A non-fiction book is distinguishable from content by endnotes. A reviewer, librarian, or even an annoyed subject expert can scrutinize the claims in a non-fiction book, and the book can withstand such an evaluation. Everything that follows on how we write non-fiction books stems from this.
Writers work from primary material where it exists, keep a source note against every factual sentence as they draft, and mark anything they could not verify rather than smoothing it into the prose. You see those marks, in a file of their own.
Documents together as tangential. A book in which you find archives in chapter one and interviews in chapter four and a magazine feature in chapter nine reads as three books unless cohesion is achieved through a standardization of evidence. We reach this standard before formalizing our agreement on what constitutes a source, when a claim is necessitated by two sources, and how we should describe the uncertainty in our claims.
The fabrication of citations is the primary issue. Software compiles citations that include a legitimate name of the author, a name of a publication and the page numbers that do not exist and seem genuine until the reference is confirmed by checking the volume. In a non-fiction context, one fabricated reference calls into academic integrity doubt on the rest.
Research comes before structure. Strong research determines what format and how many chapters you can have. A writer builds a source library and then determines how the chapters will be ordered. It will most likely be different from what you have in mind, and the reason it is different is the most important thing that you will discuss in this project.
Here we split the jobs so that each reader does something different. One of them must decide if the book is accurate. This includes checking every note and clicking every link. A second reader must decide it is readable (which is usually the case if research the writer was proudest of is cut). Unfortunately doing both jobs together leads to a not so accurate and not so readable result.
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 non-fiction book | 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.
Every format is priced identically: $10 per 100 words plus a 1% platform fee. A 45,000-word non-fiction book comes to $4,545. There is no research surcharge, no rush tier and no minimum retainer.
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.
We state that it is reported non-fiction on every page and emphasize that it is not intended to be advice. We give you the opportunity to decide which of the specialist chapters you want to review prior to publication. These chapters require review by an expert. We will indicate which sections require your review.
Yes, usually. Send the writer what you have, and it gets treated as a first source library, and they fill in the rest. The length of time it takes to verify the material is shorter for strong client materials. It ultimately tracks the hours, but the price is still determined by word count.

My novel took four years, and the back cover took three sentences and had me stumped for six weeks. The writer must have read the full manuscript (instead of the synopsis) which I know because the copy references a scene from chapter fourteen.
Chapter seven got me stuck for almost a year, and the suggested structure finally helped. Great outline, but the email with it was a two-sentence filler. I had to ask for a paragraph explaining the order of the chapters.
I had managed to write around 40 thousand words. Unfortunately those words didn’t provide any structure. When I received the feedback on this, it contained a merged chapter, one chapter completely removed (along with an explanation as to why) and the additional feedback stated that the chapter that had been removed was essentially doing the work of three chapters which I had already written. It was a bit painful to read, but correct.
