Hello! I'm a very experienced writer who has worked in games, comics, press, and more. I'm also a native English speaker. In regard to your project, appreciate war stories and the human elements that are tied to them, but I would caution you that there is a thousand other products/stories out there in both fiction and non-fiction genres. The key is to find what is unique about your story and really bring that to the surface, and that rarely is something people expect (especially going into it for the first time). I'd like to say upfront that I don't often do ghostwriting (and I charge more for it when I do), and you will probably prefer to credit the work to keep the writing costs manageable. On that point (and especially since you mentioned you'd prefer to pay by chapter) here's a breakdown of what my bid includes: A professional critique of your outline followed up by an interview/meeting to discuss it, as well as the genre of the book, the contents of the first few chapters, a first draft of up to fifty pages (likely two to three chapters) and one re-write for the same body of work. If you're satisfied with the work we can discuss a followup contract to complete the entire book, and I'll be in a much better position to quote you an accurate price for the remaining chapters. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
