Ghostwriting

Is one of your dreams to be a children’s author?

I’m an award-winning children’s author and ghostwriter specializing in children’s picture books, chapter books, and middle grade. I’m also a former lead editor with 4RV Publishing and fiction staff writer for two reading comprehension sites. Along with this, I’ve self-published and I’m traditionally published, so I know ‘both sides of the coin.’

I’ve helped many individuals, including professionals, ‘write’ children’s books – I’ve helped them become children’s authors.

Fees for ghostwriting vary greatly. There are lots of factors involved, including: type of genre, type of information provided (idea, outline, rough draft, if I need to come up with the idea, etc.), condition of information provided, research, and so on.

To give you some idea:

Picture books under 800 words: from $1,495 (if provided with a usable, detailed outline or rough draft) to $2,995 (if provided with a basic outline or detailed notes). If you have an idea for a story, please ask for a quote.

Chapter book: 2,500 to 10,000 words. Pricing starts at $1,995. My chapter book special is $3,950 for approximately 5000 words, if provided with a usable outline and depending on the complexity of the storyline.

Young middle grade: 15,000 to 25,000 words.

Middle grade: 25,000 to 65,000 words.

Upper middle grade: 65,000 to 85,000 words.

PLEASE ASK FOR A QUOTE. (Quoted prices do not include payment service fees, like those from PayPal.)

If you’d like to discuss a project, please email me at:
kcioffiventrice@gmail.com

You can also CALL me at 347–834–6700 to briefly discuss your project (up to 10 minutes). Just email first to set up a time.

If you’d like a phone consultation (up to 30 minutes), there is a $55 USD fee. If PayPal is used, it’s $58.

If you’d like a Zoom consultation (up to 30 minutes), there is a $75 USD fee. If PayPal is used, it’s $79.

SCAM ALERT

There are ghosting sites that are stealing the profiles of reputable ghostwriters and putting them on their sites. MY SERVICES ARE ONLY OFFERED HERE. If you see my profile on another site stating I work for them, they’re scammers.
