ghost writer book services

We are a ghost writer book service which does most or all of your work and your writing for you. If you want to write a book manuscript or a script for television or a movie, you may hire a ghost writer through us, and we will help you create it. We only need your good original ideas and guidance regarding your project, and in the case of a book manuscript we may also assist you in getting it published, if it looks technically feasible to do so. In most cases, we simply refer you to some of the better self publishing agencies.

We do ghost writing for a fee and we don't have to take any of the credit or copyrights for your own original ideas. They can all be assigned to you, along with the original ideas and writings of your ghost writer. That's why we're your friendly neighborhood "ghosts." We charge upfront and/or "on spec" to write or rewrite your work, and we don't have to take any of the credit away from you - not even for your writer's own original work.

It's as if you hired a mechanic for your car instead of doing the work. It's still your car and is solely your personal property, and we are only performing a service for you. This stands unless you tell us otherwise, as in the case of sharing coauthor status. We usually can't share "status" in lieu of pay, however, except in the case of a broadly selling property, where we then also ask for a percentage of the work's profits. Every freelance writer and every ghost writer has to at least make a living wage - but we do "charge less"!

As book ghost writers, we are performing a "work for hire" job under federal copyrights statutes, and we help people who either don't have time to write or who don't have proper writing or editing skills to prepare their work for today's markets. And we often help people write the memoirs of their lifetimes, which can be enlightening, memorable and interesting. We are honored to help "newbies" or first time writers, and are glad to help you with your personal book projects, be they great or small ones.

Our typical rates for ghost writing your fiction or non-fiction book range from $5-15 USD per page for less than 200 pages, or $5,000-10,000 USD (most often, only $5,000 USD) to ghost write a 200-400 page double-spaced, 12-pt Times New Roman font, 1" all-around margins book manuscript. As you can tell, we also properly format your standard book manuscript for professional submission to modern literary agents and publishers. We charge more for longer ghost writer books, "heavy" ghost writing such as thoroughly researched academic writing, or any ghost writer job which requires an unusual amount of time, research, preparation and/or legwork.

In some cases, we charge only $2000 USD upfront, if you have written out your entire book and only need us to copy edit/light rewrite it, and we will also fully proof read it for no additional charge. We charge slightly more for doing any additional needed ghost writer research or heavy rewriting. You may check with us about this. Also, we will consider a charge of $2000-4000 USD for each one of a series of ghost written books by you, if you have more than one book in the works. You would have to agree that we would help you write each book in the series, and sign a long-term contract with us and your ghost writer to arrange this potentially lower price per book in a related series.

In regards to all of the above: we seldom work without using our formal ghost writer three-party contract system. We will sign a contract with you stipulating all the methods of time payments, scheduling, maintaining our relationships and other such factors. You may read over our contract in advance, and have a legal expert read it over for you, too. We typically charge much less than other agencies to be ghost writers for book manuscripts, either fiction or non-fiction, as long as you're willing to make all ghost writer payments upfront while we are doing the job. But if the job involved is very small, such as one costing less than $500 total, we may work without using it, although in most cases our ghost writers will require use of some type of formal signed and dated contract.

Some of our ghost writers charge more, and some of our ghost writers charge less. We take installment payments over time, and the format can be as long as you need. If you can only make several $500 payments over a year's time, we can arrange that. Each ghost writer payment will still need to be made in advance of a portion of the work being prepared. Also, sometimes your work turns out to need copy editing, not ghost writing, for which we charge much less. If you have already written out a partial or complete manuscript or screenplay, please see the section directly below this one. We also perform thorough proof reading on every ghost writing job.

And please remember: under U.S. Copyrights Office laws, you retain all rights to the original material in your work and the original ghost writer work we perform for you as contracted, no matter how much ghost writing, editing, research, rewriting or other work your ghost writer does. This is unless you arrange to share credit or author status with us, which is never required - and which will always be agreed upon in advance between you and us.

