Turn Your Story Into a Published Book

Ghostwriting packages start at $3,500 for books of 20,000–25,000 words (Tier 1) and scale with manuscript length up to $52,000 for books over 200,000 words (Tier 9). Every package is built on three clear milestones: Milestone 1 (Project Deposit, scaled by book length), Milestone 2 (Draft Review), and Milestone 3 (Formatting & Final Delivery). Milestone 2 and Milestone 3 are fixed at $3,500 and $1,000 respectively for Tiers 2–9; the Tier 1 starter package carries reduced Milestone 1 and Milestone 2 prices. You do not pay the full package upfront — your initial milestone payment (Milestone 1 · Project Deposit) starts at $1,250, and the remaining balance is paid across Milestones 2 and 3. Larger manuscripts require substantially more writing, discovery, manuscript development, revision and proofreading, project management, and production time — so the price grows with the workload, never as a flat word-count add-on. Every project is quoted transparently in US dollars (USD) — no hidden fees.

A book ghostwriter writes your manuscript on your behalf based on your notes, recordings, stories, and ideas. You receive full author credit from your very first word. At CP Chronicles, every project is written within a Christian worldview — whether it is a memoir, personal story, or nonfiction book. Your heart and message stay front and center, and once the finished book is delivered and paid for in full, it is unmistakably yours.

Timelines vary by word-count tier. Tier 1 (20,000–25,000 words) is typically completed in about 2 months. Tier 2 (25,000–40,000 words) takes approximately 3 months. Tier 3 (40,000–80,000 words) takes about 4–4.5 months. Tier 4 (80,000–110,000 words) takes roughly 5–6 months. Tier 5 (110,000–135,000 words) takes approximately 6–7 months, Tier 6 (135,000–150,000 words) about 8 months, Tier 7 (150,000–170,000 words) about 9–10 months, Tier 8 (175,000–200,000 words) about 10–11 months, and Tier 9 (200,000+ words) about 12 months or more. These are estimates — actual completion depends on story complexity, source material, client feedback, and response times. Larger books require longer production timelines because substantially more writing and editing are involved. Clear delivery dates are agreed upon before work begins.

CP Chronicles specializes in Christian and faith-based books — including memoirs, personal stories, autobiographies, inspirational nonfiction, drama, and Christian spy thrillers. Every project is written within a Christian worldview and delivered with prayerful care. If your book honors God, we would love to help you bring it to life.

Yes — with full author credit and billing from the very first word. Copyright ownership of the finished manuscript transfers to you once the full final payment for all agreed services is made, at which point the work is yours to publish, distribute, and sell as you see fit. CP Chronicles does not claim any rights to your lawful content.

Milestone 1 covers the first 50% of your book — the opening half of the manuscript written from your notes, recordings, or story outline. Milestone 2 includes the remaining 50% of writing, plus comprehensive proofreading, spelling and grammar checks. Milestone 3 is the final polish, professional interior formatting for KDP and Draft2Digital, and step-by-step publishing guidance.

Absolutely. You can read the published memoir The Drive Through Grief With Me on any major platform — the "Where to Read" section above has direct links. This gives you a clear picture of the writing quality, tone, and production standard you can expect for your own book.

A Christian ghostwriter is a professional writer who authors books on behalf of someone else — within a Christian worldview. Whether it is a memoir, personal story, autobiography, or nonfiction book, the ghostwriter captures your voice, story, and faith, then shapes it into a polished, publication-ready manuscript. You receive full credit as the author; the ghostwriter's role stays behind the scenes.

Yes. CP Chronicles provides complete book production — including professional cover design, interior layout for both print and eBook, and formatting that meets the technical requirements of Amazon KDP, Draft2Digital, and other major platforms. Everything is handled under one roof.

In ghostwriting, the writer works entirely behind the scenes — you receive full author credit throughout and copyright ownership transfers to you once the completed work is fully paid for. In co-writing, both names appear on the book. CP Chronicles operates as a ghostwriting service: your story, your name on the cover, and your finished book to own and publish.

Yes. Milestone 3 includes step-by-step publishing guidance for Amazon KDP and Draft2Digital — from uploading your formatted manuscript to setting up your book listing, choosing categories, and going live worldwide. You stay in control of your publishing journey with expert support at every step.

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of neurological conditions that affect movement, muscle tone, and posture. It is caused by abnormal brain development or damage to the developing brain, most often before or during birth. CP affects each person differently — some people walk independently, others use mobility aids, and some communicate through assistive technology. It does not affect intelligence or the ability to think, learn, and create.

Ruan Oelofsen, the founder of CP Chronicles, lives with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy — the most physically restrictive form, affecting all four limbs and the trunk. He writes using assistive technology and speech-to-text tools, working closely with his care team to bring every manuscript to completion. The writing process is adapted to his needs, but the quality, voice, and faith-centered craft of the work remain at the highest professional standard.

Modern assistive technology makes professional writing possible without traditional typing. Ruan uses speech-to-text software, eye-gaze technology, and adaptive input devices to compose, edit, and structure manuscripts. Every word is crafted with the same precision and care as any professional writer — the tools are different, but the result is publication-ready.

You can start with whatever you have — there is no single "right" format. Some clients provide detailed chapter outlines, others send voice recordings of their story, and some simply describe their idea in a conversation. Notes, journals, blog posts, sermons, and even text messages have all been used as source material. Your ghostwriter will work with whatever you give and shape it into a structured manuscript.

Absolutely. Each milestone includes a review stage — you approve the first 50% before the second half begins, and the full manuscript is reviewed before the final polish. Feedback, edits, and direction changes are expected and welcomed. The process is collaborative: your voice leads, and the ghostwriter shapes the work around your vision.

Your ghostwriter studies your tone, vocabulary, sentence rhythm, and the way you naturally tell a story. Through your notes, recordings, and conversations, the ghostwriter builds a clear picture of how you speak and write. The finished manuscript should read as if you wrote every word yourself — because the story, the perspective, and the heart behind it are entirely yours.

Yes. CP Chronicles works with authors worldwide — the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and beyond. The entire ghostwriting process is handled remotely through notes, recordings, outlines, and conversations. You never need to meet in person. Milestone dates are flexible, and all communication happens via email.

A ghostwriter writes your book on your behalf — whether it is a memoir, personal story, autobiography, or nonfiction book — while you receive full author credit and billing. An autobiography writer typically collaborates with you on a shared byline. At CP Chronicles, every project is ghostwritten: your story, your name on the cover, and full copyright ownership transferred to you on full final payment. The ghostwriter's role stays entirely behind the scenes.
