As an award-winning publishing company, MindStir Media can help with all aspects of book production including professional ghostwriting. Our ghostwriter service pairs you with an expert ghostwriter who will collaborate with you and ultimately write your book for you. All of our ghostwriters are seasoned professional writers with experience in writing successful books.
Who uses ghostwriting services?
You’ve probably heard the term “ghostwriting” associated with politicians and public figures/celebrities. While many of those individuals absolutely hire ghostwriters, you certainly don’t need to be famous to use a ghostwriting service. Ghostwriting is for anyone with a story to tell (fiction or nonfiction) who simply doesn’t have the time or skillset (or both) to produce the book on his/her own. If that’s you, then you qualify for ghostwriting services!
We ghostwrite for business owners and executives, fiction enthusiasts, and more. You just need to convey your ideas, and there’s really no limit to the content we can produce for you.
How does book ghostwriting work?
We follow a 5-step ghostwriting process that has worked very well for us throughout the years.
1
Consultation
We’ll discuss your overall vision for the book, the target audience, your goals, and more.
2
Outlining
The ghostwriter normally creates a chapter-by-chapter outline at this stage, highlighting all the key points for each chapter.
3
Interviews
You’ll hop on phone or Zoom calls with the ghostwriter to gather info to flesh out the content.
4
Manuscript writing and development
The ghostwriter will write/develop the actual content for your manuscript.
5
Finished draft
From start to finish, the turnaround time for ghostwriting a non-fiction or fiction manuscript is around 6 months to 1 year.
Ghostwriting service rates
We don’t offer a one-size-fits-all ghostwriting option. Each project varies. We can tell you, however, that our ghostwriting rates range from about $2.25 per word to $3 per word depending on the length and complexity of your project. If your project requires extensive research, that will also play a role in the pricing. Our minimum word count for a ghostwriting project is 30,000 words.
Ghostwriting FAQs
What is ghostwriting?
A professional writer will write your book on your behalf and remain anonymous. You’ll be credited as the author for the book, not the ghostwriter.
Who will own the rights for my ghostwritten book?
By entering into a ghostwriting contract with us and paying the ghostwriter fee, you’re essentially buying the rights and copyright to the content that we create for you. Simply put, you’ll own the content and all rights to the content.
How do you handle confidentiality for your ghostwriting services?
Both you and MindStir will sign a ghostwriting agreement, which includes an NDA, requiring strict confidentiality from both parties.
What are the genres that you ghostwrite?
We ghostwrite a wide range of books, including nearly all forms of fiction and non-fiction — from novels to memoirs to business books.
