My Fees for Ghostwriting

The fee for any work always depends on the length and complexity of the project, and I will never charge the outrageous fees used by large ghostwriting companies. All projects are evaluated at no charge, and I will never attempt to "upsell" you with extra services (agent contacts, press releases, etc.) that no one should ever have to pay for. On the contrary, I will share valuable industry information for free and help you get started in your submissions process at no charge.

I always work for a flat fee and ask for no credit or byline on the book. I do not work for royalties in lieu of payment. I do request a good faith deposit before work begins since, unfortunately, I have been hired in the past by some individuals who did not have sufficient funds to pay for my services. When considering ghostwriting fees, make sure that your money is being spent wisely. I invite you to visit my Ghostwriting Scams page.

Depending on the projected length of the book, payments are usually made in five increments. Prompt payment is expected after client approval of each installment of the manuscript. Installments are used to ensure client satisfaction with the work in progress.

Editing fees are generally far lower than ghostwriting fees, but editing can range from simple proofreading for minor grammatical errors to rephrasing (or even rewriting) large sections of a manuscript. Some jobs are a combination of editing and ghostwriting.

I accept personal checks and money orders. Sorry, I do not handle credit card transactions at this time.
