================================================================================ KISSMYSKILLS.COM Ghostwriting Client Discovery & Voice-Matching Prompts Claude Prompt — Instant Use ================================================================================ WHAT YOU JUST BOUGHT ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── This is the prompt professional ghostwriters wish they'd had on day one: a system for extracting a client's real voice before you write a single sentence for them. Most ghostwriting relationships fail quietly — not because the writing is bad, but because it sounds like a competent stranger wrote it. This prompt fixes that at the source, before drafting even starts. Paste it into Claude and you get a complete voice-capture system: a client discovery questionnaire built to surface how someone actually talks (not how they think they sound), a voice profile template that turns those answers into something you can reference on every single piece, a pre-send checklist to catch drift before the client does, sample openings in two tone calibrations so you lock in the right register early, and a starter content bank so you walk into the relationship with momentum instead of a blank page. Whether you're ghostwriting LinkedIn posts for a founder, a business book for an executive, or bylined articles for a subject-matter expert, the hardest and most valuable skill is not prose — it's disappearing into someone else's voice convincingly. This prompt makes that repeatable instead of a lucky guess. HOW TO USE IT (60 seconds) ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── 1.
