Hire the Best Ghostwriters

Ghostwriters are writers for hire that receive money in exchange for a completed job, but with no byline on an article. When working with a ghostwriter, you should expect to pay more for the ability to place your own byline on the work they create.

Ghostwriters are hired for the quality of their work, and can be hired to write for a variety of things, such as books, sales copy, business and ad copy, and articles. Most often, ghostwriters are used for writing books. It’s a common practice, and famous authors such as Ian Fleming—creator of James Bond and Tom Clancy—have used ghostwriters to help them.

Some well-known ghostwriters can share the credit but take a lower fee, while others that remain anonymous may be given an advance and a percentage of the gross profits of the book once it is sold.

When hiring a ghostwriter, look for someone with experience as a freelance writer, preferably with some books published under their name (if you're looking for someone to help you write a book) or experience writing for websites or other kinds of copy. A public portfolio may not tell their entire story, but you can ask for samples behind the scenes when hiring.
