Not everyone has the time, resources, or writing skills to write their own book – and that’s where ghostwriting services come in.
Professional ghostwriting services help you to write the book of your dreams without ever having to put your fingers to the keyboard.
Sound to good to be true?
It’s not!
At selfpublishing.com, we help thousands of authors to write their stories, and we have the best ghostwriting services on offer to back you up.
But how do ghostwriting services work? And what is a ghostwriter in the first place? Let’s talk a little bit about the craft before diving into what our company can offer you.
What are ghostwriting services?
Ghostwriting services are when you hire someone else (called a ghostwriter) to write your book for you. Even though they are writing your book, it will be your name on the finished project.
You don’t need to mention the ghostwriter at all.
You may be wondering: Is ghostwriting legal!?
Absolutely.
Your ghostwriter knows exactly what they are getting into, and they are happy to be paid for the service of writing your book – without any of the credit.
That’s what ghostwriting services are all about!
Now, some ghostwriting services only include a manuscript, but the best ghostwriting services will also include rounds of editing, and maybe even the option of some marketing or publishing help.
Why would you hire a ghostwriter?
There are many reasons someone would hire ghostwriting services. If you are the busy CEO of a business, you probably don’t have the time to sit down and write a book. In which case, you’re going to be looking for a business book ghostwriter.
By doing so, you get the very best possible lead magnet for your business. Having a book (ghostwritten or not) will boost your authority, build awareness of your brand, and increase your sales exponentially.
Maybe you’ve always had a book inside you, but you were never good at writing. You might want professional ghostwriting services to help you out, and that’s totally fine! If that’s how you can get your story out in the world then do it!
You can look into memoir ghostwriting services or fantasy ghostwriting services – whatever you need for your great book idea.
There is no wrong reason to hire ghostwriting services – unless, of course, you are going to go for the cheapest service you can find and fall into a trap. Because not all ghostwriting services are created equally.
So let’s talk about what you should look for in the best ghostwriting services.
What to look for in good ghostwriting services
When seeking good ghostwriting services, consider the following factors:
Experience and expertise
Look for writers with a proven track record in your genre or industry. Their experience should align with your project’s needs.
Writing style
Request samples to ensure the writer’s style matches your voice. They should be able to adapt their writing to fit your tone and perspective.
Research skills
A good ghostwriter should demonstrate strong research abilities, especially if your project requires in-depth knowledge of a specific topic.
Communication
Choose someone who communicates effectively and is responsive to your needs. Clear communication is key to a successful collaboration.
Confidentiality
Ensure the service has a solid confidentiality agreement to protect your ideas and work.
Process and timelines
Inquire about their writing process and how they manage deadlines. A clear timeline can help keep your project on track.
Client testimonials
Look for reviews or testimonials from previous clients to gauge satisfaction and reliability.
Revisions policy
Understand their policy on revisions. You want a writer who is open to feedback and willing to make changes as needed.
Extra add-ons
The best ghostwriting services will offer editing, formatting, book cover design, marketing, and publishing services to help you through every step of the publishing process.
