My six year old asked twice
That’s the review. The next night she asked for it again, then corrected me when I misread a line. Obviously, she has memorized it. The page has a certain rhythm that seems to help people memorize things.
An ebook is different from a book. People download your ebook to get a solution to a problem. They may be reading on the go with their phones. They will find and scroll to the part of the ebook that looks to provide the answer. An ebook that does not serve the user this way becomes a one-time download.
We write ebooks to first be scanned. This means short sections with honest headings. The material is front-loaded and helpful, so there is no time spent on a preface defining a term the reader already knows. The pitch waits until something is provided to the reader.
An ebook will often become the first lengthy material your prospect will read coming from you, and will become a reference point for their expectation in every email that you send subsequently. If your ebook sounds like a committee and your email newsletter sounds like a single person, one of them is not true. Keeping the two in one voice is why the file is sent to a writer instead of a template.
Generated ebooks become padded by design. Since the model has no stopping mechanism, a guide that should be around 4,000 words bloats to 12,000 in three sections repeating the introduction. This causes readers to skim to the end, find nothing new, and unsubscribe.
We begin with the form that collects the download and then go backwards. What did you assure on that page? What does the reader need to believe by the final page? This usually results in a fix to the section order and cuts to the length, which is usually shorter than what the client expects and is better for it.
The first draft is purposely longer, this way it is more visible to see what the dead weight is. The writer then cuts to the required length, checks whether every heading still outlines what is below it, and reads the entire document on a phone before calling it complete.
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.
| Typical ebook | Words | Writing | Fee (1%) | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short book | 20,000 | $2,000 | $20 | $2,020 |
| Standard book | 45,000 | $4,500 | $45 | $4,545 |
| Full-length book | 70,000 | $7,000 | $70 | $7,070 |
The writer receives 100% of the writing price. Our 1% fee is added on top of it, and 0.5% is donated to tree planting. Full pricing breakdown.
We match the brief to a writer who has already worked in that subject area. If you have worked with an Articled writer before and want them again, name them and we will check their availability first.
Up to 3 days. The writer has to read around the subject before writing it, so we quote honestly rather than promising an hour. If your deadline is tighter, say so in the brief and we will tell you before you pay whether we can meet it.
The ebook order includes one landing page headline and an accompanying paragraph. A fully crafted landing page is a separate project, priced by word count. It often makes sense to have the same writer handle both so the voice remains constant at the click.
Yes, please send the current file and tell us what changed. Since rewrites are priced on the words we actually write, instead of the complete document, changing three sections of a 10,000-word guide will only cost what those three sections contain.

Two chapters about my mother that I had written as accusations turned into scenes. The writer didn’t cut anything. The writer just stopped explaining what I was supposed to feel and let the dialogue do its job. I have rewritten the rest of the book that way.
Each of the nine sessions across the five weeks brought the same line of questioning about the shop in 1987. I had to keep telling her there was nothing to say. Chapter four is the part of my memoir my daughter cried over.