As stated above, we will also sign a non-disclosure policy clause contract with you, in cases where you or we feel it's necessary, and it will contain agreed-upon clauses about our responsibilities, your copyrights and ours, time frames and payment formats, and other such legal written language that ensures the sanctity of your work. It's best in most cases to sign a contract, especially in the case of "on spec" work, but we can discuss this with you in greater detail. We prefer having a legally signed document in most cases.

We will also make arrangements, for a small fee, to help you get your ghost written and/or copy edited work published, sold or otherwise into a public venue. We make no guarantee that your ghosted work will be published or sold, but we guarantee that you get to keep your work and own full or partial rights to it as agreed between us. You don't "sign away" your rights with us; we work everything out in advance, with your permission. And it's usually the author's own idea whether or not to share the credit. It's up to you and your particular ghost writer to decide how you want to handle that issue.

Also, under some circumstances we can arrange for low or no fees for sharing your/our ideas, authorship and copyrights - as "on spec" material. We can share rights ownership with you, percentages of book or other property sales and coauthor/screen status to lower your initial costs for assembling your manuscript, movie script or other work. You should understand that we only do "on spec" work in the case of a project that we feel will sell widely and well to a very large audience.

Regarding books, we can take an advance from a book agent or publisher as our fee in certain cases, but this has to be done carefully, in order to avoid unscrupulous behavior on the part of certain people. We do NOT take work that is "farmed out" by such agencies on a regular basis to ghost writers, as this is not good business practice; we don't encourage it. And we also don't completely guarantee that you will be published, being honest ghost writer professionals, although we'll work very hard on helping you. If you keep at it, you will certainly be eventually commercially published, over time - if it takes weeks, months, or even one to three years. Nowadays, we recommend that you consider self publishing - what used to be called "vanity publishing" - as your work can be on the shelves in just ten weeks or so if you go that route. Many terrific books nowadays are being self published and self promoted by their authors!

Our section on copy editing is directly below.

I AND MY TEAM HAVE:

copy editors

copy editor book services

These are copy editor services where we do all of your editing for you. If you need to edit a book manuscript or a script for television or a movie, you can hire a copy editor through us; we will help you edit and possibly rewrite it. We do this for a fee and we don't have to take any of the credit or copyrights for your idea. They can be assigned completely to you. That's why we're your friendly neighborhood "editors."

We scan and make corrections to grammatical and syntax errors, possibly revising what you wrote to suit your potential readership and to increase your chances for commercial publication. We do this by making your work read and flow more smoothly and efficiently, and sometimes by "jazzing it up" and making it more spicy, profound or thought-provoking. We may also perform a thorough analysis of your work, pointing out errors and making suggestions; this may result in more thorough content editing.

Our rates depend on how much actual writing or rewriting we have to perform on your work, and the nature and scope of the work involved. But we typically charge $5 USD per page for less than 200 pages, or $2,000-3,000 USD for light to heavy copy editing, thorough proof reading and sequential fact checking of a 200-400 page double-spaced, 12-pt Times New Roman font, 1" all-around margins book manuscript. If your work require substantial content editing, rewriting, or is harder or more academic or topic specific, we will charge somewhat more; also, different writers on our team may charge different amounts.

We do our best to help you create the greatest possible literature or public enlightenment out of your work, vastly improving its potential for sales by making it both marketable and saleable. Or we can do something as simple as merely proof reading your work for errors and carefully adjusting them. Just write us and ask about this, being detailed in your questions as needed.

Our sections on proof reading, freelance writing, copy writing, rewriting and screenplay film script writing, editing, analysis and coverage can be found directly below.

WE ALSO HAVE:

proof readers

proof reader book services

We can write, rewrite and edit documents and create, edit or update copy on websites. You can hire a proof reader, a rewriter, a book author, a freelance writer, a copy writer or almost any kind of writer or accompanying graphics artist through us. We can proof your writing and give you spotless copy. We can perform a major rewrite or simply correct mistakes and other typical errors of reasoning. We have a pool of talented professionals with several years of experience and great command of the English language.

