WHY a Certified Ghostwriter? We start the process with a free consultation via Zoom, Skype, or in person in the Milwaukee area. If you already have a manuscript, our official starting place is a Manuscript Analysis & Recommendation. A CGW Manuscript A&R answers these questions: + Is my manuscript ready for publishers and/or readers? The Manuscript A&R is invaluable and spells out the answers to these questions. The A&R is your blueprint to finish, publish, and market your book successfully. Allow 2 to 4 weeks. $500. Cost will be credited against ghostwriting fees, should you decide to go that route.
