Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach out to me at scott@scottcatey.com if you can't find an answer to your question.
Digital Publishing & Multimedia Creative Services:
I'm a purpose-driven ghostwriter, editor, producer, and publisher. That means I am motivated by the story end of things--not the money end--and service to my authors and collaborators is my priority. If you have a compelling story and want to work with me, let's identify your budget and see how we can work together.
That said, my established rate information is below. Have a look, but know that I'm willing to negotiate a rate that works for you. And I am happy to meet to discuss your needs and budget any time. Contact me to today for a 1:1 to develop a solution tailored to YOU!
