I’m considering hiring someone to help bring my story idea to life. I have the plot, characters, and overall theme mapped out, but writing isn’t my strong suit. I know there are professional book writers and ghostwriters out there who also offer book publishing services—but how do you choose the right one?

Should I look for someone who specializes in my genre? And how important is it that they’ve published with well-known book publishing companies? I’d like to eventually publish my book, either through one of the publishing companies for new authors or maybe even locally (still exploring book publishing near me).

I recently found American Book Authors, and they seem to cover everything from writing to publishing and even marketing. Has anyone worked with them before? Their portfolio looks solid, but I want to make sure I’m not missing any red flags or better options.

Also—what’s a realistic book publishing cost when hiring a professional writer? Some services are suspiciously cheap, and others are way out of range.

Would really appreciate any recommendations or warning signs to watch out for.
