Executive ghostwriter and senior editor.

Kyle Smith, founder of KYZAKIS

A thoughtful partner for important writing

I’m an executive ghostwriter and senior editor, and the founder of Kyzakis. Based in Australia, I work with leaders and communications teams around the world.

You may have an article you have not had time to write, a report that needs a stronger argument, or a document that needs a fresh pair of eyes. I help turn your knowledge into writing that serves the reader and still sounds like you.

You work with me throughout. I ask questions, challenge unclear reasoning and explain my editorial choices, so you can see what has changed and why.

Experience that connects different perspectives

Over more than a decade, I’ve worked on material that needs to hold up to close reading: defence submissions, public guidance, financial website copy and global product content.

I’ve rewritten a major bank’s website and video scripts, led Australian English language quality for a global technology product, and contributed writing and editing to defence bids.

Engineering to evaluator

Tender responses that show how the solution meets the requirement.

Strategy to employee

Leadership messages that explain what a decision means at work.

Policy to public

Public guidance that tells people what applies and what to do.

Technology to user

Product copy that explains the function, benefit and limits.

Global product to local audience

Editing that makes global content sound natural in Australian English.

AI output to human judgement

Review that checks whether an answer is accurate, relevant and useful.

Thinking before drafting

An interview can reveal the point that pages of notes have missed. I listen for what you mean, ask for examples and test the argument before drafting. When I edit, I apply the same attention to what is on the page—and what is missing.

Working alongside your team

Bring me in for an article, a major tender, an editorial review or regular support. I can work directly with you or alongside your communications team. Scope, deadlines and review rounds are agreed before work starts.

I agree confidentiality requirements and ways to share sensitive material with you at the outset.
