Collaborative Ghostwriting

I ghostwrite books for coaches, healers, educators, and consultants.

As your ghostwriter, I will transform your course materials, notes, videos, journal entries, dissertations, and verbally told stories into engaging and informative works written in your voice and from your perspective.

Writing a book offers you an opportunity to deeply explore your philosophy and your message. Through articulating your ideas and methods in writing, you become clearer about who you are and what you want to convey to your readers. The clarity you achieve through the writing process will not only inform your book but can improve your coaching and teaching practices.

Writing with the help of a skilled ghostwriter can be just as powerful. It's crucial that your book accurately represents your perspective so that readers can "hear" your voice on the page.

The Ghostwriting Process

• The first step is a complimentary discovery session in which you and I clarify your goals and vision for your book.
   
• In three sessions, we will work together to complete a detailed plan for your book. You will clarify exactly who you are writing the book for, what your readers will gain from it, and how you will publish and market it. You will have a full chapter-by-chapter outline that you can use to begin writing the book.
   
• If you decide to move forward with me as your scribe, the next step is to begin interviewing and writing! This is a close collaboration. We will conduct an hour-long interview for each chapter, and I will incorporate your feedback as I revise each chapter draft.
   
• When the manuscript is complete, I will refer you to an editor who will help you prepare your manuscript for either self-publication or submission to a publishing house.
   

Rates and Timelines

• My rate is $1500 per chapter (includes two hours of interviewing and two hours of research) + a base rate of $3000 per book project (includes extensive planning process). Each chapter is typically between 3,000 and 5,000 words or 10 to 15 printed pages.
   
• Depending on your availability for this collaborative process, a chapter is usually completed in two weeks.
  
  Please note that these timelines are estimates. Your timeline will likely be shorter (and your rate lower) if you have already written up a substantial amount of content for your book. If you need me to do extensive research, the process may take longer.
