FAQS
If I hire a book collaborator represented by Lucinda Literary, does that mean I am guaranteed an agent or a publishing deal?
Working with a book collaborator is at the author’s will and investment. We cannot guarantee that Lucinda Literary or any other agency will offer representation, or that a publisher will make an offer on your book.
However, investing in a collaborator can drastically improve your chances of getting noticed and signed by an industry gatekeeper. Many authors find that collaboration provides a solid roadmap no matter how you would like to publish your book.
What sort of fees can I expect to pay for these services?
Lucinda Literary represents a premiere list of writers who are connected with New York agencies and publishers, and bring a track record of winning 6-figure proposals with major publishers and/or contributing to national bestsellers. Their fees are therefore on the higher end of the market and range based on experience. A sample approximation of each service is below:
Book Proposal Editing (requires a complete first draft) = $5,000
Book Proposal Ghostwriting = $7,500 – $25,000
Manuscript Editing (requires a complete first draft) = $25,000 – $50,000
Manuscript Ghostwriting = $50,000 – $125,000
I’d like to write my book, but outside editing would be helpful. Does a book collaborator do this?
Yes! Many of our collaborators offer coaching or editing packages.
I plan to potentially hybrid or self-publish. Am I still eligible to work with a writer represented by Lucinda Literary?
Our collaborators have a broad range of experience that includes self-published projects.
Do collaborators ever work for free in exchange for a split of proceeds?
There are collaborators that work for free and receive a split of proceeds, but all of our collaborators work for an upfront fee. This allows you and the collaborator to focus on creating the highest quality work possible while maintaining your full creative control over the project.
