How it works

Our Ghostwriting Process From Idea to Manuscript

Most manuscripts are complete in 2-3 weeks from your first call. Longer or more research-heavy books can take a little more time, and we give you a clear estimate before you commit.

1

Free Discovery Call

We talk through your idea, timeline, and budget, and match you with a writer in your genre.

2

Interviews and Research

Your writer runs 45 to 90 minute interview calls and researches your topic between sessions.

3

Outline and Chapter Structure

We build a full outline together so you approve the shape of the book before drafting starts.

4

Drafting and Collaboration

Your writer drafts chapters and sends them to you for feedback as the manuscript comes together.

5

Revisions and Delivery

We revise until you are happy with every page, then deliver a complete, ready-to-publish manuscript.

Cost

How Much Do Ghostwriting Services Cost in New York?

Ghostwriting prices vary widely across the US. Basic agency packages can start at a few thousand dollars, while well-known ghostwriters can charge well over $100,000 for one book. Freelancers often charge by the word or by the project. Because the range is so wide, cost depends on book length, research needed, and how many interviews your project takes.

Up to 60% off

First-time authors get up to 60% off standard pricing. Call for a free quote based on your book type and length. Payment plans are available.

A ghostwriter is worth the cost for most clients because the alternative is not writing the book at all, or spending years stuck on a draft. You get a finished, professional manuscript without learning to write one yourself.

Making the right choice

How to Choose a Ghostwriter in New York

Ghostwriter vs. book editor vs. book coach
Option Who does the writing Best for
Ghostwriting The writer, from your direction You have the ideas but not the time or writing skill
Book editing You, then an editor improves it You already have a full draft
Book coaching You, with a coach guiding you You want to write it yourself with support

If you already have a full manuscript, you need an editor, not a ghostwriter. Many clients start with ghostwriting and move to editing once the draft is done, and we offer both under one roof.

Questions to Ask on Your First Call

Samples in your genre

Ask to see writing samples that match the genre or topic of your book.

Confidentiality

A signed NDA should be standard, not an extra you have to request.

Realistic timeline

Get a clear estimate in writing, not a vague promise.

Honest promises

No honest ghostwriter can guarantee a bestseller or a publishing deal. Be wary of anyone who does.
