None.Other services CAN be included, but no service besides writing should be expected.If you are hoping for any kind of help besides the writing, you need to include that in a contract. Some writers have spent enough time in publishing that we have other talents or experience to help you along.For instance, my ghostwriting service is a full-service operation. If needed, I'll visit my clients for

This is absolutely critical to understand before you enter into ANY kind of relationship with ANY kind of ghostwriter:NO ONE CAN GUARANTEE YOU WILL BE PUBLISHED.Again, the closest thing to a guarantee I’m aware of is my own service, only because I will personally produce your book if you don’t get in with someone else. No matter what, you'll end up with at least 1000 copies of your book printed

The only guarantees a writer can offer are those elements in the writer’s hands. This means that a writer can perhaps guarantee your satisfaction with the writing or your money back (though I don’t know if anyone goes even that far). But a writer can of course not ever guarantee publication, unless you are self-publishing.A writer is in charge of the writing ONLY unless he/she has agreed to help

This is completely up to your agreement with your writer, but be careful that this is spelled out before you start.You may get a very low price on writing a book, but revisions cost this much per page or per chapter, etc. On the other hand, you may pay a very high rate to someone willing to offer unlimited revisions.In fact, I think every ghostwriter ought to provide for at least one set of

Timing on a writing project depends on many factors. First of all, what kind of workload is the writer already facing. Is he able to start right away? Will he work only on your project once started, or does he juggle multiple projects? Is this a full-time writer?Also, what is YOUR timeline? A writer may be willing to speed up the project if you have a tight timeline, though costs may go up if you

Most writers request an initial deposit before starting on your work, and then may ask for installments along the way, or may just get paid the rest when the book is complete. This varies between writers, but deposits and installments are very standard. This ensures that the writer gets paid for work done, but also keeps a client from handing over huge wads of cash without having some sort of

This is often one of the first questions asked, and for good reason — a ghost writing project can be expensive! Consider, you are hiring a professional probably for a good 3 months of work. You are paying his or her salary.Now, marketability should really still be the first question, because there is no point in making the investment if there is no market (or if you know the market is just you

The right balance of qualities in a ghost writer really is a matter of personal choice and finances. Let’s take a look at the essentials and the options and see what you’ll be choosing from.• Quality Writing. This is obviously an essential, and you will probably find that not all ghosts produce what you consider quality. (See page on Guarantees.) No matter what someone’s background, if their

This is the first question you should be asking, and hopefully that your ghost writer is asking you. Remember, ask the dentist if you need a root canal and you’re sure to get one. This applies to every business, and you have to be careful that your ghost tries to approach this topic objectively.For instance, many people want to write books about their lives. Because many people want to do this,
