Pricing
Right around now, you probably want to know what this will cost you.
I don’t set a fixed price for writing or developing a book proposal or manuscript. I look at every project individually, consider the work we have ahead, and price from that perspective.
Instead, let me show you some client scenarios to give you a sense of not only what the price tag is, but what value I deliver.
-
Three Book Proposals: In the past year, I've written three book proposals that drew offers from one or more literary agents within a month of submission. My standard fee for writing a book proposal (including sample chapters) is $22,000.
-
A Philanthropist’s Memoir: After decades of vast social impact, he wanted to create a legacy memoir for his family. He hired me to write his manuscript and produce a high-quality, limited-edition book. He has now fulfilled his dream of keeping his voice alive for future generations. He paid me $175,000.
-
Author Seeking Pitching Support: An author contacted me just as she was about to start pitching her book to literary agents, inquiring if I could help her. I told her I would answer her questions, review her materials, and set her course for success at $3,000 for a block of ten hours.
Each client and each book is unique, so contact me to find out more about packages and pricing.
I live and work in the San Francisco Bay Area. If you're in the area, give me a shout and let's meet for coffee.
If we can’t swing a face-to-face meeting, just shoot me an email about your project, or click on the link to message me now. Really, what do you have to lose?
