Ghostwriter Service

Our team of ghostwriters, editors, and beta readers can help turn your idea into a finished manuscript, quickly and affordably. We use collaborative process so you’ll play an integral role in the process, reviewing every word. When it’s complete, you can choose to have our publishing division go to work. At the end of the process, it will be your name on the spine of a well-written, published book.

Who Uses a Ghostwriter Service?

Our clients are just like you. They are men and women who have a great idea, but just simply don’t have the time or expertise to put their ideas and thoughts on paper.

Gabriel hired a ghostwriter since he wasn’t sure how to write a memoir. The book was important to him because he had suffered through traumatic events and he felt no one really knew the truth about what happened. After battling with the court system and receiving heartache after heartache he finally decided it was time for his side of the story.

Rory is a high-level executive, getting ready for retirement. He wanted to write his life story, with a focus on the lessons he learned working as a Portugese businessman in America. He felt his experiences could really help others. In fact, he had previously written his story in Portugese as two separate books but he didn’t feel he had the time to rewrite the English versions and instead hired us to write his career memoir.

Why Use a Ghostwriting Service?

Our clients want to have their voices heard. They have a story that needs to be told. Using our service guarantees that their ideas, thoughts and experiences will be documented to inform and entertain generations of readers.

Our clients know their books will be crafted by professional writers who know how to make words come alive on the page and communicate their vision.

Frequently Asked Questions on our Ghostwriter Service

What is your ghostwriting process like?

We will work closely with you to develop your idea into a finished book and use a 4-step process:
1. Skeleton Draft and Concepts Outline: Here we capture the “story arc” for a memoir or “idea arc” for a business book.
2. Clarify: With the ideas plotted, we begin identifying holes to be filled and information that needs clarification, anecdotal support, or graphic design. A significant amount of rearranging chapter subsections is involved to improve the overall flow of the book and even out chapter lengths.
3. Creative flair: At this stage, we ensure your unique author “voice” is preserved.
4. Simplify: Once the first draft of the manuscript is finished, an editor will be selected whose background is suitable for your project.

I have tried writing my memoir several times in the past. I find it hard to continue and have almost given up. How can your ghostwriter help?

This is a very common challenge for writers who reach out to us, and one that we can definitely assist with. We prefer working with clients at the early stage of writing so we can assist with factors like:
1. Listening with empathy so we can understand the emotions that need to be articulated
2. Building an effective story structure, proper merging with creative writing elements
3. And most importantly, using ensuring that our writing process helps provide you catharsis from challenging events – so you can literally close a chapter in your life

Our writing process is collaborative, and is facilitated by having a phone discussion preferably once a week – the lead ghostwriter would lead the discussion with a set of questions and record it so we can preserve your “voice”.

Do I own the finished book? Do I hold the copyright to the work?

Yes, you own the copyright to your work, 100%.

You will have complete ownership of the finished book and it will carry your name as the author. Once the book is written, we can also work with you to produce a finished book and bring it to market under a separate agreement.

How long can it take? How much is Expedited Service?

6 – 18 months, unless you have requested an expedited service or extra expedited service. Then it can be 90 and 40 days, respectively.

Expedited service fees is $3,500, and extra expedited service is $5,500.

What type of books do you ghostwrite?

Although, we can create something in almost every genre. That includes memoirs, inspirational, self-help, general fiction, children’s literature and coffee table books. But, we tend to specialize in spiritual memoirs. Here are some examples:

Non Fiction/How To Guide

Our client wanted us to create her book because she realized that, after years of working in real estate, there is not one book that covers tips or tricks of the profession comprehensively or are out dated. So, she decided to create her own. She hired us to put it together because she is incredibly busy, and although she is an excellent real estate agent, she realized she didn’t know how to write a book.

Memoirs

This client was abused by her mother as a young child and is now caring for her ailing mother as her health declines. She wanted to share her story in order to educate others about child abuse and offer hope and encouragement to other survivors. She was not sure where to start and felt overwhelmed by the thought of writing an entire book so she hired us to write her story.

Inspirational

One client wanted to share his journey of finding God with his congregation and help inspire them to have faith in God and themselves. However, he was not sure how to convert his sermons and his life story into a book and felt overwhelmed with the task at hand. He decided to hire an expert to mesh the two ideas into one story.

Fiction

Another client is a history buff and had a great idea for a story but was not sure how to write it, so he hired us to help. His book is historical fiction.

Can I sign a NDA? Will all my information remain confidential?

Yes and yes. We can send you a NDA to sign. All information that is provided to us, is held under strict confidentiality.

Pricing for our Ghostwriter Service

We have two packages and can offer expedited service as well. Besides the usual manuscript development processes, our price also includes professional editing and getting the manuscript ready for the book production phase. If research is required before working on the manuscript, then an hourly rate of $95/hour will apply.

The entire staff at CaryPress has been exceptionally helpful from beginning to end in publishing my book. They also followed up when we expanded from Hardcover to both paper and ebook.

I just finished the process of writing and publishing my first book, with Cary Press a partner through the whole process. I love the fact that my input and my imprints were all over the production process. They also exercised a lot of patience as I had many questions throughout the process. I love the fact that they have flexible payment options making the burden of payment lighter for new authors like me. Overall, I had a great experience with Cary Press. Will definitely be returning for my next book.

I am a first time author. Alex White, my author guide, was simply just incredible! I really enjoyed communicating with her twice each week. Alex, a true professional with class, made me feel like a family member of CaryPress. Thank you Alex, as my dream has come true, this was a wonderful publishing experience! It was also a great pleasure communicating with her team. I am also looking forward to the marketing of my book. CaryPress, the outstanding publishing company that cares about your success! I will highly recommend CaryPress!

CaryPress was a good ghostwriting and publishing experience for me. They patiently worked with me and corrected anything on their end. During the galley review process, as well as make my overall publishing experience a good one. There are other companies out there who use highly aggressive sales tactics on their authors. CaryPress never did that to me. Overall, they were helpful without being pushy or intrusive.

Professionalism at its finest. If you like correspondence via emails, and I do. My Author Guide is responsive and is very knowledgeable about the process. I just finished my second book with the company; I wouldn't go anyplace else. CaryPress is available by phone also, if that is your style. I paid for expedited services ($199.00) for both my memoir and the first book was released within 3 weeks of paying the fee. I submitted my memoir online, once I paid for services, the entire process is handled online. After the book was formatted, a sample copy was sent and I was able to read the book from start to finish and fix/correct any errors. Once submitted the corrections were made, and another sample of the book was sent. I was able to make more correction if needed. This is the final step, and the book will be ready for print. Like I said 100% professionalism. Namaste, Judith
