Executive Speechwriting & Institutional Ghostwriting

Service FAQs
Does Dolly write speeches in both Arabic and English?
Yes. Formal Arabic and International Business English — both written to native-level fluency, with sensitivity to dialect, register, and cultural context. Bilingual speeches for the same event (e.g., Arabic opening, English keynote) are a specialty.
How long does a keynote speech take to produce?
Allow 5–7 business days for a standard keynote. Rush delivery (48 hours) is available for urgent requirements. Complex speeches with extensive research or multiple drafts may extend the timeline.
Is the ghostwriting arrangement confidential?
Absolutely. All speechwriting engagements are governed by strict NDAs. The speech belongs to the speaker — Dolly's involvement is never disclosed unless the client chooses to acknowledge it.
Can you work with our existing communications team?
Yes. Dolly often works as an extension of in-house corporate communications teams — providing specialist writing capacity for high-stakes moments while integrating with existing messaging frameworks and approval processes.
