My process is straightforward and includes any combination of the tasks listed. I’ll ask for a summary of the story and an outline (if you have one). If you’ve started on the project already, I’m able to review your writing and see what still needs to be done. If you have a great idea but no outline, we’ll work to create an outline of the material.

Once we have a solid outline, we begin a series of conversations by phone, zoom, or in person. I record and transcribe them. Interviews for a book, depending on the size, can take anywhere from 20 to 40 hours in total over the span of the project, depending on the complexity of the topics.

After the initial interview phase, I’ll compile a rough first draft of all the material, organized by the outline points. I then conduct a deeper review of the material, creating a list of additional questions to help add crucial details to pivotal scenes. Additional sessions will be scheduled to talk through these points.

Once I have all the material, I craft your book, shaping the content to be compelling and informative, relying on your voice and expertise to guide me. When the draft is completed, I will send it to you for review via Google Docs where you can comment and make changes to your liking.

There are often 2 or 3 rounds of tweaks and revising before we have a solid manuscript ready for full editing and production (if self-publishing) or to be submitted to your publisher. Books can be completed within 3 - 9 months.

Ghostwriting is an incredibly valuable investment optimized to make the most out of your time, money, and vision. Rates vary depending on the timeline, publishing route, and the scope of the project. All prices are negotiable. Please contact me for an exact quote.

If you want to submit your book to agents in hopes of a book deal with a publisher, you’ll need a Book Proposal.

The Proposal contains one or two of the strongest and most compelling chapters as samples of writing and often a portion of the Introduction. It also contains your bio and platform details, including social media reach, possible endorsements, and how your book is unique to the market.

I include a query letter and a curated list of genre-specific agents with all Proposals. Note: If you want to self-publish, you don’t need a book proposal. This is for traditional publishing only.

Book Proposals are $10,000 and can be completed in 3 to 4 months.
