Ghostwriting and Biography Services
Three things, each with a published price. A page, a gift book, a book.
I sell three things. A page in your voice for US$1,000. A gift book for US$10,000. A full book for US$25,000. Each one starts with an NDA, and the copyright in every word I write passes to you.
A page in your voice
You send a five-minute voice memo. I send back one page written as you, inside a week. You read it and ask one question: does this sound like me?
If it does, the fee comes off the book. If it does not, you walk away and owe nothing more. Most people start here, because the fear is the voice, and one page settles it. How the page works.
The gift book
Ten or twelve stories from a parent’s life. Fifteen to twenty hours of interviews, about 25,000 words, ten hardback copies, four months. It is the one offer where printing sits inside the fee.
It is for the father who tells the Partition story at every wedding and has never seen it on paper. The gift book in full.
The full book
An authorised biography, a founder story, a memoir or a family legacy book. Sixty to ninety thousand words over six months. Thirty to sixty hours of interviews with you, and more with the people who were in the room. A chapter plan you approve before I write a line of prose. Three named revision rounds. Two research trips.
You pay in four equal parts against four deliverables, and you can stop after any of them. What the fee covers, and what it does not.
What each one asks of you
| Offer | Your time | My time | What you hold at the end |
|---|---|---|---|
| A page in your voice | Five minutes of recording | About a week | One page, written as you |
| The gift book | Fifteen to twenty hours of interviews, from the parent | Four months | Ten hardback copies |
| The full book | One to two hours a week of interviews, and three drafts to read | Six months | A finished manuscript, copyright yours |
One book at a time
I write one book at a time. There is no team, no junior writer and no account manager. The person you talk to on the first call writes every page.
The proof I can show you in public is The Nidhi Kapoor Story, my 90,000-word novel in English and Hindi, and a bestselling authorised biography of a doyen of Indian IT whose name stays under NDA.
What I no longer sell
This page used to list screenplays, podcasts, LinkedIn ghostwriting, speeches and a monthly retainer. I cut all five in September 2026. A writer who takes on eight kinds of work cannot give one family six months.
Which one fits
Interviews run on video across time zones, in whatever mix of Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil and English the story lives in. The prices on this page show in your currency.
Write to me and say who the book is about. I will tell you which of the three it needs.
