Hiring a Qualified Ghostwriter


By Evan Bailyn



When you make the decision to hire a ghost writer, you are taking the last step toward getting your great idea published and establishing yourself as an author to be reckoned with.

How long has this idea been boiling in your head? How many times have you attempted to write it yourself, only to realize that you are an idea person – not a writer? Hiring a ghostwriter to take this project off your hands so that you can move onto the next one is a decision that’s money in the bank. Let someone else do the grunt work of writing.

What A Qualified Ghostwriter Will Do

A ghost writer will edit any work you’ve already written and want included in the project. She will produce more research at your request. She will sign a non-disclosure agreement which provides your complete confidentiality. She will take all of your notes, interviews, outlines, and audio or interview tapes and write a tight, professional manuscript as well as edit the entire thing so that it flows with a logical and compelling chronology. In short, she will create a work that you will be proud to sign your name to.

What A Qualified Ghostwriter Will Not Do

A professional, experienced ghostwriter will not write about anything that you don’t want him to. He won’t steal your idea or publish your manuscript under his name. He won’t break your confidentiality. He won’t use your research for any other project or include research in your project that you don’t approve. A qualified ghostwriter will not ignore your attempts at communication or hand you a sub-par manuscript that is unedited and unprofessional. A qualified ghostwriter will do none of these things.

Qualifications of A Great Ghostwriter

The ghost writer best suited to your project will have any or all of the following:

  • Experience and interest in your subject matter
  • Sample clips
  • A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in English and/or Writing
  • A schedule that is flexible enough to accommodate you
  • The ability to take in and organize all the information you have gathered
  • The ability to apply your vision in terms of style
  • The ability to communicate quickly and efficiently

Ghostwriter Fees

Every project is unique, has specific needs, and therefore, the price may be more or less for one project than for another. The amount of research necessary for the ghostwriter and the speed with which you need the project completed will affect the final cost. If long distance phone calls, excessive copying, or mailings are required for the project’s completion, these costs are generally factored into the total, as well. Travel accommodations and related costs are not generally included in your final bill.
