Ghost Writer/Book Writer for 80,000 Word Novel

$2000-3500 USD

Closed
Posted over 9 years ago

$2000-3500 USD

Paid on delivery
I require a writer, a good writer, someone with wit, knowledge and a natural charm. I have an outline for a book. It is a developing idea and it will evolve over time. I will provide the outline, the screenplay, and the meat of the novel so to speak, you will provide the padding, the punctuation and the flesh of the story. It will be 80-90,000 words, four parts, perhaps 10-15 chapters per part. English MUST be your first language, UK, Irish, American,Canadian, New Zealand, Australian Writers etc will be given preference. (Apologies if I've missed out any other Native UK speaking countries). I require your price per 2500 words, milestones will be paid per chapter. Milestones will be paid by this rate. This will also include revisions. Bonus will be paid for outstanding work. You must have had led an unsheltered life to bid for this project as it will include instances of adult movie participation, drug taking and distribution, and also scenes of medium level violence. Although none of this will be graphic and will hopefully have a black comedic undertone, it may still be a little too heavy for some in places. There will also be a small amount of academic writing involved (mainly pharmaceuticals) so be prepared for that (although I am medically trained in the areas of interest so can assist with this). The complete plot outline will not be divulged until the project is accepted, at which point a rights disclaimer will also have to be signed and agreed. Upon project agreement I will be reposting the project according to our agreed terms with a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Although if a sequel is commissioned on the strength of the first published novel the rates for further work will be guaranteed at a minimum of three times the initial novels payment for ghost writing. Further screen play commissions may arise from this idea which will play in the minds of many a 25-45 year old western society gentleman. Again, these will be further negotiable. To some this maybe a little 'Pie in the Sky' but I have developed this in my head for a long time and have not had the time or the ability to put pen to paper and follow it through. I now have a little more time (enough to provide guidance and direction), but not the sort of time required to complete a project like this myself. They say everyone has a novel in them, well this is mine and it not only is a novel, but in my mind a series, a film and a damn load of book sales. If you want to get on board then I look forward to hearing from you. Please ask questions, I may be a little guarded on some but will do my best to appease your questions and concerns. Finally as a qualifying/deciding factor, I may ask you to write 2 pages of my choice if I am torn between a number of bids. I look forward to receiving your bids and interest.

Hello, At the outset, thank you for providing me with the opportunity to place my bid. To introduce myself, I am a ghostwriting veteran with more than 8 years of experience writing books for new and established authors. Essentially, I've written more than 180 books till date in different niche. As an icing on the cake, I am working closely with a US-based publishing house to help them edit and improve their books. Essentially, I'm a native English speaking soul trapped in a non-native body :) So what differentiates me from others? Well, I am an experienced fiction writer. I've led an unsheltered life for 4 months which involved risks, points of indecision, and roller coaster turns. My price for 2500 words will be ~$85. Please take a look at my feedback as a testament to my previous work. I assure creme' dela creme deliverables, 100% quality and 100% commitment. Happy to share samples once I hear from you. I will accept payment via Freelancer milestone only and will start once a milestone is made. You can release it once you are fully satisfied with my work. Thanks and I look forward to working with you. Cheers

We make it our priority to follow guidelines and meet deadlines: they are imperative to ensuring that goals are met and quality assured. Our educational background is in business, marketing, journalism and literature which has proved essential to the development of our management, writing, and promotional skills, as well as our computer knowledge (Microsoft Office). Our already-native English was honed in a professional context, and a large part of the assignments we completed were research-based, which means we are well-versed in virtually every area of writing. Business, health, sales, marketing, literature, legal, and so many others are our specialist topics, though our completed assignments have been extremely varied in themes, and our research skills make us highly-adaptable.

