How Much Do I Have To Pay A Ghostwriter For A Short Story?

[Lombax]

I'm planning to hire a ghostwriter to write a short fictional story for me. But i want it to be written by a professional. How much do you think it would cost me?

I think you usually hire a ghostwriter to help with autobiographies. Not a creative work like a fictional story.

Or do you mean you want to write the story and hire someone to edit and proofread it ?

Best off writing it yourself than hiring an editor - there are different levels of this - developmental editor is the most 'involved'.

"they are paid based on a price per hour, per word or per page, with a flat fee, a percentage of the royalties of the sales, or some combination thereof"
