    Hello Mr. Waldron, My quote is $150 per 100 words, negotiable. I am a renowned business writer with extensive experience in writing about almost every topic imaginable. I am fast, reliant, professional and communicative; but most importantly, I write brilliantly and have never finished a job without a supremely happy client. Feel free to contact me for references or samples, or just to ask questions. Have a lovely day! Cheers, Jas.

    Hi Albertus, The final price for this type of work depends entirely on how much writing you have already completed and how much needs to be done from there. Is it a total rewrite or more a matter of proofing with a bit of editing and some additions, in which case the price may even be less? So depending also on the word count and the amount of work needed I could give you a final quote. I have written many books, from fictional novels to corporate histories for major clients. I will work closely with you, ensuring that you are happy with how the book is proceeding every step along the way. I have been writing professionally for over 30 years and can produce good references and samples of my work on request. Thank you. Chris Kirby-Ryan

    Hi Albertus,

    I have written "Sack Your Financial Planner" (105 pages) and two other books. I am presently ghost writing a book about Billionaires (and habits) for a confidential client (two-thirds done), and I am judging from this that it takes me around four hours to write and edit each chapter. (I am a qualified editor). This may reduce if you have come quite a way with the chapters. In my new business avenue I will be helping folks get their book planned, polished, formatted, and advise on the best large Print on Demand supplier, if applicable.

    You can see the website about this service at jenniferlancaster.com.au. If you are very self-directed, I think we could work well together.

    Regards, Jennifer

    Hello Albertus Obviously my final costing will depend upon how many hours it takes, but my rate is $60 per hour. As a mum of two children, I believe I can write it in the 'voice' you are looking for. I have also had several years of experience taking complex medical information and putting it into a form that the lay person can understand, so will be able to use that skill with financial information. A few questions: Roughly how many words are we talking about? Do you have content that you need re-written or will the content need to be researched? (I charge an extra fee for research) What is your deadline for this book? The amount of time I estimate for this job to be completed will depend upon further information. Look forward to hearing from you Nerissa Bentley Write to the Point Communications writetothepoint@hotmail.com http://www.writetothepointcommunications.com.au https://www.facebook.com/WriteToThePointCommunications http://wordsbynerissa.com http://pinterest.com/nerissabentley/write-to-the-point/

    Hello Albertus - As you've noticed, the quotes here are extremely rough ballpark figures, as it's necessary to work out (a) how much work you've already done, (b) how much research is required, (c) the time frame in which you would like the book manuscript completed and (d) how many words/pages of actual writing are still needed.

    My quote, like the rest, is an extremely broad guess, until we can get together and flesh out the details. Then I will be happy to give you a much more precise (and perhaps cheaper!) quote for your job.

    I am the author and publisher of four books (including one bestseller), and have extensive magazine writing experience as well. What I think we could do in your case (once the extent of the job is firmly established) is to agree on a set rate per word. A per-page rate is less equitable, since you have already done some writing yourself. My normal per-word rate for book ghost writing is @ 18 cents per word (negotiable, of course), which includes all necessary research. I would include two free revisions (proceeding one chapter at a time), with any extra revisions you might want me to make charged at my normal hourly rate of $28 per hour.

    I have been a book author and publisher for over twenty years. I know how to make a book interesting and readable. To be honest, I think this is probably more relevant than any monetary quote I could provide.

    If you would like to have quick look at a recent example of my work, please type 'Remote River Man - Adrift in Guyana' into your search engine.

    I look forward to hearing from you!

    Cheers, Kevin
