Q. I have some  more questions if you don’t mind. One is that I’m trying to start a ghostwriting business. I am looking to write books and booklets for people who either don’t have the time or the skills to do it themselves. This involves consultations in addition to the actual writing. Are there any halachic restrictions as to what I’m allowed to charge for this service?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that you should charge the ongoing market rates for similar work. If a person is willing to pay you more because he/she values greatly your product or service, you can accept it.
