Work With Me
Packages & Pricing.
Eight ways to work with me, depending on where you are and how much support you want. Every package starts the same way - with a conversation about you and your business.
Core Recognition Strategy Tiers
Foundation
Strong, compliant and confident award submissions
£1,675
Excludes King's Awards for Enterprise and UK Honours nominations
- A goal conversation - what you actually want this entry to do for you
- Recommendation of the single best-fit award and categories
- One award, up to 3 category submissions, fully written and submission-ready
- Two rounds of amends
- Final proof, edit and submission
Ideal for: a person or business entering a credible award for the first time, who wants it done right rather than DIY.
Accelerate
Strategic positioning + submissions
£3,495
Excludes King's Awards for Enterprise and UK Honours nominations
- Everything in Foundation, plus:
- 3 awards, up to 3 categories per award, strategically selected across the next 12 months
- Up to 9 category submissions, written and submitted throughout the year
- Judges' interview prep for any shortlisting
- One press release drafted per win, ready to issue
Ideal for: a person or business ready to move beyond a single entry into a deliberate run of the right awards, not just more of them.
Amplify
Awards + leverage across marketing & reputation building
£6,300
Excludes King's Awards for Enterprise and UK Honours nominations
- Everything in Accelerate, plus:
- A bespoke 12-month awards strategy across everything realistically achievable and worth pursuing

- 32 hours of dedicated strategic time across the year, used flexibly - no cap on awards or categories entered
- Full judges' interview coaching
Post-win leverage built out properly - blog content, social content and press release management - Support positioning wins toward your specific ambition - investment, sale readiness, recruitment or personal profile
Ideal for: the business owner or entrepreneur who sees an award win as the start of a campaign, not the end of one.
Elevate
Ongoing recognition strategy & support
£24,950
/year · annual contract, 10% discount if paid upfront (£22,455)
- A continuously managed pipeline of the right awards, revisited as your goals evolve - backed by 100 hours of dedicated strategic time a year, no cap on awards or categories entered
- One King's Awards for Enterprise or one UK Honours nomination included as standard each year - ask about running both in the same year
- All submission writing, judges' interview coaching and post-win leverage from Amplify, as standing scope
- Direct support applying recognition to the specific outcome we agreed at the outset - growth, sale readiness, investment, retention, recruitment, reputation or personal profile
- Support extending recognition into bids, tenders and internal engagement
- Monthly strategic check-ins to reassess goals, pipeline and hours used
- Priority access - a small, deliberately limited number of relationships at any time
Ideal for: the ambitious business owner or entrepreneur ready to commit to this as an ongoing part of their business-building.
Standalone Specialist Engagements
King's Awards for Enterprise
£6,450 · standalone specialist engagement
- A free, no-obligation first conversation - an honest, impartial assessment of whether this is the right fit, before either of us commits to anything
- Full writing of every part of the submission, with unlimited edits until it's right
- Support gathering evidence, creating your online entry portal, and submitting ahead of the deadline
- Support preparing for judges' conversations, plus a press release ready to issue on your success
My guarantee: if you're not successful in year one, I'll write your entry again for the same category the following year, free of charge, in exchange for the judges' full feedback. 98% first-time entry success rate.
Ideal for: a business ready for the UK's most prestigious business accolade. Entries open in May and close in early September - the deadline is strictly enforced.
UK Honours
£6,450 · standalone specialist engagement
- A free, no-obligation first conversation about who you'd like to recognise - this is a conversation, not a sales pitch
- Full writing of the nomination, with no word limit and unlimited edits
- Unlimited Letters of Support gathered and written on your nominee's behalf
My guarantee: a free British Citizen Award entry while your nomination is under consideration, plus a free annual update every year until a result comes through - however long that takes
Ideal for: the nominator - a colleague, family member, friend, trustee or community leader - ready to put someone forward for national recognition. Nominations are open year-round, and this is strictly confidential: your nominee should not know.
Honorary Doctorate
£950 Institution Mapping fee for up to 3 UK-based universities, then £6,000 Nomination Build (+ £2,750 per additional institution)
- Institution Mapping: research into your target university's own process - who decides, who can nominate, how to submit
- Nomination Build: full evidence-gathering and drafting of the case against that institution's specific criteria
- Additional institutions priced at a reduced rate, since your core evidence base largely carries across (up to 3 UK universities on this pricing - beyond that, or for any international institution, I'll provide a custom quote)
Ideal for: recognising a contribution through a university connection - genuinely rarer than King's Awards or UK Honours, since it's entirely at each institution's discretion rather than a fixed annual allocation.
Business Book Ghostwriting
£18,500 - a standalone specialist engagement
- A structured interview process to draw out your expertise, stories and voice
- A full chapter-by-chapter outline, agreed with you before a word of the manuscript is written
- A complete first draft (circa 35,000-45,000 words), written in your voice
- Two rounds of structural revisions, plus a final line-edit and proofread
- Introductions to trusted cover designers and formatters for the final polish
Ideal for: the founder or business leader with genuine expertise and a story worth telling, who wants a professionally written book without giving up the year it would take to write it themselves.
Every package is a conversation first - book a call, and I'll help you work out which one actually fits rather than guessing from a list.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Professional business book ghostwriting in the UK typically runs from around £15,000 to £40,000+, depending on the writer's experience and the scope of research and interviews involved. My Business Book Ghostwriting package is £18,500, and includes the full process from interviews through to a print-ready manuscript.
Most manuscripts take 4-6 months from the first interview to the final proofread, depending on how much source material already exists and how quickly we can work through the interview sessions.
That's the whole point of the interview process - I'm not writing a generic business book with your name on it, I'm drawing out how you actually think and talk, then shaping that into a manuscript. If it doesn't sound like you after the agreed revision rounds, I keep working on it until it does.
No. Some clients arrive with notes, talks, or old blog posts; others arrive with nothing but the story in their head. Either way, the structured interviews are designed to draw the content out of you.
They're tiers of ongoing support, not one-off products - Foundation covers a single award entry, Accelerate builds momentum across several awards in a year, Amplify turns a win into a full campaign, and Elevate is an always-on annual strategy. King's Awards for Enterprise, UK Honours, Honorary Doctorate and Business Book Ghostwriting sit outside these as standalone specialist engagements.
No - every engagement starts with a discovery call, and part of that conversation is working out which package genuinely fits, rather than you guessing from a list.

Every award strategy starts with a conversation about your business, not with a template.
