We
are a ghost writer service which does most or all of your writing for you. If you want to write a book manuscript or a script for television or a movie, you can hire a ghost writer through us, and we will help you create it. We only need your good ideas and guidance from you regarding your project, and in the case of a book manuscript, we will also assist you in getting it published. We do this for a fee - and we don't have to take any of the credit or copyrights for your ideas. They can all be assigned to you. 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.It's as if you hired a mechanic for your car instead of doing the work. It's still your car, and we performed 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. As 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 quite memorable and interesting.
Our typical rates for ghost writing range from $5-15 US per page for less than 100 pages, or $5,000-10,000 US - most often, only $5,000 - to be the ghost writer for a 200-400 page book manuscript. 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 payments upfront as we are doing the job. Some of our ghosts charge more, and some 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 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 it, please see the section directly below this one. We also perform thorough proof reading on every job.
And please remember: under U.S. Copyrights Office laws, you retain all of the rights to the original materials in your own work, no matter how much writing, editing, research, rewriting or other work we perform. 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. We will sign a non-disclosure 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.
We will also make arrangements, for a small fee, to help you get your work published, sold or otherwise into a public venue. We make no guarantee that your 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 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. 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 professionals, although we'll work very hard on helping you in this pursuit. If you keep at it, you will certainly be published, over time - if it takes weeks, months, or years.
We also have a "partial plan" where you pay a smaller fee in advance, plus a smaller percentage of the book's profits. Just write and ask us about it. We generally only do this if a book or other work is probably going to sell appreciably, or you have a publisher or other venue already lined up for it.
Our section on copy editing is directly below.

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, sometimes revising some of 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 can also perform a thorough analysis of your work, pointing out errors and making suggestions.
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 US per page for less than 100 pages, or $2,000-3,000 for general light to heavy copy editing, thorough proof reading and sequential fact checking of a 200-400 page book manuscript. If the work require substantial rewriting, or is harder or more academic or topic specific, we may charge 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 to us and ask us about this.

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 US per manuscript page for less than 100 pages, or $1,000-2,000 US for a 200-400 page manuscript, depending on the nature of the work involved.
Freelance writing services can run $5-25 US per page for less than 100 pages and about the same amount for more pages, but we charge a discount for a greater amount of pages. Ask us about our pricing.
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 several of the styles mentioned above. We can simply charge you to work within your budgetary needs, in most cases, 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 both 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.
You may pay us in installments over a graduated period of time. We usually require payment In Advance of each Installment. We can also take Pay by the Hour if needed for certain projects.

According to Mensa, the intellectual group, & everywhere else reputable that I've checked, I repeatedly score in the 90-95th percentile for intellect. The American College Aptitude Test ranked me in the 99th percentile for my English language skills. Because of similar Latin roots in English, I understand some French, Spanish and Italian, though I don't speak any of those languages fluently.
I could probably get by in Latin, but like William Shakespeare, it's all "pretty much Greek to me."

Ghost Writers: Cheap or Inexpensive Book Writers Offer You Professional Book Author, Freelance Writer and Ghost Writer Services
You might think that selling yourself short is a sure way to not be a success in the ghost writing field. And your eyes are probably dancing with the large sums of money that you’ve heard ghost writers pull down, in yearly figures such as $60,000 to $100,000, or amounts such as $15,000 to $60,000 per each book written. 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 to break into the field and you’re a ghost writer - or ghostwriter - who has never really ghosted or written a book for someone else before. You’re probably thinking big bucks, major book contracts, large amounts of cash advances from publishers and huge percentages from the books you will be anonymously writing for big time authors.
But let’s face some facts. First time authors are often people with no real money or skills to invest in 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 to you 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 clients with fantastic stories to tell -- but without the major wherewithal to pay you to tell them. What if, say, your potential author, the person hiring you to write his or her story, has only $5000 or less to spend?
I know what I’m talking about, and I can create a decent, well-written work of cheap ghost writing in a month or so for around that amount of money. You do that, and there’s your $60,000 per year! It really isn’t all that hard. You don't even have to charge as high as $5000, although it's inadvisable to charge less unless you are also getting a percentage of book sales, or you are mostly copy editing or copyediting the book.
Most other ghost writers I know are only as capable I am, but many of them do charge the 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, or negotiating a deal with such a “first timer.” 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 a "cheap 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 simply rewriting and/or copy editing it.
This works out to be less “greedy” on my part and more of a 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 someone 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.
Also, some of these authors simply don’t know what they’re doing and need a guiding hand to help them. They need their letters of query written up for them, their brief biographies put together, and their book proposals prepared for them, as they are dipping their toes into the writing field and getting them wet for the first time. A lot of them think they are going to get their book written and then get some kind of major advance, straight from a 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 signed. It helps in a major way to have the 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 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 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 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 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 ghost writer. And they could use some material publishing help to get their books "out there" -- properly displayed and promoted in today's modern Internet oriented 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!

By James HamiltonCopy Editors: What is the Difference Between Copy Editing and Proof Reading?
Copy editing and proof reading are closely related editorial skills, but there are some important differences between them. Allow me to explain...
Copy editors get involved in the book production process at an earlier stage than proofreaders. Typically, once a book has been commissioned, a copy editor will work with the author to bring it up to a publishable standard.
That means the copy editor is likely to become closely involved in the writing of the book. In the case of a non-fiction book, she (or he) may advise the author on what to include and what to leave out, the order in which content is presented, the use of photos and illustrations, and so on.
The copy editor will also assess the quality of the writing. Where necessary, she will ask the author to rewrite certain sections where they need to be stronger. In cases where the author has tried and failed, she may also rewrite sections of the book herself.
Once the copy editor is happy that the book is as good as it can be, she will mark up any corrections to the latest version of the typescript and pass it on to the typesetter, who will prepare it for publication in book form.
The proof reader comes in once the typesetter has set the book. His (or her) job is to read the typeset 'proofs' and mark up any errors he finds. Unlike the copy editor, the proof reader is not concerned with improving the text, and it is not his role to make stylistic changes. His job is simply to look for clear mistakes (typos, omissions, and so on) and ensure that they do not make it into the finished book.
Copy editing is a more demanding job than proof reading, and it is therefore better paid. While proof readers can get away with a few gaps in their grammatical knowledge, copy editors must be fully competent in all aspects of grammar and punctuation. Copy editors also need strong inter-personal skills, as they must forge good working relationships with 'their' authors in order to get the best out of them. They need to be tactful at times, to avoid giving the impression that they are criticizing the author's writing skills.
Many copy editors start out as proof readers, and this can be a great way to learn the ropes and build up your confidence before moving into a copy editing role.
