FAQ:

 

Q: How do I know you are a good writer if you can't tell me what books you have ghostwritten? 

A: A perfectly acceptable question to ask. I will edit a free sample for you up to 3,000 words or I will ghostwrite a free sample for you up to 1,000 words. 

 

Q: Will you sign an NDA? (None Disclosure Agreement)

A: Yes, after reviewing its contents and making sure it is up to industry standards. 

 

Q: Do you work for royalties on a published book?

A: Only if the client already has a book deal with a publisher. If not, which is more often the case, I only accept payment before/during the writing process of writing/editing the book. 

 

Q: Are there contracts involved? 

A: There will probably be an NDA involved as well as a contract written up by me outlining the submission and payment process. I will write a contract based on your timeline needs. 

 

Q: What genres do you write in?

A: I write in most genres excluding erotica, horror, and some sub categories of mystery. I will also not write any business, health, medical, or any other nonfiction book unless it is a memoir or poetry. 

 

Q: What tools and software do you use?

A: I use Word or Google Docs for writing and editing. 

 

Q: Do you offer formatting services for Kindle and ebook?

A: No, only writing and editing. 

 

Q: How do I get answers to a question I don't see asked here?

A: Feel free to contact me via my contact form with your questions. 

 

Q: What is the first thing we do if I want to hire you?

A: We can set up a time for a phone or zoom call to discuss a contract, your needs, and where to go from there. Not every writing/editing process fits every author. We will work together according to where you are at in your book creating process!
