WHAT ABOUT COPYRIGHT AND ROYALTIES?

Understanding copyright issues is pretty easy when it comes to ghostwriting. Put simply, the ghostwriter agrees that the author owns the copyright (sometimes misspelled as copywright or copywrite) to the finished work, regardless of whether or not the ghost writer is acknowledged in the publication.

As far as royalties are concerned, these too are assigned to the client/author rather than the freelancer. Sometimes a freelance writer may be willing to negotiate a lower fee in exchange for a portion of the book royalties or even some form of acknowledgement on the book cover, but this is not always the most beneficial arrangement for the author or the freelancer.

HOW DO I FIND AN EXCEPTIONAL GHOSTWRITER?

A lot of people claim to be experienced ghostwriters, but very few of them are actually skilled in this type of writing. It takes an exceptional writer to successfully ghost write a book, but there are other important skills as well.

Your ghostwriter must have strong interviewing skills in order to effectively draw out your ideas and story concepts. He or she must understand how to structure a book so that it keeps the reader interested and engaged, and be able to write in a style that captures your personality rather than their own. You also must find someone who is unbiased and can be trusted to maintain confidentiality no matter what.

At Exquisitewriting we have access to ghostwriters literally from across the world, all of which have outstanding skills. Whatever your needs may be, we can help by matching you with one of our professional writers who will make your project shine.

HOW MUCH DOES A GHOSTWRITER COST?

The cost of hiring a ghostwriter will vary depending on the scope of your project and the experience of the freelance writer. As with most things, you’ll get what you pay for in the long run. Remember that your book reflects you and you want your readers to connect with the “real” you. The only way to do this is by investing in a professional ghostwriter who will work closely with you until the end product is exactly the way you want it.
