Accepting writers

Work with us

We publish the guides that people read while deciding to hire a ghostwriter. When they’re ready, somebody has to actually write the book. That could be you.

1

Tell us what you write

Genre, typical project size, availability, and a sample chapter you can share with prospective clients.

2

We send matched enquiries

Only projects that fit your genre and rate band, with the client’s stage, budget and timeline attached.

3

You pay only on signed work

No listing fee, no subscription, no per-lead charge. A referral fee applies when an introduction becomes a project.

What we look for

  • At least three completed book-length projects, ghostwritten or credited
  • A full sample chapter you can share — not a portfolio excerpt
  • A contract that assigns copyright to the client and uses milestone payments
  • One past client willing to speak to a prospect
  • Rates in line with the market: roughly $0.75–$2.00 per word for non-fiction

Questions

Before you apply

What does it cost to receive leads?

Nothing up front. You pay a referral fee only when an introduction becomes a signed project. No subscription, no listing fee, no pay-per-lead.

What kind of projects come through?

Mostly memoir and family legacy books in the $12,000-$40,000 range, business and thought-leadership books in the $45,000-$150,000 range, and a steady trickle of developmental editing work on half-finished manuscripts.

How are leads qualified?

Every enquiry comes through a four-question quiz covering project stage, book type, budget band and timeline, plus whether they need in-person work. You see that context before you decide whether to take the introduction.

Do I have to be exclusive?

No. Most writers on the list have their own pipeline and take referrals to fill gaps.
