Fuck That and Forgive

Two best friends drive through the night to beat a snowstorm. One falls asleep in the back of the car. The other falls asleep at the wheel. The driver walks away practically unscathed. The passenger never walks again. And they are best friends to this day.

Beauty

The church has sold us plenty of lies concerning women, their worth, and how it ties to their outward appearance. It's time to break free of these false narratives and step into God's original design for your life. 

 

Turtle Soup is Enough

You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. This memoir plumbs the depths of faith and suffering, wrestling with the age-old question: if your faith in God is relational, how can you reconcile that relationship when it feels like God stands by as your whole world falls apart?

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, I am always thrilled to meet my clients in person, as I feel it adds a depth to their manuscript that may not otherwise show through. Travel fees are not included in the packages and will be charged on top of the package price.

Are you willing to travel and conduct in-person interviews?

Some do, but I don’t. In my opinion, if you commission a ghostwriter to produce your manuscript, that manuscript becomes your property. Your stories, ideas, passions, and experiences belong to you. So does your book.

Do ghostwriters receive royalties on the books they write?

Amazon defines a bestseller as the top 100 books sold in their categories during a ninety-minute period. It is possible to be a bestseller in multiple categories, multiple times a week. My marketing team researches your Amazon categories extensively before publication to categorize your book in low competition categories. We couple that strategy along with sending thousands of proposals to libraries and bookstores two weeks before your publication date. Bookstores normally agree to buy books in bulk and buy on the date of publication, when the title becomes available. This allows your book to sell several copies in one ninety-minute period.

We also set up a preorder link to your book so people can purchase your book before it releases at a discounted rate. Preorders only compete with other preorders, so this lessens the competition as well. We couple this strategy by advertising the preorder link in my newsletter and on your socials during the same ninety-minute period.

Packages with a bestseller status guarantee require a preliminary interview. Not every book idea can be a bestseller on Amazon.

How can you guarantee bestseller status in some of your packages?
