Book Ghostwriting Pricing
Writing a book that builds your authority and transforms your readers takes more than a few good writing sessions. It takes deep understanding, structure, and partnership.
That’s why I charge a flat fee for a complete ghostwriting process that turns your ideas, experiences, and expertise into a powerful, publish-ready manuscript.
Ghostwriting Fee: $60,000
Terms: Four equal payments of $15,000, tied to key milestones throughout the process.
Timeline: Typically 6–9 months from start to finish
Payment 1 (Up Front): Due upon signing to reserve your project and begin interviews and scheduling.
Payment 2: After completion of interviews and delivery of the finalized outline.
Payment 3: Upon delivery of the complete first draft of the manuscript.
Payment 4: Upon delivery of the final, edited manuscript.
You get everything you need to go from concept to completed manuscript—with one clear investment and a proven system designed for busy entrepreneurs and thought leaders.
No hourly billing. No hidden costs. No surprises.
What’s Included
Phase 1:
Strategy & Foundation
We begin with deep-dive interviews to uncover your story, message, and voice. I help you clarify your audience, positioning, and the transformation your book will deliver.
Together, we build a detailed table of contents and chapter structure that aligns with your goals.
Phase 2:
Manuscript Development
I interview you, write each chapter in your authentic voice, and send drafts for feedback along the way.
You’ll see your ideas come to life on the page with clarity, flow, and impact.
Phase 3:
Revisions & Final Draft
We refine every chapter until your book reads the way you’ve always envisioned—polished, persuasive, and ready for the world.
Phase 4:
Editing & Delivery
The manuscript goes through a professional polish and quality review. You receive your final edited files—ready for design and production.
Book Editing Pricing
If you already have a manuscript—whether it’s 10,000 words or 100,000—I can help you take it from rough draft to publishable book.
My editing isn’t about fixing commas. It’s about restructuring ideas, improving flow, tightening language, and elevating your message.
I specialize in developmental and substantive editing—the kind that transforms good drafts into great books.
Because every manuscript is unique, pricing is determined by scope, length, and complexity.
After reviewing your manuscript, I’ll provide a detailed proposal and quote tailored to your project.
Typical Timeline: 4–8 weeks, depending on length and depth of editing required.
Book Publishing
Publishing management is available as an add-on for ghostwriting or editing clients who want a true “done-for-you” experience.
For $7,500, I oversee the entire publishing process, working with my network of trusted professionals to produce a finished, print-ready book.
This includes:
Final copyediting and proofreading coordination
ISBN registration and metadata setup
Professional cover design (front, spine, and back)
Interior layout and formatting for print and ebook
Compliance with Amazon KDP and IngramSpark
Printer coordination and file delivery
Printing costs are paid directly to the printer and vary depending on quantity, format, and materials.
The result: a professionally designed, fully compliant book that’s ready for print and sale.
Book Marketing
Publishing your book is only the beginning. My team and I help authors turn their books into business assets through fully customized marketing strategies and inbound campaigns.
We can handle every part of the marketing process, including:
Custom book website design
Funnel development for your offers
Email marketing and nurture sequences
Social media management
Blogging and SEO
Paid advertising campaigns
Ongoing marketing consulting and optimization
Every marketing plan is tailored to your audience, goals, and business model.
Because every author’s needs are different, marketing projects are quoted individually after an initial consultation.
What You’re Really Investing In
This isn’t just about writing or publishing a book. It’s about creating a lasting asset that builds trust, generates income, and positions you as a true authority in your field.
When we’re done, you’ll have:
A professional-quality book written in your voice.
A message that moves readers and drives opportunity.
A clear marketing path to build your brand and revenue.
