Quite a lot, to be honest. Writing a book is a LONG project. It will take a writer close to a year. We quote accordingly. We have given you some estimations below on what it may cost... but a lot of the cost depends on the seniority of the writer (specialist journalist vs writer) and the length and scope of the project.

We are experts in writing a really strong book and getting it to market - and that is our primary business.

1.GHOSTWRITING FEES (International see prices if you are living in Southern Africa below) Many of the books we write are published (in a printed form) and come in at a minimum word count of 50,000 words to meet trade standards for bookshops. However we will work on 30,000 for digital-only books. We have outlined the ghostwriting process a bit more lower. Book of 30,000-44,000 words approx $10,000 USD Book of 45,000 - 60,000 words approx $15,000 USD Book of 60,000-80,000 words approx $18,000 USD ZAR FEES (for clients in South Africa and Southern Africa only) Book of 30,000-44,000 words approx R60,000 ZAR Book of 45,000 - 60,000 words approx R120,000 Book of 60,000-80,000 words approx R180,000

Most ghostwritten books (full length) take 12 months from first contact to final proof.

Yes! Read that again. It takes a long time to write a book. I have written a few in four months, but these are where the 'author' had a strong body of written content from talks, courses and workshops.

This depends on the style, length, subject matter, research required and tone. It also depends on how much written material you already have, or if all material will be collected via interviews.

As a rough costing guideline a ghostwritten non-fiction book can cost from between $5,000 and up to $35,000.

Most of the book will be written using a series of interviews done online and recorded. The biggest job is to get the first version of the book together. Once the book is written in the first draft, there were be a series of approvals, meetings, additions and rewrites until we find the right tone, story, thread and voice.

Writing a book is a long journey and we will spend a lot of time together. While I will write the book, it will contain your story and voice.

No. All of the books I have written where HAVE found publishers but we simply can't guarantee that.

No. Writing and editing are totally different functions and best done by different people. This will be a separate cost and we do work with many editors and can refer you.