Our rates for proof reader services vary from $2-5 USD per manuscript page for less than 200 pages, or $1,000-2,000 USD for a 200-400 page manuscript as outlined above, depending on the nature and overall amount of the work involved.

Other specialty writing services:

Freelance writing services can run $5-25 USD per page for less than 200 pages and about the same amount for more pages, but we charge a discount for a greater amount of pages and for less work actually involved in the project. Ask us about our pricing - just use our email.

Rewriting and copy writing services rates depend on the type of work involved and how much time and effort it will take. Sometimes writing is a blend of the styles mentioned above. We will simply charge you to work within your budgetary needs, as long as we are making a "living wage" as writers. We can also charge per word count - or even amount of time taken to complete the job.

Our email links can be found above and below. We will do our best to answer all your questions and concerns, and will take the time to work closely with you by exchanging emails and phone calls, reading over written or taped materials, and/or doing one to several personal interviews.

REGARDING MOVIE SCRIPTS AND SCREENPLAYS:

SCRIPT WRITERS AND SCREENPLAY COVERAGE

We now offer both non-union and union screenplay writers and writing services. Some of our writers work on spec, or for a percentage of profits, in the case of likely production of the related film, movie, TV show or video presentation. Some of our writers only take upfront scheduled pay. We offer only the finest award-winning screenplay writers and film script writing in the industry, including those who have had scripts optioned or produced and who have won industry awards. We can help you put out both your book and your movie, and we can even read over your script or screenplay and provide professional advice - please see below for this service.

As to pricing, it varies according to your screenwriter or scriptwriter. We go by both union and non-union pricing, and it really is an individual thing, depending on your own needs and those of your writer, too. We have high-end screenwriters and also those willing to work with you price-wise. But unless you have a script that's likely to go into production or somebody industry who is very interested, please don't expect any "on spec" work from us. Your "million dollar baby" has to be real and you need to have contacts in the industry, or otherwise give us a valid argument that your property is going to go into production somehow. We do have some industry contacts, currently Black River Media, MVP Productions and Lyons Entertainment, to name a few such film production and promotion companies.

Also, we offer a script coverage service, where we help authors cultivate their screenplay and film, movie, TV and video script writing skills. We will review your screenplay from an expert script writer's point of view. You will receive extensive detailed notes about your working story, the premise, major plots and minor subplots, characterization and development, dialogue, the overall structure, the formatting and the actual real-life production value of your screenplay or script. We offer this service for $150 USD for an up-to-150-page formatted script, and will review a basic treatment for only $50 USD. For shorter TV script submission coverage, we charge $50 USD for scripts of up to 30 pages and $75 USD for scripts of 30 to 60 pages. We will help you recreate and submit your screenplay to agents and producers by reviewing it carefully for mistakes, professionalism and any other issues needing consideration.

GHOST WRITER - SERVICE PAYMENTS - MADE IN ADVANCE

You pay us in installments over graduated time. We require payment in advance of each installment. We also take pay by the hour if needed for some projects.

You sign a contract with us as needed, and/or pay in advance for a smaller, less formal job. But we usually prefer working with a formal contract.

Ghost Writer Books - We're your Friendly Neighborhood Ghost Writers!

NOTE: We have quit our DIRECT publishing assistance help, except in the cases of already established clients and select new especially promising (in the realm of book sales) clients. From now on, we will refer most of our clients to quality self publishing agencies and non self publishers that charge fees; regarding "broad sales" properties, we will still prepare selling, thorough, expert book proposals on a case-by-case basis. We also may assist you with screenplay readings and sales.

