I’m looking into ghostwriting services for stories and trying to understand which pricing model makes the most sense for shorter projects. When hiring a ghostwriter for a short story or personal narrative, is it better to agree on a flat fee for the entire piece or pay per word? I worry that per-word pricing might encourage unnecessary padding, while a flat fee could lead to rushed work if the writer underestimates the effort. For those who’ve used ghostwriting services for stories, what pricing structure worked best for you? I’d appreciate advice on what’s fair for both parties and how to negotiate terms confidently.
