Complete book packages  $2500. to $10,000. depending on word count and how much work you will lend towards project. Projects where research, outside interviews and extensive editing hours are required may cost more. Smaller works may cost less.

Notice: At this time I am not accepting ideas where I am requested to write the entire book.

Time constraints and the very nature of the costs prohibit this from making good business sense to clients.

Short story assistance as low as $100.00

Website content as low as $100.00              

Employee manuals as low as $300.00

Special projects? Let's talk about it.

Well, that's different! You have probably visited numerous sites and it took forever to get through all the salespitch and double talk to find out the writing services that business offers are astronomical.

Often, these writing services won't give you any idea of costs without getting your name, address and phone number.

I'm sorry I am a little vague on my prices but every writing project is as individual as the person or company needing the work done and pre-packaged plans aren't doing justice to anyone especially when your project should be lower than the costs advertised.

I would imagine trying to find the right person to help you complete your writing project has been a daunting and disheartening experience. Most ghostwriting services have prices that go beyond anything you could have possibly imagined. I know a few myself that brag about helping a person re-write their web content for only $1500. There are several companies bragging that they can help you write a book for only $50,000. to $75,000. I find those fees preposterous. The problem is even honest and reasonable ghost writers who spend months writing a book for a client must charge fees in excess of $20,000 and the likelyhood you can ever recoup those costs on the open market have disuaded me from offering such services.  

There are some writer services who seem more reasonable until you start adding on all the extras they charge for editing and set-up and layout and on and on. By then, the real low price isn't very low anymore.

There are other ghostwriters on the web who are fairly inexpensive or in some cases "dirt cheap", but these individuals have no credentials, no experience and in many cases no talent to help you bring one of the most important things in your life into being.

Anyone can help you write. Not everyone can help you write something that is worth reading and worth promoting without draining your finances to the point of extinction.

Throughout this website are several areas where you can read my work. I believe it is important for someone to be able to see how someone writes and determine if  that person's style is compatible with how they want their final work to be presented. In the event you would like to see more of my work, let me know. I will be happy to send more examples of my writing until you feel comfortable in knowing my capabilities to bring your project to life.

If you have a story you always wanted to get down in words. Or would like to tell your life story in the form of a book for family members to enjoy now as well as for years to come.

If you are a member of a church, civic organization, fraternal order or even a business that has been around for decades but has never had its history properly documented? I might be the guy you have been looking for.

I can help create a lasting document that you, your family, organization members or employees will be able to enjoy for years to come.

If you need help writing a book to take to market, I can not only help you get the work finished in a professional manner but can help you get the book published plus give you assistance on how to best market the book.  

 Are you wanting help on a short story or do you want to write a book on your entire life? Are we talking about a standard book or are we documenting the history of a business, church or organization with words and pictures in order to create a large, coffee table style volume? 

Are you requesting my help to rewrite your own words or do you need me to help change your conversations into a story? Will it be necessary to have many interviews, perhaps with many people or do you have all the information ready for rewrite? Maybe, because of distance, the entire project will be handled via e-mail or phone calls. Will any research be required to get the story right?

You can see how many factors come into play in a project but don't worry. I am free for consultation and we can go back and forth via E-mail until you are comfortable with me and my costs or you decide to look elsewhere. I never need to know your address or phone number or real name if that makes you feel more comfortable during this discussion period.

Now, I am not a printer nor have any referral program with a printer and my charges are to the point of having your document on floppy or printed out in a format that will allow a printer to easily scan and create your final book. I can give you leads as to who can print your work at a reasonable cost however, and will be happy to assist you with printers if you wish.

If we are creating or reworking web content, I will send it to you via Microsoft Word as an attachment.

In the event you are trying to put a book together for private or public distribution I can get that done for you or give you the particulars on how to get the job done yourself.

In the event you want to self publish, I have a great deal of experience and can lead you to the honest publishers and printers and tell you what to stay away from in the cut throat business of small publishing services.

 I hope to hear from you soon. Good luck on your project. I know how special it is to you. I hope it can be special for both of us.