Ghost Writer Clients who use our Ghost Writing Service:

Ghost Writer: Book Writing Services

By Karen L Cole

If you want to become a ghost writer, chances are that you think selling yourself short will cause you a lack of success in the book ghost writer field. And your eyes are probably dancing with the large sums of money that you've heard a ghost writer pulls down, in yearly figures such as $60,000 to $100,000, or amounts such as $15,000 to $60,000 per book. You're a writer, you love to write, and you believe that this is the way to go when it comes to writing. This is especially so when you've started breaking into the field. You're a ghost writer or ghostwriter who has never written a book for someone else before. You're thinking big bucks, major book contracts, large amounts of cash advances and other star-shaped daydreams concerning agents, publishers, big advances and huge percentages. You figure you could get these from the ghost writer books you will be writing for big-time authors, as you enter the ranks of "famous" or perhaps far more anonymous professional ghost writers.

But let's face some facts. First time authors are often people with no real money or skills to invest in ghost writing a book. They may have fantastic stories to tell, but they don't have the enormous amount of financial capital available to hire any such expensive ghost writers. They're bound to enter some psychological difficulties when they see that the payments a ghost writer are the whopper figures such as those listed above, and that those are the only sorts of prices accessible to them. By laying out such enormous fees, you could be stuck losing a huge customer base of ghost writing clients with fantastic stories to tell -- but without the major wherewithal to pay you to tell them. What if your potential author, the person hiring you to write his or her story, has only $2,000 to $5,000 or so to spend on a good, professional ghost writer, for solid, sophisticated and marketable ghost writing?

I know what I'm talking about, and can create a decent, well-written work of freelance ghost writing in two months for that amount of money. You can simply take on some smaller projects during that time frame, and then you can make a reasonable amount of money, enough to keep your business going. It really isn't all that hard. Most other ghost writers I know are only as capable I am, but they do charge those higher amounts. The clients of the high-end ghost writers tend to be people with enormous sales potential, not the typical first time authors who have a great story but often don't really go anywhere with it - the so called "sucker market."

It might be worthwhile to consider charging less to be a ghost writer for them, or negotiating a low-cost deal with these “first timers.” Over the years, I have drawn the conclusion that there are an awful lot of such people out there. I have been ghost writing books for people for as low an amount as $2000 per book, when I was also getting a percentage of book sales, and as I have sources of income from other types of writing, I have been finding an immense amount of personal satisfaction from helping such would be authors actually obtain what they are looking for in an affordable, inexpensive, low-cost ghost writer who charges a reasonable price for the quality and quantity of work done for them.

I simply ask for installment payments, usually made in advance, and sometimes I also ask for a percentage of book sales. In the case of a book that I don't think is headed for very broad sales, or that simply doesn't have a substantial market for sales, I generally don't ask for a percentage - and I charge the full amount of $5000 in advance. This, however, can be negotiated on the basis of whether I'm really ghost writing the book, or only rewriting and/or copy editing it as a ghost writer - called an assisting "editor" or simply a ghost editor.

This works out to be less “greedy” on my part and more of a ghost writer service that I provide for authors who are simply yearning to get their books up high on the top of the New York Times Bestseller lists, and who know that such are their dreams, not necessarily their realities. These are often people who have reached the ends of their ropes when it comes to negotiating a lower price for their books. They usually have nowhere else to turn when it comes to putting out their own personal stories, and they need a ghost writer with a willing ear and pen to listen and help them set down their tales before it’s too late for them to be told. And there is still hope for these people to even hit the big time, if they have the right types of stories to tell - told to the right ghost writer!

Also, some of these authors simply don’t know what they’re doing and need a guiding ghost writer's hand to help them. They need their letters of query written up for them, their brief writer's bios put together, and their full selling 40-50 page book proposals prepared for them, as they are dipping their toes into the ghost writing field and getting them wet for the first time. A lot of them think they are going to get their ghost writer book written and then they will get some kind of immediate major advance, straight from an established commercial book publisher.

It just isn't like that 90% of the time! An advance comes after a deal has been negotiated with a reputable literary agent, bids by publishers for the book have been scrutinized, and contracts have been duly negotiated, approved and signed. It helps in a major way to have the completed ghost writer book in hand, sometimes even having it self published first, to get anywhere near a commercial publisher. This can be a very expensive process for a first-time, would-be ghost writer book author.

