Who we are
A ghostwriter started this for people hiring one
He has written for Baseball Hall of Famer Dave Winfield, NFL broadcaster Pat Summerall, David Pottruck when he ran Charles Schwab, Michael Gerber of The E-Myth, and the FBI agent who went undercover inside the Gambino family and took down its top thirty-two members. That last one, Making Jack Falcone, reached the New York Times list, ran on 60 Minutes, and was optioned by Paramount for Steven Soderbergh.
More about Michael →Everything between you and your writer happens here
The quote. Your writer proposes a fixed price, split into stages, before anyone signs.
The files. Chapters as they arrive, and the material the book is drawn from.
The messages. One thread per book. We email you when your writer replies.
The money. Funded a stage at a time, and held until you approve.
The money moves at the speed of the manuscript
You pay for the outline when the outline arrives, the draft when the draft arrives. In between, the money sits held, and your approval is what gets it released.
AN EXAMPLE CONTRACT, MID-FLIGHT
$27,000 of $78,000
