GHOSTWRITING IS ALIVE AND WELL

Do you have a book inside of you dying to get out? Consider hiring a ghostwriter for a pain-free experience and quicker outcome.  

How it Works

A good ghostwriter will get to know you well enough to essentially tell your story for you. It typically involves a series of brief phone interviews and research on the topic to gather facts. In the process, a single voice emerges and the passion of the storyteller comes through. The ghostwriter is the necessary vehicle, the muse if you will, who inspires the project and guides it to completion--without which your ideas could languish on the shelf for years. 

Year of the Book

While the past few years were dominated by writing blogs and short-form social posts, 2024 looks like it might be the Year of the Book. Whether it's a downloadable e-book or a full-scale, printed book, what better way to share your knowledge and impress your clients? I have clear evidence of this trend in my own work, as existing clients are asking me to ghostwrite their books. For some, it is a first-time venture into the world of publishing, for others it is the next novel, memoir, or textbook they are authoring.

Impact

Books, or booklets, can be made available for sale when presenting at a professional conference or private speaking engagement. You can even hold a book signing event to promote the release, perhaps at a venue that relates to the topic. Printouts of white papers serve the same purpose but lack the impact of an actual bound book.

Benefits

Publishing a book in your area of expertise lends credibility, builds your reputation, and provides another income stream. The electronic age may offer quick, convenient access to downloadable information. However, many people still enjoy the feel of a tangible book they can hold in their hands and read at night after turning off all blue light devices for optimum sleep.

Trending

Being published is no longer limited to academia, where professors must 'publish or perish.'  It is now a common personal goal of people in business or just about anyone who has a story to tell. And with book templates in Microsoft Word and self-publishing through amazon.com, it has never been easier. All you need to do is put the words on paper, as they say.

DIY vs. Ghostwriting

If you have the time to do it yourself, that's great. If not, I am here to offer my writing acumen so you can keep doing what you do best. You still own the content and get to have your name as the author. This is one instance when I am perfectly happy being invisible.
