A memoir based on your life experiences, the good times and the hard times, of approximately 250 pages, will take me six months to ghost write and edit.
 
My fee is $350,000.
 

You may have come across cheaper ghost writing services. And there’s a reason they are cheap. These firms churn out books using an assembly line of high-pressure sales reps and project managers and account staff. To say nothing of outsourced freelance writers and editors, many paid pennies per word. The result is often mediocre prose, interchangeable filler, clichéd stories, and forgettable books. Far from elevating your life and story, a low-cost content mill can do serious harm to your reputation.
 

You don’t want templates and shortcuts.
 

You want a writer who cares, a writer with a capacity to render ordinary, sometimes flawed people in unexpected and humanizing detail, and a writer with the temperament to stick by your side until we write that final page.

That you’re still reading means you know this can work.

I typically conduct a series of meetings, either face to face, or more commonly over the phone. I record the calls and have the audio transcribed by a professional transcription services firm. My fee covers all transcription costs, story consultants, researchers, editors, and proofreaders.

Here’s what I expect of you.

You must be open, coachable, and ready to begin. You must be willing to be interviewed, to review the drafts I send you, and to make constructive comments to improve the manuscript. You must be ready to write this book.
