I have a level 4 diploma (BTEC) in Proofreading & Copy-editing. With 16 of my own books published and nine years of writing and publishing experience. I am passionate to help other writers break through the barriers that prevent them from becoming published authors. For that reason, I now use my 30 years of experience as a youth worker to mentor, support and encourage budding writers.
Ghostwriting: Your Story - Your Life
Each one of us has a great story within us - the story of our lives. When we depart this earth, our stories are all lost and forgotten unless we record them in some form. Your story may not be for public consumption but it is a very special gift to leave for your family. When my mum died, we found the start of her story. The few simple pages inspired me to write, now I write for others.
Imagine the joy of your family when you give them a professionally written and bound, hardback book.
How much do you expect to pay?
Our competitor, Life Book Memoirs will charge you £9,000 + VAT for a 45,000-word book with 60 pictures and you receive 10x copies.
I charge £100/1,000 words + £100/60 pictures + £150/print setup + £15/hardback copy (234mm x 156mm)
Therefore, my cost is £4,900 (no VAT) for the equivalent purchase.
Mentoring:
I am passionate about passing on my knowledge to help fledgling authors. If you have a story that you would like to tell, I will help you to share it in the best possible way for you. I published my first book in 2015 and made many mistakes, costing me money. Since then, I have published 15 more books and could help you to do something similar.
This service is available online at £25 per hour or £135 for 6x one-hour sessions.
Copy-edit and proofread:
An in-depth checking and correcting of any spelling, grammar, style, flow and consistency mistakes.
This is done in MS Word using the tracked changes function, so you stay in control.
This service costs £0.01 per word = £10 per 1,000 words (60,000 words = £600).

Ebook formatting for KDP costs £8 per every 10,000 words, e.g., 50,000 words = £40.
Paperback formatting for KDP and Ingram Spark costs £12 per every 10,000 words, e.g., 50,000 words = £60.
