These are free planning tools for anyone thinking about a book. They run in your browser, they ask for no email, and every number in them comes from the schedules and lengths I work to on real projects.
Book Finish-Date Calculator
Pick the kind of book, the month you can start and how you plan to publish, and it shows when the manuscript is done and when the book reaches readers. Have a deadline instead? It works backward and tells you when to start.
Which Book Path Is Right for You?
Five questions about where your book stands, who should write it and how you want it published. The answer points to ghostwriting, book coaching, publishing help or the Book Discovery Intensive, with a second option worth a look.
Book Scope Estimator
Typical length, page count, reading time, your time as the author of a ghostwritten book, and how long a first draft takes at your own writing pace.
Which book planning tool should you use first?
Start with the quiz if you don’t yet know how the book should get written. Start with the calculator if you have a date. Start with the estimator if you want to see what you are signing up for. All three link to each other, and to the service pages when you want the detail. The ghostwriting glossary covers the terms they use.
