What genres and subject matter are you familiar with? 

I’ve worked in fiction, science fiction, memoir, film, and stage scripts.

​

If my book idea isn't fully formed, can you help me figure out the missing pieces? 

Absolutely, I can help you work through the unanswered questions. From choosing the POV to deciding how it will end, we'll discuss your idea and strategize a compelling execution.

Do you have a process for learning your client’s voice?

Yes, I immerse myself in their communication. People talk differently than they write, though the vocabulary they express in their speech tends to be indicative of what you'll find in their writing. I take what I know about how they express themselves and apply it to the writing needed for a project to create the voice for it. 

​​

Will I be charged extra if you are unfamiliar with my subject?

Usually no. Research is needed for any project and is factored into the quote. 

 

How many projects do you have going at once?

I work on one full-length project at a time. My clients have my complete attention and full-time dedication during their project’s development. 

​

How long does it take to write a novel?

It usually takes six to eight months to write and revise 100,000 words from a fully formed idea.

 

How will you deliver the installments of my book?

We will create a schedule based on when you want to receive work.

 

What can I expect if I want to cancel or postpone our arrangement?

Arrangements may be canceled or paused at any time you wish. In the case of altering our planned arrangement, I am paid only for the work I have completed at the time of notification.

 

How often can I expect to communicate with you?

You can reach me at any time.

 

What is your response time?

Typically, within an hour. If it's urgent, call me.

​

 

 

What happens if I want to make changes to my idea?

If you want to make changes to your outline after we've begun, we'll have a call to talk about them. Generally, there's no extra cost to make changes pertaining to unwritten work that does not affect completed sections. If you wish to make substantial changes, this may lead to a later completion date. An additional fee is moot, depending upon the work involved.

 

What services do you provide?

I offer full editorial services - consulting, writing, doctrine, revising, editing, and proofreading. I can solicit your manuscript to agents or publishers or set you up for digital sales. These services are separate from the writing of the book.

 

May I read a sample arrangement?

Yes. I email sample arrangements upon request.

 

Can I read samples of your work?

Yes. I email work samples upon request.

 

What style guide do you use?

I use MLA and refer to Perdue’s Writing Lab. If you have a preferred style guide you want me to use, I'll use it.

 

What is your niche?

My niche is creative writing. My background is in poetry and fiction and extended to include nonfiction, essays, memoirs, and genre work.

 

What do you need from me to get started?

Since I work from your ideas, I need to understand the vision you have for your book. If you have notes or written work for your idea, I'd like those sent to me before the interviews begin.

 

How long have you been ghostwriting, and how did you get involved? 

My first ghostwriting project was in 2009 when I was asked to doctor a film script. 
 

Do you travel to meet with clients?

Yes, when asked to.

​

How would you like to be paid?

I ask for 20% of a project’s cost to get started and payment for chapters made the same day they are turned in. I accept payment through Venmo, Stripe, Zelle, direct deposit, and by check.
