Ghostwriting is when we do the writing for you.
A good first step is to arrange a Consultation to discuss what you want to achieve and the sort of length of story you have in mind. We can chat about the details and you can raise any questions you have.
Ghostwriting needs two-way communication, so we will talk at length to discover what is important for your life story. Through a series of interviews we’ll explore events, memories, and anecdotes. We’ll do the writing and provide you with drafts for you to comment on. Your feedback is of the utmost importance throughout the project.
After interviews and the first draft, we undergo a second substantive edit – again seeking your ideas because collaboration is crucial.
Next is a review edit and once again we’ll be in regular contact over several months as we produce a story worthy of publication, and an important legacy for those yet to come.
Working as a team, we’ll create a ‘custom-fit’ life story. So please tell us more about what you want.
Charges to write a memoir vary of course, like the costs to build a house. How big will it be?
But to give you an approximate idea of charges, here are a couple of examples of average costs for getting your story to a third draft stage:
- SHORTER MEMOIR – Averages around $12,000 – $18,000.
- LONGER MEMOIR – Charges for longer memoirs often start around $21,000.
We can also help you with publishing later on.
MINI LIFE STORY
Another popular method is to arrange for us to ghostwrite a Mini Life Story for you. Something manageable and at a reasonable cost (usually around $5,000 to $7,000 … then later you can build on it as you see fit; arrange for more interviews, add more of your own input; and then we can do further edits for you.
We suggest booking a consultation to start with.
