Ghostwriter,
at your service!
 When you need the services of an
experienced professional writer to "ghost" your book or article, let me help
you get the "write" edge!
I provide ghostwriting services to
aspiring authors who don't have the time or expertise to do the writing work
themselves. It's very common to outsource writing work to a ghostwriter, so
don't feel awkward about seeking outside assistance with your writing
project.
Although I am open to considering a collaboration on any
non-fiction writing project,
I am most interested in the genres of:
business, how-to, self-help/personal development, spirituality,
memoir/biography and travel narrative.
I prefer to select writing
projects that have themes or messages that are enlightening, inspirational,
uplifting, healthy, educational or entertaining. I am not interested in writing
about subjects or personal stories for the purposes of sensationalizing
situations or exploiting others, or purely for the financial gain of myself or
my client.

Ghostwriting Your Book
Do you have a book hiding within you,
waiting to get out? Ghostwriters frequently help people turn their book
ideas into reality. Whether you have had an offer from a publisher to write a
book, or you want to self-publish in print or via e-book, you don't need to
wait any longer simply because the idea of writing a book feels too
overwhelming! With me as your "ghost", your book will go from just a glimmer of
an idea in your mind, to something others can enjoy and benefit from for
years!
Fees: start at $10,000 and can exceed upwards of $50,000
depending upon factors such as the size of the book, the amount of research
required, how much work the client has done in advance, the complexity of the
subject, matter, and more. If you are open to giving me a by-line, a discount
will be applied to the project estimate. See complete fee schedule here.
Don't know how big your book will be?
Read: "How Big is My
Book?" A 50% deposit is required in advance, with
additional payments due at project milestones (for example, upon delivery of
the first draft); the balance is due within 10 business days of delivery of the
final manuscript. I do not work on "spec" (i.e. on the hope of future
publication or for a share of royalties only). Major credit cards are
accepted.

Ghostwriting Your "Expertise" Articles
Why pass up an opportunity to publish an
article in your professional area of expertise? Magazines, newspapers and web
publications are always looking for timely and fresh material, and being
published helps you expand your professional credentials. If you are invited to
write an article, don't pass up the opportunity because you don't enjoy
writing. If you have an article concept you want to develop and pitch to a
magazine or newspaper, why not go for it? All you need to make it happen is a
creative writing partner to collaborate with you -- it will be fun and easy,
and SO rewarding! Contact me to
discuss your project and get a price estimate.

Samples:
-- Article on Effectiveness - I was invited to
write this original article for this trade publication after the editor read
one of my coaching newsletter articles on a similar topic and loved my
perspective on becoming more effective. If I can write to establish expertise
for myself -- and I have, many times -- I can do the same for YOU!
--
The BEFORE and AFTER of an article I ghostwrote for a therapist and
three-time published author who wanted to write for a magazine but who
previously had experience writing only for his academic peer group. My
challenge was to take his rough notes, combined with live interviews with the
client, and find the right angle and "voice" for the material that would be
acceptable to the editor of a mainstream publication. The client was thrilled
with the final result!

Ghostwriting
Your Blog
More and more businesses are creating blogs
as a "value-added" way of reaching out to current and future customers. If you
have wanted to create your own blog for your business, but don't want the
time-consuming hassles of writing and posting the articles each week, consider
hiring me as your blog's ghostwriter!
Typical arrangements for blog
writing involve a monthly retainer starting at $1,000 for two short blog
articles per week. For longer articles or more frequent blog posts, the monthly
fee will be increased accordingly.
I can also help you create and set up
your blog using Typepad (I use Typepad myself!) and more.
