Many large ghostwriting companies quickly branched out into offering package deals when POD took off. They have now dropped their prices for writing your book, but why? The answer is painfully simple. They're trying to get clients to use their printing services, and later, they want clients to start investing even more money in their useless and ineffective promotional packages.
There are many print-on-demand companies out there, and the ghostwriting companies have some stiff competition with companies such as iUniverse. With most people extremely dissatisfied with the quality of writing they receive from these firms, the companies decided to extend the "full range of their services" so that they could keep the sleight-of-hand--the misdirection going--and to keep the false hopes of the client alive.
An honest independent ghostwriter can never guarantee publication, but lo and behold, if the ghostwriting company is actually going to publish the book too, well then it's a case of "problem solved." The client doesn't have to worry about the reality that 98% of all books are not accepted for publication. So the client, ignorant of the publishing industry, buys into the sales pitch about the package deal--the writing, the printing, and the promotion.
The writing is not a great concern to these companies, which is why the manuscripts their subcontracted writers produce are so filled with errors. They want the client to go for the entire package. And you know what? People fall for the scam every day of the week.
Talk to a writer, not a ghostwriting company.
