Hourly rates of ghostwriters can vary widely depending on factors such as experience, field of expertise, type of project, scope, level of difficulty, and individual factors. Ghostwriters offer professional writing services, where they write texts on behalf of clients without disclosing their authorship. Here are rough guidelines for hourly rates of ghostwriters in different regions:

Europe:

Beginner or junior ghostwriters: €20 - €50 per hour

Experienced ghostwriters: 50 € - 100 € per hour

Specialist or renowned ghostwriters: 100 € and more per hour

USA:

Beginner or junior ghostwriters: $30 - $60 per hour

Experienced ghostwriters: $60 - $120 per hour

Specialist or renowned ghostwriters: $120 and up per hour

Prices may also be based on other billing models, such as flat fees per project or per word

Since writing is a creative process and the requirements of each project may vary, it is important to clarify the exact details of the project and set a price accordingly. The ghostwriter's experience, expertise, and scope of the project will all factor into the pricing. It can also be helpful to compare yourself to other ghostwriters in your industry and look for client reviews or recommendations.
