Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost and how long does it take?

Every ghostwriter is different. Some newer writers will be cheaper and faster, some are more expensive and take longer but are more experienced.  

Ghostwriting a book can take anywhere from 6-9 months and is a five-figure investment. Expect to budget anywhere from £25,000 – £50,000. 

Yep, it’s not cheap, but that’s because your book is a big deal. And there are a ton of variables to consider like interviews, drafting, rewrites, feedback, word count and topic complexity. Not to mention finding ways of weaving intangible thoughts and ideas into a well-structured linear argument that people will enjoy and want to read.

This is a careful, considered process that requires creativity, strategic thinking and a clear head. That’s why I take ONE Premium Ghostwriting Client at a time. You will be my priority.

This is your book. This is your story.

What we are dealing with is far too important to half-arse it. So, let’s give it the attention it deserves.

Why do people work with ghostwriters?

My clients tend to get in touch because they like my film and theatre background. Or they appreciate my marketing and social media knowledge.

Others don’t have the mental energy or just don’t like writing.

I’ve had clients with dyslexia and ADHD, others just know they’ll procrastinate; they know a ghostwriter is the only way their book will get done.

It’s a personal choice.

What is the best way to sell my book?

Unfortunately, I’m not a professional book marketer or publisher so I can’t advise on this. However, I can offer my thoughts and ideas based on my past marketing background. Ths is something we can explore in Phase 1 of our process.

If you are keen, I can point you in the direction of PR and marketing experts who can help.

Can you help me publish my book?

I’m not a publisher, so I can’t help with any publishing queries. However I have partnered with a professional publisher based in the US who I will connect you with once your manuscript is complete. He will be much better positioned than me to help you!

Can I see samples?

I can give you pre-approved writing samples, if after our initial call, you are serious about moving forward. You can also read samples I’ve created specifically for the purposes of a portfolio. They aren’t client samples but will give you an idea of my abilities.

Am I allowed to use a ghostwriter?

Yes. If famous celebrities, sports stars and politicians can hire ghostwriters you can too. It’s just like outsourcing work to a freelancer.

How do I become a bestseller?

Impossible to say. Some people have great PR and marketing companies. Some people have very rich and influential friends. Some people are lucky. Don’t expect to make millions from your book, but do expect it to open doors for you.
