A professional writer with general knowledge of the subject matter of the book is employed to take either a first draft of the manuscript or rough material (notes, interview transcripts or reports) and write the book in consultation with the author. The ghostwriter will examine materials from the author and provide an estimate together with writing samples for approval.
Timing: Estimated during the sample stage (see below).
Cost Estimate and Writing Sample: $299 (applied toward cost if purchased). The fee to write the complete manuscript will depend on the expected length of the manuscript, the materials provided by the author, and the amount of independent research expected of the ghostwriter.
