40+ years experience in ghostwriting, editing, and proofreading. I have been a publisher all these years and have successfully brought between 800 and 1,000 books to the marketplace, some selling 5,000 copies and some selling 500,000 copies. *** I put an hourly rate in the box, but absolutely prefer to work by the word, and as a fixed fee quote for an entire project. That is, if you have an idea for a 50,000 word book, I will set my fixed fee for 50,000 words complete...ghostwriting, editing, proofing. *** Additional service available...formatting and laying out to publishing standards so your book is ready to ebook or print. Same per word calculation. *** Additional service available... I can arrange for everything from pre-sale promotion, media, PR, and reviews to actual selling, marketing, and bulk selling of your book. Thank you.
