Questions ghostwriters ask

Can I ask about genre, word count, or timeline before booking?

Yes - Custom Fields let you collect this on the booking form, optionally required.

Do clients have to book through my booking page, or can I add bookings myself?

No. Clients don't need to use your public booking page for a booking to show up in your account. You can click Add Client to save someone's contact details ahead of time, or use Create Booking / Quote to log an appointment yourself. That's handy for phone calls, emails, walk-ins and referrals. Price it from your services and add-ons, or choose Custom quote to enter a one-off price you've already agreed. These bookings sit in the same account as your online ones, so you can keep all your clients and appointments in one place. Bookings you create yourself don't email the client automatically. Open the booking and click Email Client to send a pre-filled confirmation.

Can clients pay me by credit or debit card?

Yes - turn on Stripe Payments in your dashboard and a client's card gets charged, in full or as a deposit, straight into your own Stripe account before their request is even sent. It's entirely optional, though - you're always in control of payment, and can just as easily take cash, run a card in person with something like Square, or send your own payment link instead.

Will client information stay confidential?

1minutebooking doesn't publish anything you don't put on your page - client names, manuscripts, and booking details stay private to your dashboard. You're still responsible for your own NDA or confidentiality agreement with each client, same as before.

Can I require notice before a same-day booking?

Yes - set a minimum notice window in hours.

Do I need a separate app to manage bookings?

No - 1minutebooking is entirely web-based and works from any browser.
