More ghost writing Q & A
October 22, 2007
Q: How long will the book take?
Again, it depends on the project. Generally speaking, a full-length book takes 4 – 6 months to ghostwrite.
Q: Does the ghostwriter get a credit on the book? If it’s truly ghostwritten, then no, the writer does not receive any kind of credits. Depending on the arrangement, a co-author or “with” credit could be negotiated. If so, the fee structure usually changes or decreases.
Q: How much will I need to be involved?
In most cases, you’ll only need to supply access to you and your information. Weekly phone interviews and occasional feedback/approvals are typically all that is required. A good ghostwriter works independently, providing as much or as little interaction as you’re comfortable with.
