A ghostwriter is someone who works behind the scenes to write,
rewrite, or research on behalf of another person. You may have a
great idea for a book or eBook, but you don't have the time or skills needed
to complete the project. We will use your notes or rough draft,
conduct an author
interview or transcribe your audio files to
write your book or article for you, yet your name will appear on the
cover.
You are incredible! I am really enjoying working with you, and I am constantly and consistently amazed by your talents.
Yvonne, you are a genius! I will have to write another book after this just to be able to work with you
again!
Thank you so much,
Carl David, Author of

Prices for Ghostwriting Services:
We work at a rate of $50 per hour, which may sound like a lot of money. However, we get a lot done in an hour and we keep a log of our time and only charge for the time actually spent on your project.
Naturally, the more work an author does, the less time it takes us to complete the book.
When an author does nothing more than give us an idea and collaborate as the book develops, it may take us an hour to complete the interviews,
research, transcribing, writing, and editing needed for a 250-word page. Thus, a 60,000 word-book, when the author does little writing would run
approximately $12,000. Still, that’s only $0.20 per word.
If an author comes to us with a detailed outline, a completed rough draft,
has written part of the book, or has completed necessary research,
it will take us considerably less time to complete the manuscript (depending upon how well the text is written)
than a totally ghostwritten book.
If you have already written your book, you may only need the services of an
editor or proofreader. You may
want to get a market evaluation of your book
to see if your manuscript is ready for publishing.
Industry Averages:
- There are approximately 250 words per page in the standard 6” x 9” layout depending upon how many graphics, photos, sidebars, and other page elements are added.
- The average page count in a non-fiction book is 62,500. Novels may be 85,000 words or more.
Because we know the book industry and publishing process, we can
ghostwrite or edit a manuscript that is ready for querying a conventional
publisher. Our writers can even help you write a query letter or book
proposal for a literary agent or publisher. We can also lay out your
manuscript as a self-published book or e-book.

choose, perhaps on your Web site or blog. We will submit the article
to five online article directories (listed below).
