These terms describe the basis on which Cerebral Palsy Chronicles Ghostwriting Services ("CP Chronicles", "we", "our") provides professional ghostwriting and book production services. By submitting an enquiry or commissioning a project, you accept these terms.

1. Services we provide

We provide professional ghostwriting for faith-based books — memoirs, personal stories, nonfiction, and Christian fiction (spy thriller and drama) — together with book cover design, interior formatting, and self-publishing guidance. All commissioned books are written within a Christian, faith-based worldview.

2. Milestones and pricing

Every project is structured in three milestones:

  • Milestone 1 (Project Deposit) — the first half of the book written (pricing varies by word-count tier);
  • Milestone 2 (Draft Review) — the remaining half plus comprehensive proofreading, charged at $3,500 (Tier 1: $1,250); and
  • Milestone 3 (Formatting & Final Delivery) — final polish, formatting for KDP and Draft2Digital, and publishing guidance, charged at $1,000.

Every project carries the fixed three-milestone structure above. Milestone 2 ($3,500) and Milestone 3 ($1,000) stay fixed in Tiers 2–9 (Milestone 2 is $1,250 at the Tier 1 starter tier); only Milestone 1 scales with project scope. Projects begin with an initial milestone payment — Milestone 1 (Project Deposit) starts at $1,250 — and the remaining balance is paid across Milestones 2 and 3. All prices are quoted in US dollars (USD). Pricing shown on this website is a starting estimate based on your selected word-count tier. The final quote is confirmed individually for each project before work begins. The $3,500 package covers books of 20,000–25,000 words; larger books carry adjusted Milestone 1 pricing — up to a $52,000 total for books over 200,000 words — as shown on the services page.

3. Payments

Payments are made by bank-to-bank transfer through Payoneer. PayPal is not accepted. A milestone payment is due before the corresponding stage of work begins.

4. Author credit and copyright

The client receives full author credit and billing from the very first word and appears as the author on the final book. Full copyright ownership of the finished manuscript transfers to the Client only upon full, final payment for all agreed-upon services. Until that time, the unfinished or unpaid work remains the intellectual property of the Ghostwriter. If the project is not completed and fully paid for — including if the Client stops the project early, cancels, or declines to continue before completion and full payment — copyright ownership does not transfer to the Client, and the Client may not represent any unfinished or unpaid work as their copyrighted completed manuscript. CP Chronicles does not claim rights to the client's lawful content beyond the services delivered. The ghostwriter's role remains behind the scenes unless a co-authorship arrangement is separately agreed in writing.

5. Timelines

Published timelines are estimates, not guaranteed deadlines. Delivery depends on story complexity, the completeness of source material, client feedback, revisions, and response times. Clear milestone dates are agreed before work begins.

6. No-yield guarantee

Ghostwriting and book production are creative and editorial services. We do not and cannot guarantee sales, readership, bestseller status, reviews, or any particular commercial outcome, including through listings, submission, or publishing guidance.

7. Client warranties on provided content

The Client warrants and represents that all materials, information, audio, notes, transcripts, stories, facts, images, or media provided to the Ghostwriter/Service Provider for inclusion in any work or manuscript are 100% original, truthful, lawfully acquired, and do not infringe upon any third-party copyright, trademark, privacy right, trade secret, or express non-disclosure agreement. The Client is responsible for the accuracy, truthfulness, and lawfulness of everything they supply for inclusion in the work.

8. Indemnification and hold harmless

The Client agrees to fully defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Ghostwriter/Service Provider against any and all legal claims, suits, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, penalties, court costs, and attorney's fees resulting from or arising out of any content, material, or information supplied by the Client that is alleged to be scandalous, libelous, defamatory, fraudulent, unlawful, or infringing on any copyright or third-party right.

9. Illegal content and termination for cause

The Ghostwriter/Service Provider reserves the right to immediately terminate any contract or service without penalty or refund if the Client requests, provides, or demands the inclusion of material that is illegal, incites harm, facilitates criminal activity, or constitutes fraud. The Ghostwriter will not be held liable for any client non-compliance with regional or international laws.

10. Limitation of liability

Under no circumstances shall the Ghostwriter/Service Provider be liable for direct, indirect, or consequential damages resulting from the publication, marketing, distribution, or third-party reception of the final manuscript or book created using Client-supplied materials.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability in connection with a project is limited to the amount you paid for that project. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss.
