Pricing

Every story is personal. Every project is unique.
For that reason, pricing is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Your final investment is influenced by:

  • The depth of research required
  • The overall length of the project
  • The time and creative commitment involved
  • The urgency of your deadline
  • Whether my role is ghostwriter or co-author

While no two projects are the same, the structure below offers a clear guideline to help you plan with confidence.


Ghostwriting Your Story

Your book deserves focused attention, care, and craftsmanship.
My fee is customised to your project, using the following benchmarks:

Hourly rate: R600.00

Estimated minimum time investment:

  • 30,000–40,000 words: 60 hours
  • 41,000–50,000 words: 85 hours
  • 51,000+ words: Quoted individually

These estimates ensure your story is not rushed—and that your voice, message, and integrity remain intact throughout the process.


Writer’s Coach

Choose any of the five offered options that will best suit your needs.

Perfecting Your Story

Professional editing is available to refine, clarify, and elevate your manuscript:

  • Copy editing: R350.00 per 1,000 words
  • Line editing: R470.00 per 1,000 words
  • Proofreading: R180.00 per 1,000 words

Each service can be booked independently or combined, depending on the level of support your manuscript needs.


Printing Your Story

Printing costs vary depending on word count, book format, paper choice, and production specifications.
All printing services are individually quoted to ensure accuracy and transparency.


Publishing Your Story

Publishing fees depend on the number of platforms you wish to include and the level of support required—from guidance to full execution.

Pricing depends on the following aspects:

  • The amount of research necessary to create the final product
  • The length of the project
  • The time investment it would require to finish
  • The urgency of the deadline
  • Whether I am appointed as a ghostwriter or a co-author
