Information On Ghostwriting Services For Novels And Memoirs

By Freida Michael


To understand why an author would want to use a ghostwriter, first one must understand the concept of ghostwriting. Whether requiring ghostwriting services for novels and memoirs or smaller projects, it is also important to locate the right individual. When an author can find a ghostwriter with knowledge on the subject or topic, one is often going to have a better outcome than otherwise.

Ghostwriting is and of itself an art form. Ghostwriters are often hired by authors who have a story idea without the ability to develop characters, a plot or storyline, or whom just do not have the time to do so. In either case, ghostwriters are often considered the right hand of an author.

For, while most are honest, there are also individuals who wish to be aspiring authors who may only be looking for ideas. While, others may not have the necessary knowledge or experience to write on a specific subject or topic. When character development, plot and storyline are involved, it often takes a well seasoned ghostwriter who has been working for quite some time to do so while also meeting deadlines.

One good way to assure that a writer will work well for a project is to ask for a writing sample in relation to the subject or topic on the project. In doing this, the individual seeking help can see first hand the experience and style of writing held by each applicant. To have the access to the best writers, authors may also want to register on sites in which these individuals look for work.

Freelance writing sites, writing oriented websites, ghostwriter specific sites and others can often provide a number of different individuals from which to see writing samples, or gain other information. While these sites can often provide top quality talent, authors are also generally have to pay top dollar for these individuals, especially since the agency will also get a cut. As such, if an author can afford the high cost of these sites, then one may want to look to sites like craigslist and other sites to locate a ghostwriter.

When looking towards these private individuals and posting sites, it is important to get to know the individual over email, telephone or another format such as Facebook or Twitter. It is often still advised to meet anyone one does not know in a public forum such as a coffeehouse or library setting even after having established an online relationship.

Before hiring anyone online outside of an agency format, it is also good to communicate via email and meet in public places when and where necessary. For, while individuals working through agencies often have a background, history and other information associated with an account, others posting ads in online posting ads often do not. As such, to protect an idea for a project, it is often good to keep the idea a secret up and until the signing of a contract.

Whether hiring someone from a site, or private posting, it is also important to draw up a contract or agreement related to the fulfillment of the project. In some cases, individuals can work on these documents together while at others each may have a private attorney. Whatever the case, it is important that there is a contract which is signed by both parties before any ideas, subjects, topics, or other aspects of the project are discussed in detail.
