Have an idea for a novel? Blog post? Memoir? Children's book? Film script? Magazine article? Non-fiction how to? Author/ex-NY editor CRISTINA SALAT is the "secret weapon" behind many a published author's dream project -- including some bestsellers & classics (Shhhh! ;) Discretion guaranteed!) -- and she is happy to write it for you, schedule & interest permitting.

** This listing purchases a 1-hour consultation at the usual rate** which can be used in 1 of 2 ways: Either the project, terms, & timeline you have in mind are explained by email or phone appointment so price quote can be provided regarding the creation of the manuscript (note: prices will vary depending upon length of project, desired timeframe, research required, etc.), OR -- if typewritten draft of project already exists -- that can be preliminarily assessed in order to provide a quote for bringing manuscript-in-progress on home to completion.

This first 1-hour consultation implies no further obligation by either party to continue on with ghostwriting collaboration until mutually-agreeable terms are reached.

All ghostwriting work done prepaid via Paypal, either stage by stage (such as chapter by chapter), or prepaid in its entirety for a full project discount.

Brief assignments -- such as a blog post or concise magazine piece where first draft already exists -- may be completed in not much more time than an initial consultation hour or two ... whereas book/movie-length projects usually take significantly longer. (Please note: all turnaround times for ghostwriting projects also depend on what else is currently on my desk. I am known for giving good, focused attention to each undertaking...including yours.)

Guidance regarding eventual traditional or indie publishing plans + marketing can be built into ghostwriting agreement, or Q&A Publishing Consultations can be purchased separately: https://livefromthevolcano.ecrater.com/p/41864495/publishing-consultation-with-author-ex-ny

Most genres welcome from fiction to non-fiction, YA to sci fi, investigative journalism to contemporary romance. (Only blood-&-gore horror thrillers are generally not my cup of tea.)

(Side note: writers interested in obtaining professional feedback outlining strengths/weakness of an already-drafted project towards getting it structurally sound themselves may wish to purchase Developmental Editing service instead, which can be obtained here: https://livefromthevolcano.ecrater.com/p/41872197/developmental-editing-most-genres-provided)
