Now, you've come to the conclusion that you're in dire need of ghostwriting projects. What's next? Hiring ghostwriters for sure, but how can you find great ones whose work you'll enjoy? The top ghostwriters will put a smile on your face with these skills:

Ghostwriting Services That Put You at Ease
Only hire ghostwriters whose skills match your needs and whose writing style makes you comfortable. The right ghostwriter is already waiting, but you're can't match with them if you don't know what style, tone, and content abilities to look for.
With that in mind, here's a short list of writing requirements to make sure that your hired ghostwriters check all boxes:
Hire a Ghostwriter With Fierce Writing Skills
An experienced writer has a good grasp of grammar and language use. Most people know the grammar rules of writing English literature, but using said rules creatively is a skill unique to talented writers.
Hire a Ghostwriter Who Writes Authentically
The internet is flooded with repetitive writing that doesn't benefit the reader all that much. A great ghostwriter will find a unique angle to write from and add your unique author or brand voice for even more authenticity.
Check if Your Ghostwriters Write Accurate Information
Professionals should have the skill to tell trustworthy sources from unreliable ones. To do this, a writer must have a lot of academic and literary knowledge.
They check source authors and references, and also research relevant information to ensure that only the most relevant content makes its way to your books, articles, white papers, and press releases.
Choose the Most Ethical Ghostwriting Services
Have you ever wondered why you so far failed to find a good ghostwriter? Ghostwriters must be highly ethical to give clients the best of their service and creativity.
When it comes to being a professional writer, numerous ethical nuances apply beyond simple plagiarism. We train our writers to flesh out unique content by:
-
Using multiple sources for each chapter and section
-
Making sure that their phrasing and content structure doesn't match other published materials
-
Checking for rewording, translation, and similarities with other authors.
Still Confused? Here Are 10 Steps to Find an Experienced Ghostwriter
Your story deserves only the best writing. Website search results can only take you as far as shortlisting writers with the right skills and acceptable rates. But, what comes next?
You have a great idea that can only be put in motion by a ghostwriter who understands you, your genre, niche/industry, and project goals. Your choice of writing experts is abundant, but there are only a handful of right matches.
Finding the best person to write your book, SEO content, white papers, and press releases are best done in these 10 crucial steps:
1: Outline Your Project Details, Requirements, and Goals
Before you start browsing ghostwriters, prepare a detailed overview of your project. Freelancers write best with clear expectations set beforehand.
First, write free-form notes about the project itself. Is it eBook writing, a series of articles, or website content? Let your future writing expert know what you need, and don't spare words. Be as detailed as you want. You can even provide samples that reflect what you want the finished writing to look like.
After you've outlined your project details, write out a list of 'musts,' or elements that a ghostwriter should include in your writing.
Most common requirements include content length or word count, specific industry, genre, niche and content category, structure preferences, as well as tone and style guidelines that you wish the ghostwriter to follow.
2: Write Down Writer Requirements
What are your expectations from the writer? You're welcome to mention as many as you want, but at The Urban Writers, we've trained our ghostwriter team to abide by the following:
-
Be professional, responsive, and communicate with the client frequently to make sure that your expectations are being met.
-
To be responsible and hold themselves accountable for the work that they produce. Being responsible entails independence in research and writing and being proactive in the creative process.
-
Write unique, creative content without committing plagiarism or other unethical practices.
-
Use various sources and draw inspiration from the most reliable websites, books, studies, and other available resources.
And more!
You can write your own list of requirements and let us know. We will make sure to suggest a writer who'd be the best fit, so that everyone works well together to create a fantastic piece of writing. Our writers take initiative and do the best they can to uplift the quality of writing at hand. They adhere to deadlines and communicate timely to prevent major delays to the project.
3: Shortlist Favorite Writing Experts
Our Platform gives you the possibility to browse freelance ghostwriters, editors, narrators, translators, and designers to find the right match for your project. You can look at their work samples, check their availability, and even send them a personal message to ask additional questions.
4: Browse Writer Portfolios
Check out our writers' samples to see if you like their voice, style, and if their niche specialty matches your project requirements. Our clients usually take at least a couple of days to read through writing samples, which ensures that they'll be happy with the outcome of their projects.
