• Do you have an idea for book you want to write but don‘t have the time, energy or skills needed to create it?
• Have you tried to write a book yourself but don’t know where to start or continue?
• Perhaps you need my services as either a paid co-author or Ghostwriter?
Nine Benefits of Hiring Me
1. By interviewing you and doing any needed supplemental research I can take your idea and flesh it out so you have a definitive work on the subject.
2. As the first author or main author you are considered an expert on the subject and its authorship may help you enlarge your client base.
3. I can oversee print on demand publishing of your book and thus save you money in the self-publishing process.
4. This method gets your book out on the marketplace faster than waiting for decisions by old style mainstream publishers.
5. I can help you publicize your book by building and maintaining a website from which you can sell copies or refer potential buyers to the listing of your book on Amazon.
6. If you also want the prestige and increased sales that come with mainstream publishing, I can lead simultaneous efforts to have that occur.
7. A track record of successful print on demand self-publishing is considered by many mainstream publishers as evidence that they also would do well by publishing and selling your book. (Mainstream publishers can get your book into national bookstore chains and independent book stores).
8. To expedite landing a mainstream publishing contract, I can craft a book proposal that we can send direct to literary agents or publishing companies. A professionally written, comprehensive book proposal is a blueprint which helps publishers quickly understand the sales potential of your book.
9. It would be a comprehensive book proposal that includes an Overview, an annotated Table of Contents (TOC) in which every chapter is described in depth, a Market Study, and three sample chapter. This comprehensive TOC allows a literary agent and an acquisitions’ editor to very quickly understand what your book is all about and judge its sales potential.
My book writing services are aimed at two audiences:
* Medical doctors and other professionals who need help writing informational or educational books or articles and
* Senior Citizens seeking to leave a written legacy about their lives. As a Personal Historian, I help individuals write their own memoirs/autobiographies and/or "ethical wills," also known as legacy letters. If you are interested in autobiographical types of help please click on the "Biography" tab in the toolbar above for further information about that type of writing help.
Reasons to Hire Me
The first reason to hire me is to benefit from my extensive experience. My work for professional audiences has included writing with co-authors and ghostwriting both books and articles. I have authored and co-authored the books listed on these pages and have also written articles for the readers of a diabetes website: http://www.brightsky.com/web/users/resources-diabetes, www.Docguide.com, Family Practice News, Geriatric Times, WebMD, and many other medical trade publications. To see my Docguide.com articles for physicians just click the Articles link at the top of the column on the right. If you are a medical doctor or professional person, I mention these facts to assure you I have the experience and credentials to help you.
A second reason to hire me is I have the background knowledge and training to tackle practically any technical subject. Over the years I have learned that success doesn't just happen. One has to work hard and smart. I promise you my best efforts.
Here are the services I offer:
