How long does the process take?

We aim to finish all projects within 4-7 months which should give you, the writer and project editor plenty of time to complete your book. You can take up to 9 months in case of planned or unplanned delays. If your project takes longer than 9 months to complete it will be subject to extension fees.

What's the difference between the writer levels?

Our writers are grouped according to their level of experience. Junior Writers are up and coming stars - often recent graduates of top journalism and creative writing programs. Senior Writers are experienced pros, with a substantial body of published work. Our Premium Writers are at the top of their trade, and will have worked for world-leading newspapers and publishing houses.

All of our writers have been carefully selected by our editorial team and will do a great job on your project!

Yes, you can pay over two installments if you prefer. The second installment will be due when your interview sessions have been completed. We charge a small admin fee for processing the additional payment.

What's your cancellation policy?

You can cancel your project at any time, no questions asked. You'll be able to get a full refund in full for 30 days after you purchase, or until you accept a writer match, whichever is earlier. We may deduct certain costs e.g. the cost of our welcome box. After this, because our services are personalized, the amount we can refund you depends on the stage of your project. View our terms and conditions for more information.

Will you write my book in exchange for royalties?

StoryTerrace is a paid ghostwriting service, we don't profit from our clients books. For that reason, we won't ever offer to write a book in exchange for a share in royalties.

If you want someone to write your book in exchange for royalties, you'll need to find a literary agent and secure a deal with a traditional publisher who is willing to pay for a ghostwriter.

We can help you to self-publish your book once it's complete, which we believe is the best choice for most of our clients. If you have questions about the advantages of self-publishing, feel free to contact us!

What is self-publishing?

In the old days, if you wanted to publish a book, you would have to find an agent and secure a deal with a publishing company like Penguin. Most authors were rejected, and if you did manage to get a deal, the publisher would own the rights to your book, and retain most of the profits from any sales. If you needed the publisher to provide a ghostwriter, the chances of getting a deal were vanishingly slim - unless you were Kim Kardashian or Bill Gates!

Self-publishing has made it possible to bypass these gatekeepers, and publish directly via Amazon and other platforms. Self-published authors don't need to get permission to publish their book, and they retain a much larger share of the proceeds from any sales. We believe that self-publishing is the right choice for most of our clients - and we've helped dozens of them to self-publish successfully via Amazon and other platforms.

Do you only write biographies?

Not at all! We have writers with a wealth of experience in all areas of non-fiction. We've helped clients to create and self-publish all kinds of books, from business books and company histories, to spirituality, self-help and wellness. If you don't see what you're looking for, please contact us.
