Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose Write For You?

Unlike other publishing companies that charge high fees, contract with you to buy boxes of books, and take away creative licensing from the author, Write For You leaves your magic with you! We offer services you can utilize, but we don’t charge a large fee for using our services. All prices are based on what each client needs - you don’t pay for what you don’t need. Want a book cover and formatting? You’ve got it! Only need book editing? No problem! We don’t funnel your payments through us - we are here to assist you in self-publishing your book and guide you in the next step without taking your creative style or book rights from you. Write For You is run by a creative and author, so we understand the importance of keeping your style and personality in your book!

What is a ghostwriter?

Ghostwriting is a writer for hire who writes a novel or book for your business, personality, or profile. A ghostwriter takes your ideas, instructions, and content and creates a well-organized chapter book for your particular platform. The ghostwriter can have credit (as in a byline for the article) for a co-author position or remain anonymous.

What types of services does a ghostwriter provide?

You can hire a ghostwriter to create any content. However, most people think of ghostwriters when they want assistance writing their first or next book. Even if you’re a new author, you can hire a ghostwriter to write and edit your first book! Many people hire ghostwriters to assist them with completing the books they have already started. A great ghostwriter also plays the role of book coach, working with you to achieve the highest-quality content possible for your fan base. Write For You is glad to assist you in ghostwriting your next non-fiction novel, ebook, or paperback novel.

What ghostwriting and publishing services does Write For You offer?

Write For You will meet you where you are in the writing process with one of our Write For You Ghostwriting Programs. Whether you’re a creator with a blog, podcast content, articles you’ve written, or a great non-fiction book idea, we will pick up your project and move it along efficiently! In addition to writing your book, we also provide book editing, book formatting, book cover design, and putting together a book marketing plan (though we do not print books). We also refer clients to independent book publishers who can print specialty books and other print options which Amazon does not offer. Check out our Ghostwriting services web page to find out more today!

What are the fees to publish under Write For You?

Since we customize each package for our clients, we don’t list our specific fees for most services that we offer. For example, book editing is priced according to genre, type of editing, and word count. Ghostwriting and editing clients can publish their book under Write For You Publishing if they so choose. If you are not a client of Write For You, you can publish under our name for a fee of $995 as we read through each manuscript to ensure the book meets the guidelines, genre, and values of our company.

Do I need to have an idea to write a book with Write For You?


While you don’t have to know what your book is specifically going to be about, or what focus your book content will be about, you will need a basic idea of the topic you would like to write and self-publish your book. For example, “I’d like to write a book about how to invest in real estate” is a topic you can start with for our initial meeting. We will sort out your book content, focus, and niche in our first book coaching or consultation call. Book a Discovery Call today!

What are your ghostwriting options?

I customize each package for my clients, so each contract and project will look a little different. However, there are two main options to hire me for ghostwriting your book. First, I offer the Done for You program. With this option, we will meet to discuss your book focus, outline your book, and set up folders so you can upload your content. Then, we meet once a month to discuss progress and next steps. I write your content, and this is a mostly hands-off process for clients. This is priced per project. Find a Discovery Call time for us to chat about your book.

I also offer a monthly ghostwriting package that includes writing, editing, and book coaching. We meet monthly to discuss your book, I answer your publishing questions, and we meet each month until your book is finished. Clients can choose a monthly package for five or ten hours. You can use my services (writing, editing, and book coaching) in this monthly package. Any hours you don’t use are rolled over into the next month. 


Can I use your publishing services if I already have a book written?

Yes! If you have a book that is self-written and edited and you’re looking for formatting or book cover design, then let’s talk. Book a Discovery Call today!


Do you offer special pricing on your publishing services for ghostwriting clients? 

I do offer special pricing on formatting services for ghostwriting and book editing clients. 

Is it essential to edit my book professionally before I publish my book?

Yes! If you want to be viewed as a professional, your self-published work must have an editor. Without an editor, you can easily miss key grammar and organizational editing errors, making you look unprofessional. If you’re serious about your career and book, you need to hire a book editor to ensure your book’s professional appearance.

Do you have a community of writers I can join?

Absolutely! Our community is free and would love to have you as a member! I'd love to get to know you better! Please join our community chat where writers support each other daily. Once you're in, share your win of the week and tell us about the writing project you're currently working on. Seeing your progress and celebrating your victories—big or small—brings our community together and inspires everyone on their own journey.

Do you have a membership for writers?

Yes! Publishing for Professional membership gives you access to our member vault with videos and free downloads you can access at any time. You also have access to free courses in your membership. Make sure to head over to the Membership page to find out more!

What courses do you have for members?

What is SEO?

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. In short, SEO is how easily a person searching online can find your website. You can optimize your website to achieve higher rankings in search engine results. When more searches land on your website, your website address increases in value to search engines and gets more traffic.

What is the purpose of SEO?

SEO has two main functions. First, your SEO stats help you understand what users search for online. With this information, you can create high-quality content they search for online. The second function of SEO is to help you create a website that search engines can find, index, and search its content.

Why is SEO important to my website?

SEO can help you get focused and targeted traffic from search engines with a podcast, website, or online store. Using SEO practices is a great way to increase the quality of your website while making your company website user-friendly, faster, and easier to navigate. In addition, clients will find what they are looking for when searching the internet if you have good SEO for your website.

Do you offer social media services?

We do not offer social media services. However, we can refer you to a professional social media specialist.

What is digital marketing?

Digital marketing uses digital avenues like email, blog posts, website content, lead magnets, ebooks, and social media to promote and sell your products or services. We suggest starting with the most basic forms of digital marketing, such as an email newsletter.

What is a digital marketing plan?

A digital marketing plan lays out which types of digital marketing you will undertake when you publish your digital advertising and the content you post.

Should I start a podcast?

Great question! I often get this question from professionals in my network looking to expand their reach and presence.


If you have a business that provides a service or online course or promotes a book, platform, or brand that does not have geographic boundaries, then a podcast can be a great way to reach your niche audience worldwide. In addition, podcasts are a great way to educate your followers and promote your company through your midroll ad on your podcast.

How much does it cost to start a podcast?

Podcasting is a relatively easy market to jump into - you don't have to be a celebrity or be affiliated with a media company to start a podcast. You need a computer, microphone, headphones, and an audio editing program! You can also use a service to fast-track your podcast idea and launch your podcast in less than 30 days. So, if you're looking to start a podcast and want more information on a podcast production company, we are happy to refer you to one of our awesome podcast production partners!
