Pricing

Other firms may charge you by the hour, but how can you know what they consider to be an hour's work? We agree on a price with you before starting work, and stick to it?

Rather than providing flat-rate prices, we prefer to negotiate a suitable fee with each client, after having reviewed the proposed project.

The following are some guidelines that can help you when budgeting your project:

 
Minimum Maximum

Ghostwriting a full-length book
(depending on word count, research required research)

 $5,000 $30,000 +

Book proposal
(depending on length, complexity and subject matter: discountable from full-length book fees)

$1,000 $3,000

Ghostwriting articles
(maximum 8,000 words; depends on extent of research required and the target audience (academic or general)

$300 $1,500

Editing
(per 1,000 words, depending on the standard of the original)

$20 $50

Proofreading
(per 1,000 words)

  $20

Book critiques
(depending on length and subject matter)

$300 $750

Article critiques

PowerPoint Presentations
(sliding scale up to 60 slides)

$300 $12,500

Speeches
(up to one hour in length; discounted if packaged with PowerPoint presentations)

$750 $3,000

Once a fee has been agreed upon, we do ask for a deposit. Full payment is made on successful completion of the project.

Prices are quoted in U.S. dollars, but the client's home country is not an issue. To convert the above amounts to your currency, please use this universal currency converter, which will open in a new window.  Substantial payments are usually made by check (bank draft) and credit cards are accepted through PayPal.
