Writing a book is hard! It challenges you in so many ways.
Luckily, there is help to make the process of finishing your book easier. I offer three levels of support to help you finish your book.
Ghostwriting support. You speak, I write.
Many people aren’t familiar with the term “ghostwriter,” but it simply means that someone is writing on an author’s behalf. At this point, I’ve ghostwritten about 40 books--and those projects have allowed me to write as musicians and athletes and business leaders.
Most of the time, I am not an expert in the field of the book’s expertise. The author is the subject matter expert, and I’m the story expert, and I extract the story through conversations and research.
My biggest goal as a ghostwriter is to attune my writing to the author’s voice.
If you envision the book as a long road trip, think of the ghostwriter as the driver and the author as the person in the passenger seat giving directions.
Ghostwriting is very collaborative and usually involves weekly meetings. My Done For You service is preferable for those who don’t feel fully confident in their writing abilities, those who don’t have the time to devote to writing, or those with complex projects. It is a high-touch service that involves less time commitment from the author (one hour per week), typically a book draft in less time (about six to eight months for a straightforward project), and highest-quality results.
As a result, this service level is the most expensive. My rate for my Done For You service is $40,000-$75,000 depending on the project scope, specifications and complexity, broken down into milestones or monthly payments.
Coaching support. You write, I guide you.
Think of a sports coach with a whistle offering guidance and support, and writing coaching is similar (albeit without the whistle).
A writing coach empowers an author to do their best work.
With our road trip analogy, think of the writing coach as the passenger providing direction and the author driving the car.
My Done With You service is great for writers who need a little support to stay on track and those who have writing experience in mediums other than books. The rate for my Done With You service is $1,000-$2,500 per month, depending on the project scope, specifications and complexity.
A proven framework and live coaching to empower you.
There’s so much to learn with book writing, and the right course can help empower your book journey.
I developed my weekly Good Book Accountability course because I wanted to provide authors with a resource and share all of the knowledge I’ve gathered from my own book writing experiences. I wanted to empower and guide authors no matter their price point.
My DIY + Guidance service level offers the same book writing insights I use at my Done For You and Done With You service tiers, along with weekly group coaching calls, to help you write your best book. The cost is $99 per month.
I often perform developmental edits of book drafts and I’ve also completed many book proposals. Please inquire for more information on these and other services.
My goal is to help you find the right solution for yourself and your project. By learning more about your project and your goals, I can help you choose the right path forward for your book journey.
