VIDEO: The Power of Business Fables
Why a Business Fable?
It’s the easiest, most powerful way to build your platform, create authority, drive business and attract new clients, get speaking engagements, and separate yourself from the competition. And they’re fun.
Why Meaning Books for Your Business Fable?
Michael Levin and The Meaning Books team have ghostwritten more business fables than anyone. In addition, has published five novels of his own–three with Simon & Schuster and two with Penguin/Putnam. His work has been optioned and/or made by ABC, Disney, Paramount, and Steven Soderbergh–so he and his team know how to tell a story!
Also, if you’re going to hire a writer to do a business fable, you need one who understands the business world.
As an entrepreneur, Michael started and sold his prior ghostwriting company, BusinessGhost.com. Maybe you saw his Shark Tank episode! (Season 3, episode 1)
What’s The Meaning Book Process?
First comes the “test drive” phase. You and Michael will brainstorm on several phone or Zoom calls to determine the lessons the book will teach, the story the book will tell, and the characters in the story. Michael will then write the first 20 pages for your review and you’ll edit them with him. If you’re happy with what you see, then you’ll go forward to complete the book. If not, you can use the plan and the work with another writer and owe nothing further.
How Long Does It Take?
The whole process takes 90 to 120 days.
How Much Does It Cost?
Business fables start at $85,000 for up to 100 double spaced pages. Longer books require higher fees.
The fee for the test drive is $15,000, which is applicable to the overall fee, should you choose to go forward.
The test drive fee is deducted from the final fee, should you decide to go ahead, and the overall fee is typically broken up into four or five monthly installments. ACH and checks are accepted, although most clients prefer to use credit cards (so they can get points/miles for becoming an author!).
We offer a 5% courtesy discount if you want to do the book as a one-pay, and we also offer 0% financing for six months through PayPal.
The final “deliverable” is the complete manuscript, copy edited and ready to publish. Michael will guide you in the publishing process and introduce you to the publishers with whom he has worked repeatedly.