Hello, I would like to tell you a little bit about myself. I graduated from Brigham Young University-Idaho with my Bachelor's Degree in English-Creative Writing. I have written several novels and published one of them. I specialize in fiction with more of an interest in horror and adventure. I am not shy about violence or any adult content. My bid is originally $30 for 2,500 words, but I was unable to bid that low for a 80,000-90,000 word novel. I would love to help you with your novel. Thank you Sregor

I'm very interested in this project. I'd like to know - in vague terms, as I see you're not willing to disclose it in full at the moment - what the book is about. As you can see, English is my first language, and I use it very well. In addition, I definitely haven't led a sheltered life, and I've written about similar subjects to the ones described. And I'm willing to do all the research needed to fill in the gaps in my medical and pharmaceutical knowledge. Finally, I have a background in screenwriting and comics writing (samples are available upon your request), so I would be able to work on the screen adaptation as well. Thanks for your time. —C.S.

I am both worldly and well traveled. I have a reasonable facility with medical terminology and pharmaceutical names as well as their use and side effects. While I do not write pornography, physically graphic writing whether of a sexual or violent nature is easily handled without qualms. My bid to you is per section or part consisting of 10-15 chapters each. Please do feel freely to contact me to ask questions or confirm our mutual understanding of project details. Regards, Caseylau

Hello there! I'm really interested in this project. I am currently an data analyst for a US-based firm, and in the past, I've done some fan fiction writing. I'm an avid reader, mostly novels from a variety of genres, including, romance (which will help with the adult content part), historical fiction, and crime and suspense novels. In addition, I also addicted to procedural TV shows and have an almost unhealthy interest in the workings of criminal empires. This is my first time to bid on a project like this, and I am hoping for an opportunity to write a novel. I am very efficient, and very rarely require deadline extensions. I place great importance on promptly submitting requirements. When there is something I don't understand, I clarify matters right away, to save time for my client and myself. Again, I hope you do consider my application for this project.

Dear Friend: I will not brag of my endeavors other than to say I have written materials for all areas professional, consulting, and personal. I'm interested in your project, and know I can do it. It's that simple. If You want the BEST person for this project...you've found him. All I will say is that you will not be disappointed. Please have a look at my profile for a bit of background information if you like. Also, I was raised in a very poor environment, and all the topics you discussed about this project define "street smarts", which I have plenty of as well. But what's most important, is that I can write well, and I have that creative mind. I've invented a digital communications device used in Cardiology, and sold some units to local hospitals. I'm a man of my word. I take pride in all my work, and I look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship if you would allow me the opportunity. Since much of this work will be creative writing, the price per 2500 words would be approximately $75/USD, but this can be negotiated. I honestly feel some chapters will involve more time and pondering than others, so the costs should not be directly correlated to the amount of words. Thank you always for your time and support...and have a great day ! ! ! Ron

What a honour to meet someone that has the courage to do something so bold, I feel that this would be a great challenge for me. I have been involved in practically everything you mentioned, including in teenage pregnancy and abortion (Just to clarify I am not for this nor am I against this). I feel that I would be a great asset to this new venture of yours and I can't wait to begin working with you.

With a wealth of free time and incredibly rapid typing speed I can easily complete several thousand words in only a couple hours. This makes me an excellent choice for this project if you desire fast, quality results. Also, I can and do perform several steps of editing personally before I ever share anything I write so that's one less step to be overly concerned over. I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois before moving to spend about a decade in Minnesota so English is most certainly my first language. As to the content, I'm certain I can handle it. I'm in the midst of a semi-popular rape and survival story under a pen name elsewhere online (prefer not to disclose for reasons). Doing the math, the milestone for 2500 words would be between $55 and $62 depending on how long the books ends up. Please feel free to message me at any point with any questions or concerns you may have and I shall address them ASAP. Thank you for your time and consideration and I hope to hear back from you.

Hi, I wanted to bid $250 per 2500 words as per your brief but your budget is set to 2000-3500. Is your budget for the entire 80,000 words? I am a native English writer from Australia. Look forward to hearing from you soon. skype me at radforms1973
