Questions about working with a romance ghostwriter? Start here.
How much does romance ghostwriting cost?
Every story has a different scope. Word count, research, the condition of your existing material, and the editorial support you need all influence the cost. Contact Storybound House for a proposal tailored to your manuscript, with the deliverables and payment terms clearly outlined.
How long will my romance novel take?
Your schedule depends on manuscript length, research, revisions, and the time available for your feedback. We establish a project timeline with you before work begins. Historical settings, intricate world-building, and interconnected series may require additional development.
How will you capture my voice?
We explore your preferred tone, point of view, character backstories, and any writing samples you have. Reviewing the manuscript in stages gives you an opportunity to shape the voice and chemistry early, then refine them as the story develops.
Can you help plan a romance series?
Yes. We can help map the larger series arc alongside each book’s central relationship. Planning character histories, recurring settings, and unresolved threads helps keep the world consistent while giving every couple a satisfying story of their own.
Will the book be published under my name?
The manuscript is developed for you to publish under your name. Ownership, confidentiality, and the handover of materials are set out in your project agreement, so you can review the terms before the collaboration begins.
Can I start with just an idea or a partial draft?
Absolutely. Bring us a premise, a character pairing, an outline, or an unfinished manuscript. We will review what you have and recommend the next steps, whether that means developing the concept, completing the draft, or revising the story.
