World class, confidential book writing services.
Welcome to ManuscriptMan.com! We help authors write or improve their book manuscripts, with total confidentiality. That’s it. You may wonder about the process. Let’s discuss that!
The process of working with the client
It all begins with a phone call or a message. You’ll be conversing directly with the owner. Tell him about your book idea. The consultation is free. We have many excellent, accomplished ghostwriters under contract. He will recommend a writer, then put you and the ghostwriter in direct contact. Your consultation with that recommended person is also free. You and the writer will then go into detail on what you have at present, whether it’s an idea still in your head, an outline, or a partial manuscript. You can find our published ghostwriting rates here, but the writer does have the freedom to charge a different rate or even a flat rate. You two will work out the payment scenario, ownership of the work, and delivery date. It’s likely that the writer will need to interview you by phone, Zoom or FaceTime. You will be approving the work in stages to minimize any need for extensive rewriting at the end.
Publishing your book
To get your idea for a book into print, it first needs to be put in manuscript form. Once the manuscript is completed, then it’s time to find a publisher to design, manufacture and distribute the book. A literary agent can save you a lot of heartache by representing your manuscript to commercial publishers. Agents know who publishes what, and publishers like working with agents. They take about 10% of whatever deal they get for you as payment. If you’re going to self publish using a print-on-demand service, that’s great and you’ll save a lot of time. It’s the same with making an ebook.
The difference between “book” and “manuscript”
It’s common for the word “manuscript” to be confused with the word “book.” However, they are not the same in the professional world. While the story and words in a manuscript and book are the same, the book is the published version of the double-spaced manuscript. When a writer sits down to pound a keyboard, their completed work is the first draft of the manuscript. During the writing phase, the manuscript is the working document that the writer creates with the intention of being published. Not all manuscripts get published. Some authors will write a manuscript to keep for themselves or to pass down to family members.
A manuscript can be published as a novel, a memoir, self help, or it can be non-fiction, business, or on military history. The possibilities are endless. It all depends on the client’s goals.
Structural considerations for the manuscript
Some who have a great idea for a book jump right and start writing, but there are certain structural components to adhere to if you want to produce a solid manuscript, and that will have a better chance of getting published. Ghostwriters know how to correctly write a manuscript. If you hire us to do the writing, then writing to conform to publishing requirements is on us, not you.
Professional manuscripts are written using the 12-point New Times Roman font and they are always double-spaced. There is just one space after a period, no blank lines between paragraphs, and paragraphs are indented. The pages of a manuscript are numbered, and it should be saved as a document. In final draft form, it’s ready to go to the publisher.
