Writing isn’t easy. And language isn’t easy. But who doesn’t want a simple and inexpensive solution to writing their project? Two possibilities may quickly come to mind: That heavily-publicized artificial intelligence software called ChatGPT is one. Let smart software write your speech, article, lyrics, book or screenplay, for free! It may be “smart” but software has no imagination, no emotion, and those are supremely important for a writer.

The other possibility is to hire a cheap writer from one of those well-known freelancer websites. It’s likely that those cheap writers aren’t even in this country, and it’s virtually guaranteed they’re going to stumble over heavily idiomatic [definition] American English. Don’t expect to be able to call those writers or do one-on-one collaboration, because you can’t. Sabotaging yourself isn’t your job.

Your job is to have an idea and to find a writer who can deliver excellent work, on time and on budget. Our job is to determine what you need and help you to get it. Then to deliver a piece of work that will be taken seriously by whomever is supposed to see it. Isn’t that better than being laughed out of the room?

Some advice: Rather than waste time on A.I. or a cheap writer, save your money.  When you have enough to hire a quality writer, get in touch. But if your project has already been mangled, we can un-mangle it.

My name is Michael McKown and I’ve been passionate about our language since I was a little kid. I co-founded Ghostwriters Central in 2002. I have many excellent writers under contract, and I know they’re excellent. There’s a screening process here, and they had to get past me first. We’ve got you covered.

Price? Writers expect to be fairly paid for their work. You can find our published rates on our Rates page. We are a mid-priced service. You can find cheaper writers but I wouldn’t recommend it. You can also find writers who are far more expensive. Whatever your project is, odds are we can help you.

When you contact me, I will personally explain the process and the approximate cost. If that is acceptable to you and you’re ready to proceed, I will recommend a writer and offer to have that person contact you for a free consultation. You will find the process to be hassle free and smooth. No surprises, no headaches, no frustration. You want to tell your story or express your feelings, and we’re here to expedite that.
