A ghostwriter is a trained professional who has expertise in taking on the character of the author, and translating their ideas into the written word. A great ghostwriter won’t just write your book, they’ll write perfectly in your voice, as well as ensuring you that your work together will remain confidential if you wish it to be.

It depends on the length of the book and the experience of the ghostwriter. A ghostwritten book in English from a UK based ghostwriter will cost you anywhere between £10,000-£70,000, depending on the writer’s expertise. Less experienced ghostwriters offering ‘cheap’ deals will not provide books that are of publishing standards, so be careful.

Of course! Most of the top entrepreneurs, celebrities and professionals hire ghostwriters to write their books. You may have an incredible story, and amazing content, but you need the help of a writing expert to turn it into a book.

A book editor improves the manuscript of a book by correcting any errors, making the language natural and understandable, as well as preparing the text for publishing. This may mean that your editor suggests cutting out/adding in parts to the structure of your book to make it flow.

If you’d like your book to be edited by a professional in the UK, it will cost anywhere between £1000 and £20,000. This depends on the length of the book, the duration of the project, the types of edits and the experience of the editor. More experienced, trusted editors charge more than newbies gaining experience.

It depends on the length. A 2000 word ebook may only take 1 week, whereas a full-length 50,000 word+ book may take 6 months to a year. If you have a tight deadline, talk to your ghostwriter/editor. They should be able to help figure out as fast a timeline as possible.

Most editors and ghostwriters do not specialise in getting you a publishing deal. But The White Editorial offers full publishing support and literary representation as part of the price.

When you self-publish, you take full control of the printing and marketing of your book. In traditional publishing, on the other hand, you apply to be published via a literary agent and a book proposal. If they accept, your publishing house will take charge of the printing and marketing for you. This process is free. That said, if you self-publish, you get around 70-95%% of the profit, and in traditional publishing, you will probably receive less than 20% of the profit.

Absolutely, customised packages tailored to individual client needs are available at The White Editorial. Your specific requirements can be discussed in a free 30 minute call to give you a better idea of the cost, as well as the timeline.
