What the books cost and when to pay

I will help you to choose which book suits your needs best once we’ve had our initial chat. All my prices are based on the number of words, not on how many hours we work together because everyone is different.

You can have as many words and photos as you like, charged pro rata.
I will never exceed the agreed limit without your permission.
Payments are in five stages, set out clearly at the start.

How far I can travel for interviews

I am based in Richmond, North Yorkshire. I can carry out face to face interviews anywhere in Yorkshire and the North East (and parts of Cumbria). If you're further away we can work by phone or video call.

I have many satisfied clients from across Britain whose books have been produced this way.

Will there be any extra charges?

Mileage @ 30p per mile
Plus travelling time from Richmond, North Yorkshire. No charge for a two-hour round trip. After that: £40 per hour.
So a four-hour round trip would cost £80 plus mileage for each visit.
