What is a Ghost Writer
August 17, 2006
“Nell, what is a ghost writer? I’m confused as I’ve never heard this term before?”
I received many of these types of questions after sending out information in my newsletter about becoming a ghost writer. And it’s a good question because many people have never heard of this type of work or even the name!
Ghost writer means that you are hired to write an article for your client and your client gets to put their name on the article. Ghost writing isn’t anything new. Many people have used ghost writers in the past for writing their books (like celebs for instance)…making their thoughts, experiences and life look pretty in a book.
Lets face it many of us don’t have the talent for writing, but we have a lot to say! So that is where ghost writers come into play. A ghost writer can take the ideas and information a client has to say and put together nice article, book, e-book, special report (anything the client needs). Or a client can tell the ghost writer “I want an article written about starting a business online” and the ghost writer will research the topic and write the article.
Just remember that as a ghost writer you’re being paid for the article, but the client gets to put their name on it and take credit for the article. Your name will be no where in that piece of work.
Rates for ghost writers can vary. It depends on the type of work you’re being hired for. Obviously someone who writes an e-book for a client will be paid more than if a client just needs a 300 word article.
