Are you an "Internationalpreneur" on a mission in life? If you're not, perhaps you should be in these turbulent times. Writing a book on your life's purpose or Mission furthers your mission by educating and raising public awareness. I can help you turn your thoughts and feelings into the right words that elevate personal experience to universal connotation. A published book can make a difference in a beneficial and meaningful way to society. Maybe you've lived your life according to your own set of values and not necessarily those of "The Joneses" or "Keeping Up with the Joneses." Time spent in writing a book about your goal, your mission, and your purpose, is a worthwhile and meaningful time. You listen to a higher purpose that involves not just yourself but that which has implications for humanity and the world around you. Don't underestimate your impact.

Why hire me as your ghostwriter as opposed to another writer? The following story answers this question.
"A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: 'I am blind, please help.'
There were only a few coins in the hat. A woman was passing by. She took a few coins from her purse and dropped them into the hat. She then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. She put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the woman who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized her footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?'
The woman said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.' I wrote 'Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.' "

Experience as both a writer and a professional credentialed ghostwriter for others spans the last 25 years with the United Nations based in Rome and now here in the U.S. Committing to a client to ghostwrite and edit a book manuscript that is to be submitted for publication is a full-time job. It's an Author-Ghostwriter partnership. You supply the details of your Mission or Life Purpose through notes, draft, journal, diaries, tapes - then every effort is made to construct the details into a New York Times Best Seller. But one thing cannot be ignored. You have to have thought through the purpose of your book and mission and have the notes to indicate such. My job is NOT to create your purpose or mission for you; it's to put your Mission into a publishable manuscript based on your notes. You are the author, not me. This is based on an Author-Ghostwriter Agreement we both sign. I submit a formatted professional manuscript, query, and proposal or synopsis to a premier N.Y. City Literary Agency responsible for soliciting manuscripts to the top 5 N.Y. City Publishing Houses: Simon and Schuster, Penguin Random House, MacMillan Publishers, Harper Collins and Hachette Book Group. None of these publishing companies accept unsolicited manuscripts. This #1 NYC & London Literary Agency knows me and I have submitted each of my client's finished manuscripts to them as the Literary Agency of my choice. They also know I represent the United Nations and write about individual's Missions that usually address important and critical issues of the day that a reading audience wants to know about and understand.
I do not claim any royalties or percentage of ownership. You are the sole author. You have 100% ownership and royalty rights on the copyrighted manuscript I create for you based on your notes. If a movie is made from a published manuscript, which has happened with some of my manuscripts after being published as a book, you are still in control of all royalties and ownership. My flat monthly fee is $1800 a month (non-negotiable) during the time spent writing, editing and preparing a manuscript for submission for publication consideration. The $1800 retainer is due at time of signing Ghostwriter-Author Agreement. Subsequent monthly payments of $1800 each are due on the date of contract signing each month until the manuscript is completed and ready to be sent to the Literary Agency. Every effort is made to adhere to Deadlines agreed upon in Agreement in order to minimize cost. A typical 250 pg formatted manuscript is considered an average book and takes me 4 months minimum to write, edit and format a manuscript Draft into a final edited version. That is a full-time 8-hour a day job (minimum); try dividing $1800 by 160 hours and what do you get per hour? That's $7200 for ghostwriting and formatting an average book manuscript of 250 pages. The submission package to the N.Y. Literary Agency I submit is compiled as per the agent's requirements and takes the final fourth month to complete. (If your book exceeds 250 pages, it will take additional months so be flexible. I submit your finished manuscript for publication consideration at no extra cost and a published book is money in the bank.
If you have any doubt as to my fee being a reasonable price for a professional credentialed (PhD; published) ghostwriter to charge, just Google the term "ghostwriter" and you will see that professional ghostwriter fees start at $25,000 and the typical charge for a 250 page manuscript is between $30,000 to $60,000 and they want 50% up front. Many ghostwriters work for an agency who employs hundreds of ghostwriters. You're paying the agency a fee as well as the ghostwriter, whom you most likely will never meet but you should ask about credentials.
You supply your notes, as in - journal writing, diaries, tapes, etc. as a basis on which the manuscript draft is to be created. Your notes act as a "roadmap" for the manuscript's content; then I create the manuscript, as in strategy, conflict, plot, theme, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution, required dialogue and development of characters. These are all elements in creative non-fiction as well as fiction based on fact. You don't have to worry about how to implement any of these required elements of a manuscript. That's my job. It's a craft, an art form that takes years to perfect, first as an in-house writer for the U.N. World Food Program in Rome, Italy and as a Professor of Writing at John Cabot University in Rome.
Published in three countries- Italy, Switzerland and the U.S. and as a former Writer in Residence for the United Nations based in Rome, Italy I have had the privilege of ghostwriting manuscripts for entrepreneurs, politicians, international diplomats and Foreign Heads of State, as well as family and friends, scientists, medical doctors, physicists, astronauts, geeks, teachers, caregivers...each and every one has made an invaluable contribution in his or her own way to humanity through his or her personal story. If you are serious about your Mission and interested in having a professional ghostwriter help you write a book on the subject, email me today answering this ad. I only take on one client at a time. It would be a pleasure to meet and discuss your idea for a book that will be constructed on a level of universal interest and appeal. It's my privilege - my Mission - to turn your thoughts and feelings into inspiration for others.
I reside on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands off Washington State. I have had clients up and down the West Coast, across the U.S. (Washington D.C.) and international clients as well. All my clients are invited here to Orcas Island for a face-to-face meeting whenever possible, however, it is not required.