People like that don’t need to face down what looks like to them to be a million dollar price tag when they are looking for what’s described as a "cheap ghost writer." They want an actual inexpensive ghost writer and/or editor who understands their needs, both budgetary and otherwise, who can sit down with them and negotiate a fairly low amount of money paid out by them so they can figure on at least getting some return from their books. These people are not Presidents of the United States or famous movie actors, whose ghost writer books are guaranteed to sell, and many of them find themselves “stuck” with what used to be called vanity publishing, nowadays called self publishing. They won’t necessarily find a commercial publisher who wants to take a chance on huge returns from their ghost writer books in today’s multifaceted but still challenging world of publishing.

These clients need literally "cheap" or inexpensive ghost writers. They don’t need to spend a small fortune on their books to find out they all dead ended in a warehouse, didn’t sell as widely as they thought they would, or they otherwise came out on the short end of the stick. They need to carefully invest their time and effort on a decent, expert professional freelance ghost writer. And they could use some material publishing help to get their ghost writer books "out there" -- properly displayed and promoted in today's modern Internet book market.

Help them. Consider bargaining and bartering at a lower price sometimes, and not at a higher price. It might be worth your while. Try it and see - this will only make you a far better ghost writer for authors!

What Does a Ghost Writer Charge?

By Alicia Nicole Dunams

Since many business owners are too busy to write their own book, they want to explore the opportunity of working with a professional ghost writer. As a business book writing coach and project manager, it's part of my job to interview ghost writers and find the best writer for the job. But before I even move to that stage, one of the first questions my client asks is, What does a ghost writer charge?

Unfortunately, there's no one answer to that question: writers' fees are all over the map, and there are no fixed industry standards. A preliminary Google search turns up fees anywhere from $10,000 to $75,000 for an average-length book (300 printed pages or 60,000 words). Yet online job sites show ghost writers accepting work for as low as $800 a book. Some employers offer even less; just today I saw a job paying $2.00 per 500-word article. Two dollars!

As an independent contractor, a ghost writer has to pay taxes, maintain equipment, and pay a finder's fee to a job site or agency. Even at $3000 a book, a ghost writer is working for less than minimum wage. Who'd work for less than minimum wage? Believe it or not, young ghost writers just starting out are so gung-ho, they frequently do, which is unfortunate for the more experienced ghost writers. It's common sense that a fledgling ghost writer isn't as skilled as one with a number of published books under his or her belt and 20 or 30 years of experience - and I don't only mean experience with writing. A person who's been around the block a few times is familiar with a wide variety of subjects, and probably has at least some passing knowledge of your field of business. You do get what you pay for in this world!

With so many ghost writers working freelance, it can be confusing to decide who to hire, especially sight unseen. Ideally, you'll want to at least see some previous work to find out if you like someone's ghost writing. A legitimate ghost writer is glad to provide samples, and on sites like Guru.com or Elance.com you can access them before you even contact the ghost writer. These sites also post feedback on the ghost writer's performance from previous employers. Here you might even get an idea of the kind of pay the ghost writer is accustomed to - frequently less than what she or he initially asks for. This doesn't mean you should low-ball them. Hidden resentment from an underpaid ghost writer can lead to conflict during the work process. On the other hand, a happy ghost writer is a good ghost writer, so paying well is in your best interest. Which brings us to:

FAQs: How much does it cost to ghost write a book? The fee for a 200-300 page manuscript to be completed in 3-6 months starts at around $10,000 and goes up to $20,000-plus. The more you provide in the way of extensive notes, outline or rough draft, the lower the cost. Other variables include timeline, length and publishing assistance. If the ghost writer has to conduct research, for instance, the fee will be higher.

For subjects that require knowledge of specialized language, such as finance, law, or any other specialty, cost is normally higher: $25,000 - $40,000. If the client has a written draft, the price will be on the lower end; if more time is needed to produce a book based mainly on verbal communication, it will be higher.

