Published Author Wants To Ghost For You

Rachel Goodchild · 09-10-2008, 09:36 PM

I've spent the last seven years writing for top magazines. My books have been published by Penguin

And now I want to write for you.

UPDATE i HAVE SIX SPOTS LEFT!

Dear Warriors:

Four years ago I discovered internet marketing- and two years ago I discovered the Warrior Forum.
I remember those heady days when I'd spend hours on here, pouring through threads and finding out everything there was to know about Internet Marketing.
My problem was always focus. I simply couldn't decide what I was going to concentrate on. So much opportunity. So little time to follow it!

But I knew I could write. So write I did.

I wrote for alot of people back then. Then I took my writing talents and brought them back into the "real world" where I had articles published in magazines in New Zealand, Australia, the UK, Malaysia and the US.

Out of that, I also signed three book contracts with Penguin. Two of my books have already been released, and my third- on Internet Dating will come out February 2009. (you can see a list of my work on my blog: www.rachel-goodchild.com )

Along the way my marriage broke up- thank God for writing! I've been able to support my three girls by myself, and I think I've done pretty well.

But I'm tired. I need a holiday, and using some of my regular contract work isn't something I want to do- that money is for keeping my three girls in food, ballet lessons and movie tickets. I'm thinking somewhere warm, just to get a bit of regeneration and be the best working mom I can be when I return (I'm talking a short break here folks- my girls are young!)

So...

I'm offering you a GREAT deal

I know the world of internet writing is vastly different to magazines and print. I don't expect you to pay me the 50cents a word I get to write a piece on an entreprenuer or a celebrity.

I know the world of internet writing is vastly different to publishing. I don't expect a healthy five figure advance either...

WHAT AM I OFFERING?

What I can offer you is a great rate by a very expereince author for your next EBook.
Want a book that your customers can relate to?
Want something that makes so very glad they forked out their hard earned cash for it?

My writing does that each and every time.

I am incredibly bad at keeping records of my work. But visit my blog on Rachel Goodchild Writes or google me, and you'll find piles of work I've written.

And I’ve written on many topics over the last couple of years.

I've written on sex, dating, men, women, children, gardening, cars, sport, health, fitness, and finances. I'll write on almost anything.

WHAT WILL IT COST YOU?

$20 a page.

And not a namby pamby large print page either. My pages have 350 words on them- and they're good words. Most of them even have more than one syllable. I'm THAT good

Here’s all you have to do:

1. Paypal a deposit of 50% of your total order to: rachel.goodchild@gmail.com
2. PM with your topic and the number of pages you want written. If you've got an outline that's great- otherwsie I'll write one up for you to approve.
3. I’ll PM you back with any questions.
4. Paypal me the remaining 50% when you receive your order.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you,

Rachel Goodchild

PS – I know sometimes you don't have the cash, or you're not quite ready. Pay 25% to book me in, and then pay the next 25% when you are ready to begin- then we can both keep a tabs on it all

PPS – I'm still keeping busy with publishing and magazines. In fact I am helping someone launch a magazine in New Zealand next month. So I am going to limit myself carefully to TEN E books. Be in quick folks! UPDATE i HAVE SIX SPOTS LEFT!

PPS- I'm really excited about that magazine- I get to interview Ladan Lakshari who is one of my idols- she's ace!

Are you Rachel Goodchild, Chai Rose (chaiwriter), or someone else? Something seems very wrong here.

.

Rachel Goodchild · 09-10-2008, 09:50 PM

It's called a cat walking over my keyboard at the wrong moment

my passport says Rachel Goodchild
I'm pretty sure I'm her

John Rowe · 09-10-2008, 09:58 PM

Well Rachel, I wish I had quoted your original post. Much of it was copied and pasted word for word from Chaiwriter's current writing WSO including all of his testimonials and even his name. Now, you've changed all that, and put 'typos' as your reason for editing.

I'm not sure what went wrong on your end, and you're probably you, but I'm making this second post so my first one will make sense to others.

Yes as I said...a cat walked over my key board. I was in the middle of writing and it came up as posted- which was a little disconcerting!
If you read Chais- you'll see our posts are really very different
No secret squirrel thing going on

I typed my letter into the thing direct- which took me about 20 minutes (an indication I can write perhaps??)
I used his format to remind me of things to include (as we are suggested to do), rather than spend hours checking

Nothing secret- CHEERS! And thanks for dropping by!

KimW · 09-10-2008, 10:05 PM

I saw the first post and it didn't make sense. It went from she to he to she. Now it does.

Bev Clement · 09-10-2008, 10:34 PM

I didn't see the first post, but I can say that Rachel is female and an excellent writer. You don't get Penguin to commission you to write for them if you are not any good.

I have worked with Rachel off and on for almost 2 years, and I have no problem working with her and recommending her work to anyone.

Bev

John Rowe · 09-10-2008, 10:39 PM

Thanks Bev, it's good to know that you know Rachel. I was hoping you'd drop by and comment.

Thanks Bev- I guess I forgot I haven't been on here for a while- and people change!
(And now on to tell that hillbilly just how much I love him! muhahahahaha )

Ken Leatherman · 09-11-2008, 08:04 AM

Warriors,

You like reviews and samples of a writers ability to write, right? Well, I'm here to tell you Rachel can write.

I just spent the last hour and a half reading Rachel's personal blog. She writes with clarity, directness, humor and reflects the emotion of what she is writing about. Rachel has a love for writing that pours out in her copy.

Will Rachel be able to write your next e-book/journal/report, in my opinion yes she can. I am convinced she can do so. I am an article writer, a prolific reader and I know good writing when I see it. I just don't think you will go wrong.

Up to this moment in time, I have not corresponded with Rachel, nor met her, but her blog gave me an insight into what she does and does darn good.

I too would like to give Rachel my testimonial. She is an excellent writer and an excellent person to work with. If you are looking for a ghostwriter she is your gal.

rwil02 · 09-15-2008, 03:37 PM

Hi Rachel.

I'd be interested in a couple of pieces if the space is available, and if you are interested.

One would be 2-3 pages of sales copy based on How To Write And Sell Software For A Living + my WSO (http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...pare-time.html)

The other 1-2 pages for a blog article (Selling Software Online - The joys and tribulations of selling software online)

If you're interested, let me know and I'll send you the deposit.

KimW · 09-15-2008, 05:09 PM

Hi Kim

One page equals about one minute- but if it's an audio the price would be higher.
I do that sort of thing for corporate clients- and you need to be very careful about the language you use as every second counts!
I'm happy to help though!
And thanks for the heads up on the post- It's didn't alert me for some reason...

KimW · 09-17-2008, 08:11 AM

I have someone doing the audio already, I just need it written...so, I'm ready to go when you are!

Let me know if you want the blog article

Srdan Basic internet · 09-17-2008, 08:15 AM

Hi, But you knew you could write. So write you did. Good for you. Congratulations. You will surely write my next eBook. Thanks for your offer.

Hi Roger- thank you!
Let me know the topics and I'll get it done for you

Regards

I don't know if I missed it, (sales letters always baffle me) but what are the rights on the ebook that you will write. I know what a ghost writer is but once bitten twice careful is what I follow.

Also, can I allow my buyers to get a print out of the ebook for easy reading.

I once had a project valued at $670,000 but did'nt go any further than securing a domain. I was in college then. If you are willing then may be I could offer you more work at whatever time you want and at your own pace.
