Description: This story begins in 1999 and is pretty much still going. I have a story to tell, and I think there would be interest. If I told this story using real names/dates/places, the damage would be untold. However, told anonomously I think is ok. Briefly (very briefly!) There is me, involved in a sub-culture of sorts, an alternative lifestyle. BDSM. D/S. S/M. Becoming close friends with some of the main players in this scene. There's all the aspects of this lifestyle.. the drugs, the sex, the parties etc. The parties are extreme. This was my life (my secret life) ... I met someone in the context of this lifestyle. This person is a very senior ranking individual in the police. TThis person that i became involved in has no respect for boundaries or the word "no". this person I believe is a true misogynist. He has no empathy, no sympathy and worst of all no conscience. A dangerous combination. things were done to me, and to do others that are criminal. the details are extremely graphic. the consequences far reaching. I'm looking for someone who might be prepared to work with me on this, it won't be easy and i will need absolute confidentiality. I have no idea if this is even possible, or maybe i'm in the wrong place, if so, thanks for your time in reading this anyway.

This will be tricky for you, picking the right ghost. It's more than just not getting squeamish about the details or shedding light on something terrible. It's about something liberating and wonderful that went wrong, about unraveling complex feelings with deep, riveting honesty. You’re letting readers in on a dirty little secret that was neither little nor dirty and probably felt more natural at times than your day to day life. They need to experience the high that comes with the loss of control, and then be terrified with the realization that that same loss of control can destroy them in the hands of the wrong person. If your story reads like a cautionary tale, it’s ruined. I wish you luck in however you ultimately choose to express what’s inside you. I think its inside more of us than we would admit in polite company. Fee: I charge 10 cents a word, but will negotiate within your budget. I like what your story could be. Hope to hear from you.

Telling people's stories is what I do. I believe truth is stranger than fiction. This story sounds especially fascinating. I think "more than 100 words" is an understatement for this kind of story. How about $100 for the first 2,000 words then $10 per 1,000 words after that. We can discuss prorating it if it ends a quarter, half-way or three-quarters of a way toward the next 1,000 words.

$200 per 1500 words. Depending on what is decidedly written. A winning bid means nothing if the authors cannot produce a story together. I suggest beginning with short increments of the laid out story line. Content is important in building the frame for the entire story.

You and I work on a very detailed outline with a timetable of events. We then come up with a list of questions. I interview and tape you following those questions, and the book is almost done except for the transcription and my expert editing. (Price quoted does not include transcription.) Don't worry about anything graphic. I am very sensitive to you as a person and your needs, and have been a writer for 30 years. Since this is so close to you, I will hold your hand through the process. Sharon

Attention to detail, fact-checking, outline, chronology, are important for a memoir, or a fictionalized memoir, I think. 60 days is a reasonable amount of time. I don't mind graphic. I'm a published poet, and a playwright. Poets are intrigued with sex and violence.

Leslie Hi, I’m interested in ghostwriting your story. Your story sounds both fascinating and heartbreaking. From what I’ve read it sounds like a story that should be told! I would like to help tell it. I could get this done in about a month. I would charge $600 but I am willing to negotiate. Whoever you hire to do this I hope it goes well. Thanks! Leslie Jones

I believe a man cannot give you what he does not have. I have written and published my autobiography and this experience is a plus for me over others. Above all, I am a Christian-who believe in covenant relationship and confidentiality. I know the consequences of betraying the trust of my client. You can be sure you would not regret hiring me.

I have written a similar book for a client under similar circumstances, we needed to excercise caution in naming names as it related to police corruption and government involvement. I would love to assist to you bring your story to light - it sounds like it could be a huge success.

No offense, but anyone who claims they will provide a PUBLISHABLE manuscript in 30 days for $1000 or less is either a fool or a charlatan. I ghost for a living, specializing in memoirs, and the least I've ever charged for such a project is $12,500, and that was CHEAP. Think of the time required just to properly interview the subject. I usually spend the first month in that alone. After all, the whole point of hiring a ghostwriter is to find someone who can effectively tell your story in YOUR voice. I bid my minimums, but realistically I can only give a rough estimate without more information. Basically, it would take 3-5 months and my fee would be between $12,500 and $20,000, depending on your story. Good luck with it.
