What is ghostwriting?

Ghostwriting involves hiring someone to write, or help write, a book or other written matter for you. Some ghostwriters even write screenplays, song lyrics, articles blog posts, speeches, etc. However, the most commonly ghostwritten projects are usually books, especially nonfiction. Typically, the ghostwriter’s name does not appear on the book's cover.

A transformative and supportive writing experience.

Why hire a ghostwriter?

People hire ghostwriters for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, people lack the time to write, or they don't feel confident in being able to write an entire book by themself.

Those who do hire ghostwriters tend to finish writing their book sooner and with fewer issues, and they produce a book that is generally better-written and is easier to read.

If you've ever hired an expert to do a job you're not capable of or aren't confident of doing, then you may want to look into hiring a ghostwriter if you want to write a book.

What does a ghostwriter cost?

When you hire a ghostwriter, especially a good one, you are hiring a professional who has spent years as a professional writer and who has written hundreds of thousands of words.

While there is no specific license or degree needed for someone to become a ghostwriter, any good ghostwriter is a professional and should be treated that way.

For this reason, ghostwriters charge for their services, and hiring a ghostwriter should be looked on as investment.

While the potential investment can vary, expect to pay anywhere between $20,000 to $50,000 or more for a ghostwritten book. That price can vary depending on the project and the book's length.
