What on earth does "Uberwriter" mean? Glad you asked! Let’s solve that mystery. At the turn of the millennium, the German word “über”, meaning literally “over” or “above”, began being used as a term for “elite” in computer hacker culture. For example an “über-geek” is an ultra-elite computer geek. We like the word because it also has connotations that we’re “above and not beneath” (Deut 28:13) and that we are overcomers by the word of our testimony and the blood of the Lamb (Rev 12:11). Pretty cool huh? So an überwriter is a writer that is above and not beneath, and will take your manuscripts soaring with them. How can ghostwriting help me? An experienced writer knows how to effectively present your story or message to the correct audience. There a numerous potential pitfalls that will cause a publisher to simply pass on your manuscript. All you get is a rejection letter, if you're fortunate. We know what they're looking for and can help you get there without compromising your content. Good writing doesn’t happen by accident. We carefully listen to your needs, examine your existing material or idea and discuss your target demographic. We then hone in on what sets you apart and start crafting your masterpiece from there.

Because the work we do reflects our brand, if we feel the overall copy isn’t going to be productive for you, we will recommend a complete strategic overhaul. Contact us and we’ll make recommendations. What’s your typical availability? It is best to give us as much lead-time as possible in case we are pretty booked up or need to do extensive research. For small projects, we prefer to book at least two weeks in advance but give us a call. We may have a gap in our schedule and can fit your project in on the fly. From our first conversation, when do you actually start writing? See our ghostwriting process above. What if I need something in a rush? We charge a 50% rush fee, dependent on our availability. With three writers on staff we will usually find a way to make it happen. What are your rates and how do you bill? We prefer to charge by project. The rate typically depends on word-count, what (if any) notes are already available and how much research it entails. This simply means instead of racking up hourly rates, we’ll give you one low price at the initial proposal. If there are any changes to the initial scope, the extra time is outlined in a change-order and typically based on word-count. All scope changes are approved in writing by you. Contact us to get a proposal. How do you invoice? For our ghostwriting projects, we typically invoice at three milestones. 1/3 due at signing, 1/3 due approximately half way and 1/3 at the submission of a first draft.
