Non-Fiction Self-Help Book Writer
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m looking for a seasoned ghostwriter to transform my concept for a non-fiction, self-help book into a polished manuscript. The core message is personal improvement and actionable guidance; however, the exact sub-topic is still flexible, and I’d like your input during the outlining stage.
Scope of work
• Collaborate with me to refine the book’s angle, target reader, and chapter structure.
• Produce a clear, engaging outline that we both approve before drafting.
• Write the full manuscript with a conversational yet authoritative tone, weaving in research, real-world examples, and practical exercises.
• Provide at least two revision rounds to fine-tune flow, clarity, and reader engagement.
• Deliver a final, proof-read, ready-for-publishing document in Word and PDF.
Ideal background
You’ve previously ghostwritten or authored non-fiction self-help titles, understand storytelling techniques that motivate readers, and can cite credible sources without sounding academic. Familiarity with book formatting tools such as Scrivener or Vellum is a plus.
Timeline
I’d like the outline within two weeks of kickoff and the complete first draft within eight weeks, but I’m open to a realistic schedule that ensures quality.
If you’re passionate about empowering readers and can deliver a compelling, well-structured self-help book, I’m excited to hear your approach and see relevant samples.
