Visually attractive cover

As a ghostwriter, you know how much a good first impression matters. For that reason, we made sure the first thing your clients see is a stunning cover, with everything you need to start the proposal in an attention-grabbing way. Like the rest of this template, every part is editable, from the text and logo to the background image.

Pre-written introduction section

Our introduction section is the best way to write a meeting summary and explain to your clients exactly which ghostwriting services you will provide them. Whether you're using this template to write a book proposal, show off the possible table of contents, or just some sample chapters, this section is already structured to suit all your needs. Just add a few specifics, and it's ready to be sent out!

Like everything else in this template, it's completely customizable, including the colors, the text, images, and layout.

Processes and timelines

Explaining the process and timeline of ghostwriting may sound complicated and overwhelming to someone who hasn't been through it before. Luckily, our Plan of action section is already made to fit the perfect amount of information. Add some details specific to your services, and it's good to go!

Case study example

The number of ghostwriters that don't mention customer reviews or examples of their work in a proposal is terrifying. We understand it may be difficult due to the work's nature, but if you want to be taken seriously, you need to show that you understood the client's wishes and you can come up with a practical solution.

In this ghostwriting proposal template, we've used a fiction book as an example of a case study. All you need to do is replace our example with one of yours and use the structure we've used.

Pricing

Getting the pricing right in ghostwriting is difficult. Luckily, no matter if you charge per hour or project, all you have to do in this automatically calculated pricing table is put the numbers in, type a brief one-line description of your services, and the most important part of your proposal is done!

Next steps with digital signing

A digital signature is a perfect way to avoid meeting in person simply to transfer the documents. Just briefly explain your plan in the 'Next steps' chapter, get your client to sign, and your proposal is officially accepted! All digital signatures are 100% legal and compliant.

Your clients can sign even from their smartphones and tablets, and the digital signature certificate will simply show up in your Better Proposals account.

Pre-written contract

No matter if you're a seasoned professional or new to the ghostwriting world, Terms and Conditions will probably slip your mind when you're trying to close the deal with a client. To ensure you're still protected, we have added fully customizable T&Cs at the end of this template.

Get paid straight from the proposal

No more messing around with invoices, no more waiting for checks to clear. This proposal template lets you take payments directly from the proposal, using the integrations with PayPal, Stripe, and GoCardless.
