Package Deliverables:

This package includes all of the deliverables from our Personal Brand Development Package, and all of the deliverables from our Publishing Package, as well as the complete planning, interviewing, ghostwriting, editing, and proofreading of your ghostwritten nonfiction book.

The process and deliverables for the ghostwriting component of this package are:

• A 1-hour Vision & Strategy Session with Krista Clive-Smith

• Two one hour Book Blueprint Sessions with one of our Developmental Editors

• Creation of a written outline and table of contents for your book (unlimited revisions)

• Six to twelve 90-minute weekly book content interviews (depending on the intended length of your manuscript)

• A completely ghostwritten manuscript written in YOUR unique voice (delivered in two drafts, with revisions between drafts)

• Detailed developmental and copy editing, with adherence to The Chicago Manual of Style (17th Edition) and Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (11th Edition)

• Delivery of final manuscript to our Merack Publishing team for publishing

During your initial Vision & Strategy Session, you can determine whether you’d like to start with the Personal Branding or the Book Blueprint elements of your package first.

Please note: Manuscript page count is calculated in single-spaced, 12-pt. font size. The average total timeline from the Book Blueprint Session to Book Launch is 8 months for the largest size book, though the total timeline may vary due to the author’s speed and the timing of the reading and review process in between drafts.
