Today, I'd like to write about Ghostwriter Sticker Shock.
Here's what happens: I have a wonderful call with a potential client.
We connect about their story and vision for their book; I explain my process and how I'd approach their unique project. I talk about the value of doing a writing sample ahead of time and we explore some timelines.
Everyone is excited.
Then comes the fee talk.
I am an incredible value. And yet, the number itself can be pretty eye-opening no matter how it is broken up, and I want to publicly (and regularly) acknowledge this fact.
I understand that premium book ghostwriting services from an author with twenty years of experience are not for everyone.
📖 Creating a book generally requires an intense, six to ten months-long relationship.
📖 It requires sensitivity, skill, flexibility, intuition and responsiveness.
📖 It's a big deal, the work we'll do together.
📖 The book has to be excellent, and the process itself should be fun.
And it is. But first comes the sticker shock moment. Yeoh!
Have you experienced Ghostwriter Sticker Shock?
What can I do to help?
Love, Laura
