FAQ Story writing

Offers start at a low price, but the cost mainly depends on length and options. Based on orders from the last 90 days, song lyrics are among the cheapest jobs, a custom tale or short story usually costs four to five times as much, and a ghostwritten novel about three times more than a tale. Every offer shows its price before you order.

Often about ten days for a tale or short story, based on orders from the last 90 days. A novel obviously takes much longer: agree on a schedule with the author before ordering. For a birthday or a celebration, order at least two weeks ahead, to leave time for a possible revision.

Give the child's first name and age, what they love (an animal, a cuddly toy, a sport, a place), the people to include and, if you like, a message to get across: courage, the arrival of a baby brother, starting school. Also say how long it should be: a bedtime story is read in a few minutes, a book to keep can be longer.

An AI writes a story in seconds, but it often follows the same patterns, forgets details from one page to the next and only knows about the child what you told it. An author builds a real plot around your child, adapts the vocabulary to their age and keeps the story consistent from start to finish. The author can also start from a draft made with AI and rewrite it.

Yes, that's the whole point of ghostwriting: the author writes, and the book comes out under your name. Settle this before the work starts: check with the author that the copyright transfer is included and that the intended use is clear (print, ebook, sale). Also share your outline, your characters and a few pages in the tone you want, if you have them.

Ask for an extract of a story the author has already written, in a genre close to yours: a tale for a four-year-old isn't written like a crime story. Read the reviews too: more than 100 were left for story writing in the last 12 months, and 99% are positive.
