Ghostwriting Prices

How much does it cost to hire a ghostwriter? Ghostwriting and editorial prices differ depending on a project’s scale and the ghostwriter on board. Each unique project will demand different amounts of focus, research, intensity and time. As a result, we quote changing amounts on a project-by-project basis. Our fees depend on the time invested, the level of skill required and the responsibility we take on in servicing the project. The importance and value of the advice we provide are all taken into consideration. To help clients understand the investment required please see the below guide:

1 hour – £50-£150 | 1 day – £250-£900 | 1 week – £1250-£4000

Your project will be categorised as mini, mid, large, or full-scale. This depends on the number of weeks or months we will need to invest, as well as who will be working on it and when. Prices for ghostwriting and editorials can overlap due to the nature of the writing process.

New customers must be prepared to pay in advance for a day, week, or month’s work after any meeting or consultation.

We can also charge a minimum service retainer; this would involve miscellaneous writing works such as emails on your behalf to relevant agents and publishers, phone call consultations, and time for 1:1 meet-ups online or in person. This service is ideal for our clients whose projects are complete and do not wish to pay the day rate for continued work.
