No Time to Write? Not a Writer? A Ghost Writer Can Help!

Melinda Marsh, D.C., is a chiropractor whose unique healing work has helped hundreds of men and women return from the agony of disabling back injuries to lead happy, productive lives. Not a day goes by that a client doesn't say, "Dr. Marsh, you should write a book!"

Indeed she should. With her expertise she could help thousands, millions even. When I asked her if she was working on a book, she said, "Yes, I've started one. But my patients come first. I'm so busy I don't have time to write!"

Mark Sjogrin invented a simple device that turns banana peels into dish soap. The product works like a charm, but it's the story of how he discovered it that deserves to be a book. "I've tried to write it," he says, "but I get bogged down. I'll never get it finished."

If you have no time to write, or if you're having a hard time finding the words to get your message across, a ghost writer may be the perfect solution. A ghost writer knows how to turn your wonderful ideas into irresistible prose that reads as if you'd written it yourself – only better.

How can a ghost writer help you?
  • A ghost writer can pick up where you pooped out and complete what you've started.
  • A ghost writer can organize your material and make it reader-friendly.
  • A ghost writer can set you up as the expert in your field.
  • A ghost writer can help you get your book published and out into the hands of readers.
  • A ghost writer can save you time and money by doing the writing for you.
And... YOU get all the credit for the published work.

So... what questions do you need to consider before contacting a ghostwriter?
  • What topic are you going to write about?
  • What qualifies you to write on your topic (personal experience, education, or research)?
  • Is the book fiction or nonfiction, or somewhere in-between?
  • What audience is likely to want to buy and read your book?
  • What books have already been written on this topic?
  • How are you going to provide the information (written notes, outline, rough draft, tapes, personal interviews)?
  • What is your goal in writing the book? Do you want to use it as a cornerstone of your business? Are you writing it to entertain? to help people solve a problem? What do you hope readers will gain from reading your book?
  • What plans do you have for publishing (seeking an agent and a conventional publisher, self-publishing, publishing online as an ebook, etc.)?
  • What is your budget for writing this book?
Although you don't have to know the answers to all these questions before contacting a ghost writer, you should start thinking about them today. For more information, go wordweaver4U.com. And I'd love to hear from you. Call me at 760-434-5224!
