Ghostwriting ($15,000+)
When you work with me as a ghostwriter, you have not only a creative coach and thought partner, but an investigative journalist and reader advocate.
We’ll work together to define your message, structure it clearly, and get it all out on the page. From there, we’ll revise and refine until we have a superb representation of you, your story, and your core message.
At every step, I’m going to ask you deep questions and test your ideas to ensure we’re getting the book possible. Your reader is too important and your money is too valuable not to.
Ghostwriting is the best route for you if you already know you have a powerful story, but writing is either too time-intensive or too difficult to keep up with.
Book Coaching ($5,000+)
You know you can write your book, and you’re excited about it—but also scared and intimidated.
I get it: writing is hard. I’ve been a writer my entire life and know every way an author can struggle.
When you partner with me for book coaching, I’ll help you ensure your idea is as clear and compelling as possible before you start writing. Then, I’ll be your guide as you work through your first draft, setting up structured calls and review checkpoints to ensure you’ve not only got momentum, but you’re actually enjoying the writing process and will get the book done.
Editing ($1,000–5,000+)
If you’ve got a manuscript written and you want to bring an editor in to elevate it, I’ll do a full assessment of your needs to ensure we plan the right editing path for you.
The cost depends on the length, complexity, and quality of the manuscript.
Publishing ($10,000+)
Self-publishing is not difficult, but it can be complicated and overwhelming. I can help you assemble all the other pieces of your book and get it into your reader’s hands.
My publishing services include:
Assigning the best-fit talent for each publishing step (cover design, interior design, copyediting, proofreading, etc), drawing on my network of freelancers I've vetted and trust.
Managing the publishing timeline, preparing you for each next step, and helping you make creative and logistical decisions.
Ensuring your publishing accounts are set up properly, ISBNs are assigned, etc.
Distributing the book online to Amazon and other retailers via KDP and IngramSpark.
The exact costs of publishing depend on which formats of your book you plan to publish (i.e., ebook, paperback, hardcover, audiobook), which distribution channels you use, and your specific needs during and after launch.
What’s the Total Cost to Publish My Book?
I’ll assess your needs and budget to come up with more accurate costs, but these are good benchmarks to be prepared for:
If you plan to work with a ghostwriter: at least $25,000
If you’ve already written your manuscript: at least $10,000
