WHAT IS GHOST WRITING ?

 

Ghost writer or ghost writing are the words that are accidentally found and read in many places these days. This catchy word is nothing to do with any Ghost or other things of that sort.

The common definition of ghostwriting is the act of one person writing in the name of another person, group, company, or institution without receiving a byline or public credit.

Ghostwriting is the process of writing a piece of copy under someone else's name. For example, as a freelancer, you might be hired to write a blog post that's published under the CMO's name. Essentially, ghostwriting is when someone else has the byline on a piece you wrote.

Becoming a ghostwriter requires learning valuable writing and marketing skills. If you're interested in joining this career field, it helps to know how to translate another person's words and ideas into writing.

A ghostwriter is someone who gets paid to create the content for a book or e-book, but they don't get the credit for being the author of the finished work. The person who will officially appear as the 'author' usually hires a freelance ghostwriter to produce the necessary content for an agreed fee.

If you're an expert or professional in a niche with knowledge to share, ghostwriters can help you do that if you're not great with the written word. You might create extensive notes and outlines for the writer to work from. The writer might also interview you to get your story or message before committing it to paper.

Sometimes the ghostwriter is acknowledged by the author or publisher for their writing services, euphemistically called a "researcher" or "research assistant", but often the ghostwriter is not credited. 

Ghostwriting is a timeless way to earn a living as a writer and the demand for ghostwriters is only likely to grow over time. More and more individuals and businesses are waking up to the benefits that quality written content can bring to their lives and livelihoods.

That's a small round up about ghost writing and feel free to read about it without the fear of associating it with the thrillers or so.
