10 Places to Outsource Ebook Writing

Do you require a high-quality, informative, and engaging ebook to be written as part of your content marketing plan?

Then this guide is for you. Here are ten of your best options.

1. Writing Studio

Writing Studio offers an Ebook writing service that will produce high-quality and well-researched Ebooks to inform your audience. All of our writers are qualified and experienced and know how to write an ebook that gets results.

We have expert writers in various industries and can cover any topic with authority, whether it’s medicine, SaaS, law, or fintech. You can expect to pay between $0.20 and $0.125 per word based on the size of your order and we can research, write, and edit your Ebook within just 7 business days. 

2. Scripted

Scripted offers a platform to find and hire freelance writers who will be able to write your Ebook for you. Much like more well-known marketplaces like Upwork and Fiverr you simply sign up and post your Ebook project and writers on their platform will then send you proposals to do it for you.

You can then choose the best writer and they will write your Ebook. The biggest downside with Scripted is you have to pay a monthly membership fee of between $149 and $2500 per month depending on how much content you expect to order each month, and on top of this fee, you will also pay between $50 and $70 per 1000 words that you order.

3. Textbroker 

Textbroker is a content marketplace that you can use to find an Ebook writer. You simply list your project and can choose writers based on their star rating – the higher the rating the more you will pay. If your Ebook project requires a lot of writing to be done you have the option of hiring a team of writers through the Textbroker platform.

You can expect to pay between $0.013 and $0.075 per word – but it should be noted the lowest paid (and lowest-rated) writers will not produce very good content so it would be advised to only hire the 4 and 5 star rated writers.

4. Express Writers

Express Writers is a content writing agency not a freelancer platform like Scripted or Upwork. This means you simply upload your Ebook project and they will assign it to one of their content writers without you having to vet the writers. All content ordered is edited and checked for plagiarism and they offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

The downside of this high level of service is their prices are a bit more expensive than other options. You can expect to pay from $0.09 per word, right up to $0.30 per word depending on how quickly you require your Ebook to be written and the level of experience of your writer.

5. WriterAccess

WriterAccess is another freelancer platform that you can post your Ebook project to. They offer a 30-day free trial to use the platform, and then you have to pay a monthly membership fee of between $39 and $349 depending on the level of service you require.

You also pay the writer you work with a per-word fee that they set. This makes it a good choice if you require a lot of content to be written but maybe not the best option if you just want a one-off Ebook to be written.

6. ContentWriters

ContentWriters is a platform to find writers to research and write an Ebook for you. All of their writers are U.S based, and each content order includes editing, unlimited revision requests, and a plagiarism test to ensure it is 100% unique.

ContentWriters assigns your content order to one of their writers, so you don’t have to vet them yourself. Unlike other options, they charge you a flat project fee to write you an Ebook and you can choose to pay more for a faster turnaround. 

7. Upwork

Upwork is one of the largest platforms online to outsource copywriting. You can either post a project and freelancers will send you proposals to write your Ebook or you can search for writers who specialize in writing Ebooks and hire the best one you can find.

Due to the size of the platform, you are likely to find a writer who has experience writing about your industry and each writer has a star rating based on their previous work.

The major downside of using Upwork is you will have to manage the project yourself and you might have to hire an editor to double-check the writer’s work if you are not a great writer yourself. You can expect to pay anywhere from US$15 per hour to US$80 per hour depending on how experienced the writer you hire is.

8. Fiverr

Fiverr is another large online freelancer platform where you can hire Ebook writers from as little as $5. However, for an experienced writer with a good rating, you can expect to pay US$25 or more per hour.

You can hire a writer directly by searching for them on the platform or post a project and ask for writers to send proposals to you to win your Ebook writing job. Once you find a good writer you can send them your writing requirements and pay them through the Fiverr platform.

9. Verblio

Verblio is a U.S based content writing service that promotes itself as SEO specialists. You simply submit your Ebook project order and the company will give your project to one of their experienced writers to produce. This means you don’t have to spend time going through lots of profiles of writers to find a good fit for you.

Verblio charges $119 for a 1000-word Ebook and offers a volume discount for larger orders. You can also save money if you purchase a monthly or annual subscription which is especially good if you require a large amount of content to be written each month.

10. Crowd Content

Another freelance writing platform to consider is Crowd Content. You can post your Ebook order to their website and then choose writers based on their star rating. You can expect to pay $0.022 per word for 1-star writers up to $0.12 per word for 4-star writers. 

Crowd Content have over 6000 writers on their platform and they offer unlimited revision requests for orders. Most reviews of the company are positive but some reviewers say that the lower-rated writers don’t write high-quality content so you should pay more for the higher-rated writers.

Final thoughts

Finding a great writer to produce a high-quality Ebook for your company doesn’t have to be hard, there are lots of great places online to find amazing writers. It really comes down to how much you are prepared to pay and what level of service you want from your content writer or content writing company.
