FAQs
If I work with a ghostwriter, am I still the author?
Absolutely, yes you are the author with your name on the book cover. Your book is your intellectual property, authority, experience, and story. I am not listed as the author. However, I do appreciate it when clients thank me in the acknowledgments.
How long does it take to write a book?
Typically, 6-12 months. Dr. Cindy can work faster and has completed a book in 2 months, but it’s more customary for the author to want to take time and reflect on the choices.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. You may pay in full or make monthly payments that follow the length of time we agree upon for your project, i.e. six payments over six months.
Do you partner with authors?
I always consider myself a partner with my clients and work tirelessly to help you be successful… but, I am paid at the time I do the work (no ghostwriting on spec). This also means you keep all your royalties on book sales.
Do you also edit the book?
Yes, my ghostwriting package includes developmental editing and line editing. However, I suggest engaging a copy editor or proofreader to find the grammar errors and typos.
What else would I need to think about for self-publishing?
You may work with a hybrid publishing company to publish your book for you, and I have an excellent referral my clients have enjoyed working with. Or do-it-yourself and project manage contractors to do specialized tasks. At the least, you’ll want to work with someone to typeset your manuscript, a book cover designer to make your book look professional, and a copy editor.
I don’t know if I should self-publish or try to publish commercially.
If you don’t have a very large and engaged audience, it’s difficult to attract a book agent for non-fiction and self-help books. I would suggest that you consider self-publishing AND start building your audience now so you have someone to sell it to when your book is finished.
If you do have a large and engaged audience and want to work with a traditional publisher, I can help you prepare a book proposal and create a strategy for querying literary agents.
