Ghostwriting Services For Novels And Memoirs

By Jordan Schmidt


Ghostwriters have existed for many years now ever since books were being published. Most skilled and detailed writers would offer their ghostwriting services for novels and memoirs of certain authors who do not want to work too much on their publications. Just to give one an idea, here are some of the services that the ghostwriters would provide.

Now the first thing that one should know about would be what exactly a ghost writer does and what his role is in the publishing scene. Basically, these ghostwriters are hired workers who are paid to do tasks for the author. This is done so that more effort and time can be saved in the part of the author and the publishing process can go faster.

Now to start off, it is good to look at novels first because these are the publications that are more popular among readers. Firstly, these writers are hired by the author in order to edit the work of the author. While the other may come up with the drafts and the story line, the ghostwriters are the ones that would clean it up and make it readable for the audience.

Now other than that, sometimes the authors would push pretty much all of the work to the ghostwriters. In other words, the author would most likely just come up with an outline and a story flow then the ghostwriters would be putting it into words. Most authors who are working on several projects all at the same time would do this in order to save up on precious time.

Now next will be the memoirs which entails a lot more work than working on a single novel. Now usually, ghostwriters are tasked to write, edit, and proofread the work that was given to them. Now for memoirs on the other hand, the ghostwriters not only must do the editing but they must also do the research that needs to be done for this type of publication.

Now a memoir is research intensive because memoirs are pretty much like autobiographies that would be written from a first person point of view. In this case, the writer has to think and act like the person who is living in the text. It is because of this that ghostwriters have to do heavy research on the person that they are writing about.

Memoir writers will most likely be the ones to write and clean up the entire piece of work. What the author would usually do would be to provide a draft as well as the flow of the piece and let his team of ghostwriters go ahead and work. From here, the ghostwriters will also do all the editing, cleaning up, and also all the proofreading.

Now one would probably be curious as to how much a typical ghost writer will be paid for this kind of gig. Well for starters, ghostwriters will be getting a standard price or salary for their work and also sometimes a percentage of the royalties from book sales. Of course one will also have to expect that his name will not be given credit.
