What does a ghostwriter do?

Picture
You may have heard about ghostwriters, but aren’t sure what they do for their clients. The easiest way to explain what a ghostwriter does is to give you an example.

A small business owner, Jill, wants to write a book about her work as a human resources expert. Why does she want to write a book? Being a published author gives you credibility and notoriety for your work. You are seen as a legitimate professional in your field when you’ve written a book. Additionally, becoming an author also opens you up to many more speaking engagements.

Do you have to write a book to be an expert? No. Will you have less recognition? Yes. The fact is, being an author gives you a considerable advantage over others in the same field and a higher trust level with your current and potential clients. People who are authors gain




immediate credibility when they have written a book, and for a good reason.
Writing a book is an undertaking most people decided to take only once in their life. The process can be long and tedious, especially if you don’t like to write, you have a full-time job, or you have children. I’ve heard stories of authors with children who would get up early, around 5 am, or stay up late, until midnight, every day and night for two to three years for their books to be complete. That’s a firm and long-term commitment to make for your novel, which is why authors have more credibility.
A good ghostwriter can dramatically shorten the length of time for your book to be published since your book will be their full-time job for six months to a year of their time. In addition to shortening the length of time to having your book published, a ghostwriter can also give you ideas for your content, edit your information, assist you to organize chapters and assist you with publishing.
Each ghostwriter has a different set of skills that they bring to the table when writing your book. Before you employ a ghostwriter, have a set of questions available to ask them based on what you need or need to know.
If you’re not sure about hiring a ghostwriter, you can contact me at Write For You by making an appointment on my online calendar for a free 15-minute consultation. I’d be glad to answer your questions to see if hiring a ghostwriter is right for you!

    I love to write, I mean really love to write. Connecting an audience with your backstory is my specialty. My cat, Jack, likes to assist by occasionally sitting on my laptop keys. You can find my writing antics here on my blog, or check out my podcast Travel Gluten Free. If you're ever in Park City, UT, give me a shout for a local's hiking tour!
