Ghost Writing - The Spooky Truth
You write a book for someone else, and they pay you to put their own name on it. Is that even legal? It is. And professional ghost writers defend their right to do it. There’s money to be made here because there are many people who have a lot to say but do not necessarily have the time nor the skills to write it all down. However, there are some pitfalls to the ghost writing business. First piece of advice? Always have a contract in place before you start the actual writing. It will save you a lot of heartache - and lawsuits - in the future. It’s worth remembering that not all ghost writing will entail writing books. Some corporate executives want their company statements written by someone else. Scientists and doctors sometimes procure the services of ghosts to write their dissertations and academic reports. Celebrities have been known to hire ghosts to maintain an online presence for them. Webmasters too will often want their sales pages written for them
