HIRE ME

My rates vary depending on what work you want done, how much of a book, blog or other project you already have, and how long the book is.

Will you need people interviewed? This is something we’ll talk about before I send you a proposal. So, prices are all over the place depending on many things.

The more you have done, or the more files and information you have, the less the cost may be. In general:

GHOSTWRITING

Google rates for ghostwriters. Don’t just choose one based on price, but on one or more interviews via phone or Zoom.

Reedsy.com’s site suggests the following:

  • Nonfiction books: $6,500–$42,000
  • Novels: $3,500–$16,000
  • e-books: $500–$5,000
  • Upload cover and manuscript to Amazon’s KDP and create your author page: $350 (while publishing your book on KDP is free, the process of uploading and creating an author page is what costs you. You can do it yourself for free.)
  • Formatting your manuscript: $100 to $1,500.
  • Basic Formatting: Prices typically start at $100-$300 for straightforward, no-frills formatting.
  • Standard Formatting: For more comprehensive Formatting (both ebook and print), the range is around $400-$800.
  • Custom Formatting: Complex books with a design factor or multiple images may cost between $800 and $1,500 or more, depending on specific needs.

This, and other sources, are what I base my writing on.

I work for $75 to $150 an hour, depending on what you need.

The price varies as my billable hour — for $150 an hour, for example, includes non-billable time apart from writing for setting up interviews, podcasts, or transcription.

$75 an hour is straight writing.

WRITING COACH

$150 an hour, includes a recording of our interview, plus a transcript, and summary of our time together.

$100 an hour includes an hour of coaching time. You may record our conversation from your end.

TESTIMONIALS

Various Projects

“Becky and I worked together on various projects while at different companies.  She demonstrated again and again how well she can pick up her clients’ stories and mold them into copy that stands out in many ways. It’s no wonder that her writing has been recognized by many best-selling authors like Dan Pink (former speechwriter for US Vice President Al Gore) or Seth Godin (Permission Marketing; Tribes; Founder of Squidoo and the Domino Project). 

Becky Blanton’s writing is so special because of her enormous experience in all aspects of life (good ones and bad ones). I mean, she knows life not from TV but from the real thing. And that definitely shows in her writing and in her business coaching.
