HOW MUCH DOES GHOSTWRITING COST?
I specialize in nonfiction books. Please see my Services page for information concerning the subjects I write about.
Prices in the ghostwriting market vary widely, depending on requirements, book length, how much research is required, whether you require a book outline to be written first, and other variables. Bear in mind when considering prices that, as your ghostwriter, I have no claim to any royalties, commissions, or other monies once the completed manuscript has been revised to your requirements and handed over to you.
Books in my genres average from at least 30,000 words up to approximately 55,000 words but they can be longer, depending on your requirements. I am a quick, efficient, yet thorough writer; the first draft of a 30,000 word book takes me approximately 20 - 25 days to complete, including the bonus material and book description. To give you an idea of my pricing, a 30,000 nonfiction book would cost you in the region of US$20,000 - US$24,000, while a book of 55,000 words would cost US$40,000 - US$44,000. It is important for you to specify the required word length when discussing your project with me, so that an appropriate fee can be charged. I will write to the word count specified. Additional words are charged out on a per word basis.
