No, it is not very expensive. Considering the cost and benefit ratio, it can even be very cheap. In general, only after an examination of each specific case can a budget be made. It will all depend on the time the ghostwriter for hirewill spend on his project. The price may go up if there is a need for long recorded interviews to be transcribed, bibliographic survey on the subject, research in libraries or archives, detailed analysis of books of minutes or old correspondence, obtaining certificates from notaries, or translation of documents. The less time the work takes, the more its price will be reduced. What do you think?
