Ghostwriting Novels

This book is for any author thinking of hiring a ghostwriter, and for any writer thinking of being hired as one. Ghostwriters, and the ghostwritten.

You don’t have to have fame or fortune to have an idea for a novel. You do need to know what to do next, and that is where most ideas sputter and die.

However, there is an army of writers out there who can help you turn that idea into reality. They are ghostwriters, and they underpin the publishing industry. There is absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t hire one yourself.

Authors will learn how novels are put together, and what they can or should expect of their writer. Writers will learn how to adjust their tried and tested skills to writing from inside the head of another person. From both points of view, this book goes through all the steps needed to ghostwrite a novel:

• Developing that initial idea into a plot that will make a gripping story.

• The common mistakes to avoid.

• The legal, financial and practical aspects to take care of.

Above all, this book shows how ghostwriter and ghostwritten can work together in a rewarding partnership to turn that initial idea into the dreamed-of reality – a novel.