What does the ghost writer's fee cover? The fee to ghost write your book covers all interview time between writer, client, and any other participants necessary to obtain the required information. It includes all research time, writing, editing, rewriting, and it can include finding an agent to represent you, or even finding a publisher. The ghost writer's fee does not include travel or lodging, although travel time is included.

How are fees paid to the ghost writer? Most ghost writers require an initial deposit of one-third the total to begin work, another third paid at the mid-point of the project, and the final third upon completion. Some ghost writers prefer monthly payments after an initial deposit at the start.

How long does it take to complete a book? A well-organized, average-length book usually takes from three to six months to complete. A faster turn-around may be possible, but can also raise the fee. If you have a draft of your book, or extensive notes and sketches, the work can go faster. If a lot of research is involved, then more time is needed.

Does a ghost writer use a contract? The ghost writer is an independent contractor who usually wants a signed contract with the first payment. The contract should include the working title of the book, amount and schedule of fees, copyright agreement, and confidentiality. Additionally, stipulations are usually included regarding termination of contract, arbitration in case of disagreement, and miscellaneous matters such as complimentary copies and deadlines for portions of the book, if any. If the ghost writer does not have her or his own contract, one can be obtained from a writers' organization like the National Writers Union or the Editorial Freelancer's Association.

Why Pay High Ghost Writer Fees?

By Alan Cheng

Hiring a ghost writer to help write quality material is a common task amongst business owners. Due to the lack of a standard price with ghost writers, business owners tend to shop around and hire a ghost writer who they think is the cheapest. But is this a smart thing to do? Can you really justify paying triple the price for a professional ghost writer?

Let's say, for example, you originally arranged to hire a professional freelance ghost writer for $600 to write a 20-page ebook, but then you hired another but cheaper such ghost writer for $200 to write the same ebook. What benefits would you have gotten if you stuck with the more expensive ghost writer and paid out the extra $400? Provided that the professional ghost writer actually was to deliver with real quality as promised, the ebook should be written in good English with no spelling or grammar mistakes. The information inside the ebook would be in-depth and correct, since the professional ghost writer would have done his proper research.

On the other hand, the cheaper ghost writer would also have delivered the ebook, but the style of ghost writing may not be very captivating or interesting, and the level of research would be very basic. Readers of the ebook written by a cheaper ghost writer may find that the content is far too simple, regarding that for which they paid. If both ebooks were priced at $29 and each sold 1,000 copies, the ebook written by the more expensive ghost writer (ebook A), may get a 3% refund. That's 30 copies refunded, which translates into $870 returned. Now, if the ebook written by the cheaper ghost writer (ebook B), gets a refund rate of 6%, that's 60 copies of the ebook refunded - which translates into $1,740. By saving $400 because you wanted to hire a cheaper ghost writer, you will have lost $870 in refunds with this scenario. However, there's more.

With the launch of your next $29 ebook, you can email and notify your existing customers. If customers from ebook A give you a 30% response, which translates into 300 customers, then you'll have profited $8,700 effortlessly. However, since the customers of ebook B were not completely overjoyed with your content, the response rate could be 20% - which is still good. This translates into 200 customers, which will give you a profit of $5,800. With the above scenario, ebook A earned you $2,900 more in profits. If we add the refunds, then ebook A will have earned you $3,860 more. The repeat sales is where it really hurts the business owner's pockets if they took the route of hiring the cheaper ghost writer - instead of the better, more experienced and more costly ghost writer. However, this is only a guess. There are other things which we need to factor in such as affiliates. If you sent a copy of your ebook for affiliates to review, the majority may want to promote it, due to the quality of information your ebook has. This part of the scenario is very hard to guess with figures.

With the scenarios above, you can now see the real effects of hiring a ghost writer to write an ebook. Paying for a cheaper ghost writer may save you money initially, but that's being very short-sighted. However, there are some very good ghost writers who charge cheaply for their services. They're probably just starting out in the job of being a professional ghost writer, and they all want to get testimonials. They are very, very hard to find. If you find one, don't let go of him - you will have found a quality ghost writer for a low cost!
