value. Instead, we cut out the fluff to make a book that is 100% value.

Our ghostwriting, publishing, and marketing Skinny Books™ forces you to refine your processes and messaging to improve your business and give readers focused & valuable content.

Our Story

Skinny Book Co was born from frustration and breakthrough. Dan Heuertz, a serial entrepreneur, spent years trying to write a book about his experiences. Finally, he even hired a ghostwriter, but nothing clicked. The manuscripts sat unfinished, gathering digital dust.

Then his son Ben stepped in with a revolutionary approach of book ghostwriting. Instead of following the traditional publishing playbook that demands 200+ page volumes, Ben helped Dan distill his story into what became "Noisy Head" – a powerful framework for regaining clarity and confidence after business setbacks and the chaos of the COVID pandemic.

The result? A book that actually gets read. A book that creates real impact.

That father-son breakthrough became our mission. For the past year, Dan and Ben have been helping other entrepreneurs and business leaders cut through the noise and capture their authentic voices and stories.
