Ghostwriter in the Mystery/Suspense Genre
Due to the challenging economic times, and that we need more cozies in this world, I'm reducing my fees by up to 25%. Motivated to explore mystery ghostwriting opportunities maximizing my skills as a novelist. Interested primarily in longer works and book series. Adept at writing in a variety of styles as befits the audience. Professional and efficient. Proficient at completing large projects with superior time management and organization skills. Thrive in a high pressure, deadline oriented environment. My rate as an expert ghostwriter is $.03/word. For this, the client will receive (at no additional cost): Before writing: 1) Chapter by chapter book outline 2) Complete character development 3) Any research required for setting or details Upon completion: 1) Proofreading for grammar, spelling, and typos 2) Editing for plot and character consistencies 3) Publish ready polishing I have ghostwritten over thirty novels in the last five years. Many of these have gone straight to publication. I have had several clients for over six months while we complete four or five book series of cozy mysteries. One final note: Sorry but I do not write romances. I am a Cozy Mystery Writer with some experience in action/adventure, conspiracy, and post-apocalyptic. I also do not usually write paranormal, unless it is limited in scope. If you are interested in having a high quality cozy mystery series, I look forward to hearing from you.
