How Much I Charge

​​

If you hire me as your ghost writer, or to help you with a self-publishing project, how much will it cost?

​​

Please read about 'The Stages Involved' before you look here. There's no point talking about payment until you know what you're paying for.

​

When you and I work together on your book, I can't tell you exactly how much I'll charge because every book is different. Also, as I say in 'The Stages Involved', you can have as much or as little of my involvement as you want at every stage of the publishing process.

​​

The best thing is to get in touch so I can learn about your book and then negotiate a price that's comfortable for both of us. 

​​

Please note that I always work on a 'flat fee' basis. Once you've paid me, that's it. You don't have to give me a percentage of sales, ongoing royalties or anything like that. You pay me, I do the work and that's that.

​

One last point: it's not 'dead money'. If you pay for a car or some new furniture the money is gone forever. When you pay me to work on your book, the usual plan is to put the book on sale so that it will start to make money for you. I can't guarantee that you will get all your money back and eventually move into profit. However, this is certainly possible and even probably. Most of my own books have paid for themselves many times over and I know that many of my clients, for whom I've 'ghosted' books, have also recouped their money and ended up with a profit.
