Premium vs. Standard Ghostwriting

We offer two tiers to match your budget and preferences:

Premium: Fully Human-Crafted (No AI)

• Original writing by experienced authors
• Research as needed and genre-specific expertise
• Extensive revision and refinement process
• Fiction: $0.13/word
• Nonfiction: $0.15/word
• Memoirs: $0.17/word

Standard: AI-Assisted with Human Refinement

• AI-generated first drafts refined and polished by professional authors
• Human oversight ensures voice consistency and quality
• Faster turnaround times
• All genres: $0.08-$0.10/word

Pricing within the AI-assisted range depends on project clarity. Clients who provide detailed outlines, character profiles, or clear specifications receive the lower rate. Projects requiring more development work from our team fall toward the higher end.

Both options include milestone-based payment, unlimited communication, and revisions at each milestone.

Genres We Excel In

Our ghostwriters are published authors with expertise across:

Fiction:

• Thrillers & Suspense
• Science Fiction & Dystopian
• Paranormal & Urban Fantasy
• Romance & Contemporary Fiction
• Literary Fiction
• Action & Adventure

Nonfiction:

• Business & Entrepreneurship
• Self-Help & Personal Development
• Memoirs & Biographies
• How-To Guides
• Thought Leadership

All genres welcome—we match you with a writer who knows your audience.

Our Milestone-Based Process

We work in manageable increments so you stay in control and only pay for what you've approved:

1. Initial Consultation & Outline Development We discuss your vision, audience, and goals. Your ghostwriter creates a detailed chapter-by-chapter outline for your approval.

2. Milestone-Based Writing Your manuscript is written in 15,000-20,000 word increments (approximately 5-7 chapters). You review and approve each section before we move to the next milestone.

Payment: You pay for each milestone upfront before we begin writing that section. For example, for a 16,000-word milestone at $0.13/word ($2,080), you pay when we're ready to start that section.

3. Revision Within Each Milestone If adjustments are needed during a milestone, we revise before moving forward—ensuring we stay aligned with your vision throughout the project.

4. Final Delivery After all milestones are complete, you receive your full manuscript in multiple formats (Word, PDF, ebook-ready files).

Timeline: 4-6 months for a full-length novel, depending on length and complexity.

Flexible Options Choose between premium (fully human) or standard (AI-assisted) ghostwriting based on your budget and preferences.

Complete Rights Transfer The book is yours. Use your name, pseudonym, or any attribution you choose. We never claim ownership or royalties.

Our Ghostwriting Philosophy

We write your book, not ours. Whether you're building a fiction brand, establishing thought leadership, or creating content for readers underserved by traditional publishing, we deliver original work that matches your voice, vision, and audience.

Our ghostwriters are published authors who understand:

• Genre conventions and reader expectations
• Independent publishing strategies
• How to write for specific demographics (including male-skewed audiences)
• The importance of authentic storytelling without ideological constraints

Ghostwriting Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the difference between Bespoke (100% Human) and AI-Assisted Ghostwriting?

• Bespoke Ghostwriting ($0.13–$0.17 / word): Fully crafted from scratch by an experienced human author. Ideal for complex fiction, memoirs, and books requiring nuanced voice, emotional depth, or custom worldbuilding.
• AI-Assisted Ghostwriting ($0.08–$0.10 / word): Uses AI for initial drafting speed, followed by heavy human line-editing, structuring, and polishing. Best for authors on a tight budget or fast deadline who still want a clean, professional book.

2. How much does ghostwriting cost, and how does milestone payment work?

We charge transparent per-word rates instead of opaque custom quotes:

• Bespoke: $0.13/word for fiction, $0.15/word for nonfiction, $0.17/word for memoirs.
• AI-Assisted: $0.08–$0.10/word across all genres.
• Milestone Payments: You never pay 100% upfront. Work is broken into 15,000 to 20,000-word increments (approx. 5–7 chapters). You review, request revisions, and approve each milestone before paying for and starting the next one.
• Rates within each tier depend on project complexity, such as the depth of research required or how much existing material you provide.

3. Do I keep 100% of the rights and royalties to my book?

Yes, completely. You retain 100% of the copyright, royalties, and intellectual property. Use your real name or a pen name—our ghostwriters take no royalties or public co-author credit unless explicitly requested.

4. How do I know my ideas won't be stolen? Do you sign NDAs?

Yes. Confidentiality is standard practice. The client agreement we provide explicitly affirms your privacy and your ownership over your intellectual property. We are also happy to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before discussing proprietary ideas, plot outlines, or personal stories. Everything created during the project belongs exclusively to you.

5. Do I need a complete outline before we start?

No. If you only have a high-level concept or rough notes, we build a detailed chapter-by-chapter outline with you during the initial planning phase before writing begins.

6. How involved do I need to be in the writing process?

As much or as little as you prefer. Some authors like reviewing every milestone in detail, while others give us the concept and let us execute. Each milestone includes two rounds of revision at no extra charge to keep the story aligned with your vision.

7. Do you match my voice or create a new one?

Either. If you have existing books or writing samples, we study and match your tone. If you are starting fresh, we work with you during the outline phase to establish a distinctive voice for your book or series.
