Do You Need to Hire a Ghostwriter to Write Your Book or Blog?
The Writing King is the Right Ghostwriter to Write Your Ideal Book or Articles
Words are powerful. Books are influential. People are more likely to pay attention to your opinions and ideas when they know you have written a book or a series of articles. Authors are highly respected and find it easier to get speaking engagements, interviews, notice from the press, and gain recognition from employers and potential customers. Your own book or series defines your brand, establishes your credibility, and shows your expertise. Would you like to discuss how I can help you write your book or articles?
Being an author will give you a level of respect and recognition that raises you far above the competition. Your own book gives you the opportunity to communicate your unique, interesting story to your customers and audience in exactly interesting how you want. Getting your story ghostwritten interesting is a great way to save time and take advantage of the skills of an excellent professional writer who will present your ideas and concepts in the best possible light.
I’m sure you have many questions to ask about ghostwriters.
- How do you hire a ghostwriter?
- Where do you find ghostwriters? I know it’s not like they show up at parties and announce themselves.
- Once you find one, how do you know they are any good?
- What does ghostwriting cost?
- Once you hire a ghostwriter, what are the next steps?
On this website, I hope I can help you by answering these and many other questions about ghostwriting and other subjects. My goal is to help you understand the ghostwriting profession so you can find the best ghostwriter for your project.
Why Hire a Ghostwriter?
Ask yourself a few questions about why you want to hire a ghostwriter to write your book or blog series:
- Do you want your business to stand out from the competition?
- Do you want to be seen as THE expert in your field?
- Do you have a story to tell about your business, your journey, or your services?
What problems are you trying to solve?
- You need to stand out from the competition.
- Your business needs quality content.
- You need content, but you don’t have the time or don’t know how to write.
- You need to build brand awareness quickly.
Are you working hard every day to keep your business going? For many people, this is the biggest barrier to writing. You have a business to run, employees to manage, and sales to make. Who has the time to write a book?
Many of my clients come to me because they know a book will prove their expertise and help them expand their business. Often, they have tried many other ways to market and promote themselves, their business, and their services.
I know how hard it can be to establish yourself and become known and respected. For years I struggled to be seen on the internet in places such as LinkedIn, Facebook, message boards, YouTube, and Instagram. No matter what I did to promote my services, few people seemed to notice. In fact, my social media and website gathered cobwebs and it all seemed to be a colossal waste of time.
Do you enjoy wasting your time and money on random promotions? Do you like to spend your hard-earned dollars and limited time writing articles for your blog or LinkedIn with no results? Do you really have time to waste on activities such as these that don’t seem to accomplish anything?
Or do you want your customers to come to you, pre-qualified and ready to purchase your products or services? Do you want your business to expand to new heights? Would you like to become so credible that clients automatically trust what you sell and have to say?
The answer is to put yourself out there as the expert by publishing a book which gives you credibility and establishes you as the expert in your field. People respect authors, and a book increases brand awareness. You don’t even need to know how to write! Find and hire a ghostwriter to do the work for you! A ghost writer gives you the time to run your own business instead of learning to write and managing a book project.
In the articles on this site, you’ll learn about ghostwriting and other services and how these can help you expand your business, increase your web presence, and build your brand to attract and keep customers. Hiring a ghost writer is one of the best methods to improve your bottom line for the long term.

Ghostwriting Your Book Is The Answer
Did you know the best way to establish your credibility in the eyes of your customers, peers and potential employers is to write and publish a book? Hire a ghostwriter to help you get this done fast.
- Are you finding that your clients don’t take you seriously?
- Do you lose bids for no apparent reason?
- Do the press and media ignore you?
- Do you feel you don’t stand out among the competition?
It’s tough to be taken seriously enough to win bids, land customers, and gain media exposure. Establishing credibility takes time and effort. Becoming known as the expert in your field can feel like it’s almost impossible. A professional writer for hire, a ghostwriter, can help you stand out.
The lack of credibility and failing to be seen as an expert costs you and your company business.
Everything changes when you become a published author. Publishing a book helps you by building awareness of your brand. But who has the time and energy to write a book? That’s where a ghostwriter steps in! When you tell a future client that you’ve authored a book about your expertise (you never need to tell them it’s ghostwritten) and then show them the paperback version (and maybe even give them a signed copy), their eyes will light up and you will immediately gain their respect and trust. After all, you wrote the book on the subject.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Ghostwriting?
A ghostwriter is a writer who writes without receiving credit for what they do. They typically get paid a fee in advance and in return you receive a manuscript, credit for the work as the author, and any royalties. Find out more here. [more]
How Does Ghostwriting Work?
[Page includes Infographic]
First, you have to find a ghostwriter, someone that you can work with and trust. Before you hire a ghostwriter, you interview them, negotiate the cost and sign a contract. Once the project begins, the ghostwriter interviews you, performs research, and writes your book or other material (blog article, song, script, or whatever else you need.) [more Infographic]
Do Ghostwriters Get Credit?
Whether or not a ghostwriter gets credit depends on the agreement that you make with them. Ghostwriters write your manuscript; your name appears on the cover. If you want, you can mention your ghostwriter on the copyright page or in an acknowledgments section. [more]
Do Ghostwriters Get Royalties?
In most cases, your ghostwriter will be paid a fee to write your manuscript and you will receive the royalties once the book starts to sell. [more]
Is Ghostwriting Unethical?
