Let's Help You Turn It Into a Manuscript
Have a story to tell but not the time or words to write it? Our professional ghostwriters capture your voice, ideas, and expertise — and write it in a way that sounds authentically like you. NDA-protected. You retain 100% authorship and all rights.
Quick Answer
Ghostwriting services in India involve hiring a professional writer to write a book, memoir, or article under the client's name. It is completely legal and has been standard practice for centuries among executives, politicians, and authors. Free Mind Consultancy provides NDA-protected ghostwriting with full authorship transfer — you retain 100% rights and are credited as the sole author.
How Much Does Ghostwriting Cost in India?
Free Mind's ghostwriting package starts at ₹3,000 for a manuscript of approximately 100–150 pages, and includes ghostwriting support, book publishing support, ISBN, and a podcast-style audio adaptation as one bundled package rather than a per-word or per-page rate. The three things that actually move cost up from there: manuscript length (a 300-page business book needs more interview and drafting time than a 100-page one), research depth (a memoir drawing purely on your own interviews costs less to produce than one requiring archival or third-party research), and genre (a straightforward narrative moves faster than a technical or academic manuscript needing a subject-matter reviewer). We don't publish a generic price table for every combination of these — exact scope and cost are confirmed on your free consultation call once we've actually heard the project, not before.

Frequently Asked Questions — Ghostwriting India
What is ghostwriting and is it legal in India?
Ghostwriting is hiring a professional writer to write content published under the client's name. It is entirely legal and has been standard practice for centuries among politicians, executives, celebrities, and authors worldwide. At Free Mind, every engagement is protected by a legally binding NDA and a full rights transfer agreement. Once your manuscript is ready, you'll also want to register the copyright under your own name — a separate step from the ghostwriting agreement itself.
Do I owe the ghostwriter royalties or ongoing credit?
No. The ₹3,000 package is a one-time fee, not a royalty arrangement — the ghostwriter has no ongoing claim on sales, credit, or the copyright once the rights transfer agreement is signed. You own the manuscript outright and are listed as sole author on the published work.
How does the ghostwriting process work at Free Mind?
The process starts with structured interview sessions (video or audio) where the ghostwriter captures your voice, ideas, stories, and perspective. The writer then drafts chapters progressively and shares for your review. Multiple revision rounds are included until the manuscript sounds authentically like you.
How long does ghostwriting a book take in India?
A full-length book (50,000-80,000 words) typically takes 3-6 months depending on the number of interview sessions, client availability for reviews, and revision depth. Shorter projects like thought leadership articles or speeches take 1-4 weeks.
Can I be listed as the sole author of a ghostwritten book?
Yes, completely. You are the author. The ghostwriter works anonymously under a full NDA and rights transfer agreement. Free Mind never claims credit for or discloses ghostwritten work under any circumstances.
Will the ghostwriter understand my specific industry?
Yes. Free Mind matches clients with ghostwriters who have demonstrated expertise in the client's domain — business, governance, academia, health, or technology. For highly technical subjects, a subject-matter expert reviewer is added to the team to ensure accuracy.
What does the ₹3,000 package include?
Ghostwriting support for a manuscript of approximately 100–150 pages, book publishing support, ISBN, and a podcast-style audio adaptation. Exact deliverables, timeline, and any add-ons are confirmed on your free consultation call — we don't want to promise something before we've heard your idea.
