Book ghostwriting for the United States

An American book takes one of two routes, and they need different documents. Traditional publishing runs through an agent, and the agent buys the proposal — overview, comparable titles, author platform, chapter outline and two sample chapters — long before anyone reads a manuscript. Self-publishing skips that, but then the manuscript, the metadata and the categories carry the whole weight.

What you receive

The handover

Finished files

Production-ready output in the format your printer, platform or workshop actually needs — press PDF, editable source, CAD file, font binary or deck, as the work requires.

Editable sources

The working files, not just the export, so your team can change the work later without coming back to us.

Full rights

Copyright transfers to you on final payment. Nothing we make for you is resold or reused elsewhere.

Two revision rounds

Included in the quoted price. Corrections are logged against the draft rather than argued over on a call.

How it works

Five steps, and you approve the first three

01 · Brief

You tell us what the finished thing has to do, and send whatever material you already have.

02 · Scope & price

A written scope, a fixed figure and a delivery date, usually within one working day.

03 · Structure

You sign off the architecture before production starts, so nothing large is built on a wrong assumption.

04 · Production

Work arrives in stages as it finishes, not all at the end, with two revision rounds included.

05 · Handover

Files, sources and rights in your hands, and the invoice closed.

Often commissioned together

In detail

Textbook writing services — how we produce it

Typical extent is 180 to 320 pages with 40 to 120 figures. A single title runs eight to fourteen weeks; a ten-title multi-grade programme runs six to nine months and is staged by grade block, so the first books are in your hands while later grades are still in draft.

Because writers, translators, designers, draughtspeople and typesetters sit in the same building in Chennai, this can be commissioned together with everything around it: translation into any of a hundred-plus languages, the figures and illustrations, the typesetting, the presentation and the production files. One schedule, one point of contact, one invoice.

Pricing is quoted in US dollars and fixed in writing before work starts. Fifty per cent is payable in advance and the balance on delivery, with long projects staged so neither side carries the whole risk. Two revision rounds are included, and copyright transfers to you in full on final payment, together with the editable source files.

What is different about a US commission

Written for the route you are actually taking to market

Book proposals agents will read

Overview, market and comp titles with real sales context, platform section, annotated chapter outline and two polished sample chapters — assembled the way agencies expect to receive them.

Traditional or independent

If you are querying agents we write the proposal first. If you are publishing independently we go straight to manuscript and handle metadata, categories and keywords from actual search data.

Chicago style, US conventions

Chicago Manual of Style, US spelling and punctuation, serial comma, and dialogue and citation conventions American editors expect. A style sheet ships with the manuscript.

Trim sizes and print files

Set to US trade sizes — 5.5×8.5, 6×9, 5.25×8 — with the interior PDF, cover wrap calculated to your page count and paper stock, and files validated for KDP and IngramSpark.

ISBN, copyright and cataloguing

Bowker ISBN blocks, US Copyright Office registration guidance, Library of Congress control number and CIP data block where your distribution needs it.

Fact-checking and legal read

Claims sourced and checked, and a pre-publication read for defamation and privacy exposure on memoir and business books that name real people.

A full-length book runs six to eleven months; a proposal alone, six to ten weeks. Quoted in US dollars, invoiced with a W-8BEN-E on file, copyright transferring to you entirely on final payment.

Questions

Before you commission

How much does textbook writing services cost?

Prices are fixed in writing before work begins. Scope, language count and turnaround move the figure; volume across a programme brings it down. Send the brief and you have a number within a working day.

How long does it take?

Most single deliverables run three to fourteen weeks depending on length and complexity. Programmes are staged so early parts reach you while later parts are still in production. You get a date with the quote.

Who does the work?

A specialist from our school & college course books team, with an editor and a production person on the same project. Everyone is bound by the same confidentiality terms.

Do I own the result?

Yes. Full copyright transfer, editable sources and production-ready files on final payment. Nothing is resold or reused.

Can it be produced in other languages?

Yes — any of a hundred-plus languages, typeset in the same studio so layout and page numbers match across editions.

Do you work with clients outside India?

Yes. Publishers, institutions and founders in the United States, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Canada, Australia and Japan. Work is delivered by email and shared drive and quoted in US dollars.