Some people feel that hiring a ghost writer is unethical because the story is written by someone other than the author named on the book cover. Ghostwriting is an honorable profession that has existed for centuries. This is because a ghostwriter serves as a conduit between your ideas and concepts and your manuscript. They facilitate the creation of your work, but it’s still yours. [more]
How Do I Hire A Ghostwriter?
Ghostwriters typically offer a free consultation so you can tell them about your project and learn a bit about their services. From there, you will negotiate a rate and a contract (be sure you get a signed agreement). Once you hire a ghostwriter, they will interview you, do research, and write your book. [more]
How Much Does A Ghostwriter Cost?
The cost of ghostwriting varies depending on length, number of interviews, amount of research and a variety of other factors. Do your research before you hire a ghostwriter. [more]
How Much Money Do Ghostwriters Make?
The amount of money that a ghostwriter makes is dependent on their confidence, experience, and the needs of the client. [more]
Reasons to Hire a Ghostwriter
Ghostwriting is very common and occurs far more often than you’d believe. The people who write the copy for websites generally are not credited for the work; they are ghost copywriters. You may even have hired a ghostwriter to write your resume, update your LinkedIn profile, or write an article for your blog. Ghostwriters do far more than just write books.
A ghost is a professional freelance writer and is an expert at writing books or anything else that you might need. Ghost writers write your manuscript or articles. The author of the book–credited on the cover–is the person who hires the ghostwriter. In many cases, there is no mention of the ghost anywhere in the book, although sometimes the author may decide to include a thank you in the acknowledgments section or on the copyright page. Well-known ghostwriters often are listed on the cover of the book to help with sales.
What To Look For In A Professional Ghostwriter
A good ghostwriter is passionate about their writing. For them, it’s not just a job, it’s their life. When you talk to them, you’ll hear love for writing in their voice, and the passion for helping people with the power of language. Ghostwriters aren’t just writers, they are artists who use words instead of paint or stone or other materials. You can get a feel for their passion during the initial free consultation.
Naturally, a ghostwriter should understand how to use your language of choice to communicate to your audience. They need to intimately understand the concepts of grammar, spelling and style, and they must be well versed in how to make a story exceptional. Excellent ghostwriters can make a boring, dull subject exciting and interesting. Ask your ghostwriter for samples of their work, ghostwritten or not. Professional writers have been published in articles, blogs, books of their own, white papers, and so forth. Even if they can’t provide copies of works they’ve done for clients, they should be able to provide copies of their own published materials.
Keep in mind that ghostwriting a book is a project. It’s not a simple matter of just sitting down and banging out a bunch of words; there are interviews to be performed, research to be done, schedules to keep, and budgets that need to be met. All these tasks require good project management skills. During the free ghostwriter interview, ask the ghostwriter questions about how the project will be managed, what happens if changes are made, who handles what, and how status will be communicated.
How much does ghostwriting cost? The cost can vary greatly depending on the length of your book, how much research needs to be done, how many interviews must be performed, the subject matter, and a variety of other variables. Discuss all the variables during your consultation so that you are comfortable with the pricing structure of the project. Your book is intended to demonstrate your professionalism, establish your credibility, and reinforce your expertise. Don’t skimp on the price and go with an inexperienced or unsuitable ghostwriter just to save some money. Frankly discuss your budget and concerns about price with your ghost writer during the consultation.
You can find cheap ghostwriters for hire just about anywhere, both online and in your local area. But you know the old saying, “you get what you pay for”, and this is no exception. Writing a book is not an simple task – if it was simple, everyone would do it. Your story is important and it deserves to be well written, interesting and useful.
How I Can Help You By Ghostwriting Your Book
If you have other questions, you can get a copy of my free e-book “So you want to hire a ghostwriter?” or you can read additional articles in the blog.
People look up to published authors. When you publish a book about your business, your story and your techniques, you say to the world, “I know what I’m talking about.”
But you may not have the skills required to write, proofread and publish a book, and even if you do, who wants to spend that much time writing? After all, don’t you have a business to run? Hire a ghostwriter to free up your time so you can concentrate on your important responsibilities.
That’s where my ghostwriting services can help. I will interview you to get your story and find out your unique voice. After that, I’ll take it from there and write your book for you, then turn the finished ghostwritten manuscript over to you for review. When the process is complete, you’ll have a finished manuscript ready to send to an editor or proofreader. Schedule a free consultation today to discuss your ghostwriting project.
A book establishes your credibility; Ghostwriting makes writing a book easy.

Book Coaching and other Author Services
If you prefer, you can take a more active role in the writing process, and lower the cost, by writing much of the book yourself, and contract with me to coach you through the process. This way, you have an expert working with you every step of the way towards finishing your manuscript. I will work with you as your writing coach, if that is what you need, walk you through the publication process or just be there for one-on-one coaching as needed.
Writing thousands of words or hundreds of pages is daunting enough, but then having to make sure it all makes sense and engages readers requires the help of an expert. On top of that, the whole process of formatting, publishing, and marketing can feel like climbing Mount Everest.
Having trouble with your book? Book coaching will help!
I can help, whether you need a writing coach for your novel to help you with your plot and characters or a business book coach to work with you to compile that pile of notes and essays you’ve written over the years into a book you can be proud of.
If you need help with any part of your book, contact The Writing King for a free consultation. I’ll be happy to discuss whatever you need to help you get your book done and published! Won’t that feel great?
