What kinds of writing do ghostwriters do?
Well, here’s the good news. They can write anything anyone is willing to pay them to write, from a wedding toast to the next best-selling novel. Here are the most common ghostwriting assignments: • Business books • Corporate histories • Family histories • Memoirs and autobiographies • Proposals 4. What will the ghostwriter want to know before he or she agrees to write your book? About you, the author: • Why do you want a ghostwriter? • What do you hope to achieve with the book/project? • What kind of working relationship do you desire/envision? • What, if anything, have you done up to this point (research, interviews, notes, transcriptions, outline, writing)? • What is your experience with previous writers/ghostwriters? • Do you have a budget? (If so, what is it?) • Are you just exploring, or are you committed to the project? • Are you interviewing other ghostwriters? (If so, on what will your decision be based?) About the process: • Who’s involved? (how many people?) • Who’s in charge
