Screenplay Ghostwriter

I will ghostwrite your screenplay for you - meaning you will receive 100% of the credit and I will receive none - under the same basic terms as a screenplay for which I receive credit, but my fee is 20% higher, payable in three installments: one-third upon signing an agreement; one-third upon completing the first act (approximately 30 pages); and one-third upon completing the second act.  In essence, you are paying me in advance for each act. You are hiring me to write a complete screenplay. My fee includes a second draft and a final polish. There is no discount if you decide my work doesn't require a second draft or final polish. If you cancel a project after I've commenced work, my "kill fee" is 50% of the remaining total balance contracted.

I charge more to ghostwrite because financial compensatio becomes the only reward for my work, and I work just as hard as if I'm receiving credit. My rates are very low for the marketplace because I believe in giving indies a break, but if you don't give me credit, I feel it's only right that I be paid a rate closer to the marketplace average, which is $7,000 - $10,000 for someone of my experience. 

You retain all rights, even in the event of a buyout. Completion time takes approximately eight weeks.
