Lead magnet ebook writing service: human-written, fixed fee from $699.
A short, useful ebook that earns an email address and a sales conversation. Written by a human writer in your voice, edited, designed, and delivered as EPUB and PDF, for one fixed fee.
Quick answer
A lead magnet ebook is a short guide (usually 5,000-15,000 words) that you give away in exchange for an email address. Our Starter package covers up to 15,000 words for $699 in about three weeks: outline, writing, one editorial pass, a standard cover, EPUB and PDF files, and two revision rounds. You own every word.
What a lead magnet ebook has to do
A lead magnet is not a smaller version of your book. It has one job: solve one specific problem well enough that the reader trusts you with the next one. That is what turns a download into an opened email, and an opened email into a call.
So the brief starts with the reader and the next step, not the page count. Who downloads it, what they are stuck on, what quick win they get in the first chapter, and which offer the last page points to.
- One reader and one problem, named in the title
- A quick win in the first few pages
- Your method or framework, not generic advice
- A clear next step to your offer, call, or course
Who this is for
Coaches and consultants who explain the same method on every call. Agencies and SaaS teams that need a guide worth trading an email for. Financial advisors, therapists, and other experts who want something more useful than a checklist. Small businesses building an email list from scratch.
If you can talk through your expertise for an hour, we can turn it into a lead magnet that sounds like you.
What you get
The Starter package is built for lead magnets and short guides. If your guide needs more depth, research, or KDP publishing setup, the Professional package covers up to 30,000 words.

- Chapter outline you approve before drafting
- Up to 15,000 words written in your voice

- Two revision rounds
- Full rights: the ebook is yours to give away or sell
Price, length, and timeline
Lead magnets fit the first two packages. Fees are fixed for the agreed length and scope, with no inflated "was" prices and no countdown timers.
| Package | Fixed fee | Length | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $699 | Up to 15,000 words | 3 weeks |
| Professional | $1,499 | Up to 30,000 words | 5 weeks |
How a lead magnet project runs
We agree the reader, the promise, and the next step on a discovery call, then send a fixed quote and a dated schedule. You approve a chapter outline, the writer drafts, and you review as chapters land.
If the sample chapter misses your voice, we rewrite it at no cost before the rest is written. Most short projects take a few hours of your time in total.
Freelancer, AI tool, or studio?
Each route can work. The difference is what you still have to do yourself after the draft arrives.
| Marketplace freelancer | AI writing tool | ebookwriters.us | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who writes it | One freelancer | Software; you edit | A human writer matched to your field |
| Your voice | Depends on the writer | Generic unless you rewrite it | Matched from interviews and samples |
| Editing and cover | Usually extra | Not included | Included in the package |
| Price | Hourly or per word | Subscription | Fixed fee from $699 |
| Ownership | Check the contract | Check the tool's terms | 100% yours, in writing |
Frequently asked questions
How much does a lead magnet ebook cost?
Our Starter package is $699 for up to 15,000 words, including writing, one editorial pass, a standard cover, EPUB and PDF files, and two revision rounds. Longer guides fit the Professional package at $1,499.
How long does it take?
About three weeks for a Starter guide of up to 15,000 words, once the brief is agreed. A Professional guide of up to 30,000 words takes about five weeks.
Who owns the lead magnet?
You do. Rights transfer to you before writing begins, so you can give the ebook away, sell it, or turn it into a course without asking us.
Do you use AI to write it?
No. Your lead magnet is written and revised by a human writer under studio editorial review. Ordinary tools may support research or admin, but the prose is written for your voice.
What do I need to provide?
A short brief: who the reader is, the problem the guide solves, and the offer it should lead to. Then one interview or a few recorded calls, plus feedback as chapters arrive.
Can you write a workbook or checklist instead?
Yes. Tell us the format on the contact form. We quote workbooks and guides the same way: by agreed length, revision rounds, and the files you need.
