WORK WITH ME
Want to write your business book but don't know how to get started or don't have the time? Hire a ghost-writer, book coach and best-selling author to do it for you.
Book Mentoring - Done with You Service
This is the introductory package where we have 3 x 45 minute sessions together and we get your book journey underway. It’s similar to the one -to -one service listed below but much cheaper and is designed to give you the advice and contacts you need to get a ‘fast start’ on the book you need and want to create.
Fee: $995 + gst.
Book Coaching - Done with You Service
This is where I coach you to write your own book. It is a 3 month process and we meet for half a day on a 1:1 basis every fortnight. By the end of the process, you will have a first draft manuscript of 50,000 words. I also help you with your publishing proposal, introduce you to my publishing contacts, and provide a comprehensive hand holding service to get your book written and published.
Fee: $22K + gst.
One on One - Done for You Service
This is where I write the whole book for you. It takes around 9-11 months from start to getting the book on the shelf. I do everything for you so that you can get on with your work and life. We would need around 10 x 2.5 hour sessions together for me to get the raw material I need to get started on the first draft. From there, I will check in with you on a frequent basis so you can review the content to ensure you are happy with it. I then work with my contacts to get you published. I spend around 400-500 hours to make this entire process happen. I charge by the word and it ranges depending on the word count. It is a complete ‘done for you ‘service.
Please let me know if any of these are of interest and we can have a further discussion.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
ABOUT BERNADETTE
"She is extraordinary! I hired Bernadette as my ghostwriter - co-writer on this project in the end - because she’s just so diligent and extraordinary in what she does. She was the ultimate team partner in making this project come to life, that I’d struggled with for a number of years. I wish the publisher, who initially signed me up, had connected us from the start because it would have been a dream process - like it was for the 12 months we worked together."
Radek Sali, Former CEO swisse Vitamins
"Firstly, we would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to Bernadette Schwerdt, our ghost-writer, for all her help in making this book possible. Thank you for sitting with us for hundreds of hours, for helping us sift through the 200,000+ words we’ve written over the years, and for guiding us through the writing and publishing process that enabled us to find our voice, shape the narrative, and craft the stories that make up this book."
Gabby Leibovich, Founder catch.com
"I wish I'd done it earlier! If you're thinking about working with Bernadette, I'd absolutely say it's a no brainer. I can't recommend her enough. Do it and do it now."
Kobi Simmat, How to Build a Business Others Want to Buy
"I am immensely grateful for her expertise and commitment. Working with Bernadette was an absolute game-changer for me. I couldn't have navigated the process alone—it felt like a daunting task to bring my ideas to life in the form of a book.; she helped bridge the gap between my ideas and transforming them into a tangible manuscript. Committing to that process was truly transformative—and it's been an incredible journey."
Amy Miocevich, Author of 'The Very Good Marketing Guide'
