Ghostwriting is not new. And ghostwriting is not rare. In fact, it's estimated that some 80% of nonfiction titles on the New York Times bestseller list were written with a ghostwriter's help.

Why should I hire a ghostwriter?

Why hire a ghostwriter indeed!

Unless you have the time, energy, skill, and passion for writing, it's easy to see why someone might hire out a job that is often arduous, lonely, and that requires a certain skillset.

Still, many prefer to write their own books fully, and those people should be praised. But the vast majority of us don't do everything ourselves, and when it comes to the mammoth task of writing a book, it often makes sense to hire some help.

How much does it cost to hire a ghostwriter?

We now come to the nitty-gritty: what should you expect to pay to hire someone to ghostwrite your full-length nonfiction book?

While costs do vary depending on the length and complexity of a book project and the experience and caliber of the ghostwriter, you can expect to pay anywhere between $25,000 and $75,000 to hire a ghostwriter to write a 200+ page book.

Clearly, hiring a ghostwriter is an investment, but one that is well worth the cost, if you find the right ghostwriter!
