Free The Truth About Book Writing, Being an Author by Writing

written word in its more elegant form, ideally chosen and perfectly combined for impact. This is valuable to a culture and can change the way societies think about things and look at life.
    This is powerful to an author! Imagine being able to cause a trend or change the direction of an eroding situation! Imagine being able to influence others to live happier, more rewarding lives? Think of something you’d like to cause, and realize that with a great book writer, you can set the stage to make that happen! As mentioned earlier, this is serious business!
    This ability to craft effective communication allows people to share their thoughts, plans, ideas … with thousands and even millions of other people, without misunderstanding, without loss of concept in translation!
    Great writers allow the emotions of one to be felt and experienced by everyone else!
    How valuable is that? What a great writer can do with the written word is more valuable than any diamond or rare, precious metal. A great writer and an author with a great idea or purpose is an invaluable and powerful combination for mankind!
    But as there needs to be a realistic fee attached to book writing, here is a rough guideline that is very useful in determining a “fair exchange” rate for the services of a talented writer.
    There can be a set fee, but as a rule of thumb, great writers get between $225 and $350 per written manuscript page. 5 Good Writers get between $125 and $200 per page.
    The reason for the “range” in the per page fee is mainly as a gage for measuring production in an author-writer relationship.
    There are two main book writing arrangements— a collaboration or a ghost write.
    Benefits To The Writer Can Lower Fees
    The writer’s fee can be influenced by what benefits s/he is given. A writer will sometimes lower their fee from their normal rate—if the benefit is important or valuable enough to give up part of their immediate livelihood.
    Things like the percentage of profits/royalties, copyright sharing, etc., will sometimes convince a writer to lower their normal rate. These things are what mainly create the price ranges listed earlier.
    Flat fees can work out well, as long as the author client understands that such a fee is based on a certain number of pages, and if the original scope of the project lengthens beyond a certain percentage, a new fee will need to be negotiated.
    Depending on things like the length of a book in pages, its topic and other circumstances, a book can have an average investment of anywhere between $35,000 to $85,000. The amount will be higher for an in-demand best-selling book writer or celebrity to figures of $100,000 to $250,000 and much higher.
    And just like you can have a car to drive that costs $29,000, you can also have a car that costs $300,000. It depends on what you want. Similarly, you get out of a writer what you invest for one. And the rewards pay off very well, whether it’d be in the fine car or the talented writer. The benefits are there.
    These questions arise at this point ...
    Are you willing to take your book project seriously, treat it like the business venture it really is and go for the real potential that’s there? Do you want a book that will make a significant impact, or something that makes no affect?
    Speak to an author who has a failed book and I’ll bet s/he tells you they “got a great deal on a writer.”
    All is Not Lost if You Can’t Afford a Professional
    As it would never be a good choice to have your book written by a nonprofessional because their price is lower, there has to be other favorable options for achieving your goals while staying within the level of quality that you have to have for achieving your goals and successes.
    It may seem like savvy shopping to get your book done at a “low price.” But things like parachutes, brakes, brain surgeons and book writers, just to name a few, it’s just the opposite. You, of all people, do not want to have sour grapes by
