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 young middle-grade. I’m also a former lead editor with 4RV Publishing and a fiction staff writer for two reading comprehension sites. Along with this, I’ve self-published and was 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: genre category, 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):
Pricing starts at $1,495 (if provided with a usable, detailed outline or rough draft) to $2,995 (if provided with a basic outline or detailed notes).

CHAPTER BOOKS (2,500 to 15,000 words):
Pricing starts at $1,995.

My chapter book special is $3,595 for approximately 5,000 words, if provided with a usable outline, and depending on the complexity of the storyline.

YOUNG MIDDLE GRADE (15,000 to 25,000 words):
Pricing starts at $5,595, if provided with a usable outline, and depending on the complexity of the storyline.

Whichever category you’d like ghostwritten, if you have an idea for a story or it’s a specialty story (rhyming, mystery, educational, or dealing with anxieties/health issues), the pricing may be higher. Please ask for a quote.

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

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.
