Ghostwriting FAQs - The most common ghostwriter questions

October 19, 2007

For your information and convenience, here are the most common questions and concerns about having your book written by a professional ghostwriter:

Q: How much is this going to cost me?
That depends on many factors, including: the length of the book, how much (if any) material exists, how much research will be required, number of interviews that need to take place, etc. Fees can vary greatly, but the range for a full-length, non-fiction (50,000 – 70,000 word) book is generally $25,000 - $45,000. (Assuming there are no co-author credits or royalty arrangements).

Note: Consider the fact that your book is usually the exclusive, full-time job of the ghostwriter for 6 months or more. (That’s 6 months you don’t have to spend writing!)

Q: What can I expect for those fees?
You’ll get the full-length, completed book you want, written to your specifications, along with 2 or 3 revisions. The client gets the book and the ghostwriter remains completely anonymous. (Some ghostwriters may reduce their fee for a possible royalty split, but that’s much less common).