5: Compare Best Writing Samples
After reviewing dozens of different writing styles, it's best to choose three to five favorite writers and compare their samples against one another. This will make your ghostwriter choice easier, and you'll feel more confident moving the project along.
6: Make Your Best Choice
Once you've chosen your favorite writing expert, you can assign your project to them. In fact, if you've already posted a project on our Platform, you can even directly invite your favorite freelancer!
7: Start Your Project and Follow Up
If you've uploaded an outline and shared all the necessary information, the writing can begin. Providing the necessary information allows the writer to work independently and prevents delays.
8: Get Involved in the Writing Process
Our Platform gives you two awesome features to collaborate on your project. The first is our freelancer chat feature, where you can introduce yourself to your writer. You can also use our chat feature to share questions, suggestions, feedback, and ideas to further improve your writing.
The second awesome feature is our unique Document View tab, which lets you not only read your ghostwriter's work in real-time, but also Comment on paragraphs and sentences that your wish to change or improve.
9: Provide Useful Feedback for Revisions
Our Platform gives you numerous possibilities to share feedback and have changes made within our Revision Policy. You can share feedback through chat and via commenting, and you can approve changes that were made once you're happy with the result.
Once the ghostwriter submits the finished project, you can review it once more and approve it for editing if all of your requirements have been met.
10: Complete the Project Once You're Happy
Once your writing is complete, it moves into the editing stage. Similar to monitoring ghostwriting, you can monitor further completion of your project, including editing, design, and formatting.
Once your content is complete, you can approve it, and our support team will further instruct you on how to download your finished copy.
Freelance Writer FAQ: What to Expect From Working With a Ghostwriter?
Successful ghostwriting is more than finding a freelance writer to write your project. More knowledge is necessary for your hiring process to yield quality work that would satisfy any literary agent. With that in mind, here's what most clients want (and should know) from our perspective and with over a decade of experience working with writers and aspiring authors:
Who Are Ghostwriters?
Ghostwriters write books, website content, press releases, white papers, blog posts, SEO articles, and many other written works for clients who are too busy to do their own writing.
Whether you're a business owner or a self-publishing author, having your own book written can prove too difficult and last too long.
In that case, hiring ghostwriters makes sense. Ghostwriters write business books, financial, self help, lifestyle, fiction, and many other types of books that become their client's intellectual property.
The discretion behind ghostwriting entails that a writer never speaks publicly about their past clients unless their contract specifies otherwise.
How to Find a Great Ghostwriter When There Are So Many of Them?
If you're on a mission to hire ghostwriters, you must feel overwhelmed by so many fiction and nonfiction creators out there. Instead of asking yourself, "Who is the best one?" try to discover which writer is the best for YOU. Look for a ghostwriter who:
-
Can use your unique voice so that your story reflects you as an author, or for your business voice to shine through.
-
Has excellent writing and self-editing skills so that your content is in its best possible shape before editing.
-
Has the right skills for the content that you wish to publish.
Short stories, ebook writing, and blog posts may share a similar form, but a writer's niche/industry specialty and background ensure that your book ranks well with other competitive (most popular) titles in its category.
Where Can I Find a Ghostwriter?
You can easily hire a writer through our Platform, or you can use other means to find a professional for your story. Some aspiring authors use job boards, while others contact writers through agencies.
Exclusive freelance ghostwriters sometimes only operate from their personal websites, in which case you need to contact them directly.
What Do All the Best Ghostwriters Have in Common?
Every ghostwriter is unique. Each writing expert has their unique writing process, voice, style, and research routines.
However, the core of the trade is in the following steps:
1: Getting to know the client. Professional writers only take up jobs when they have a good understanding of their future clients, their needs, and their expectations.
2: Agreeing on the terms of the job and signing the contract. Over a dozen different terms, requirements, payment methods, and other options apply for freelance writing jobs. Your seasoned professional will ensure to have all the nuances of your future project fleshed out before taking over.
3: Writing the first draft. No matter the writing form, a ghostwriter should always send the first draft of their work for you to review. Upon reviewing the written content, you can decide whether to move forward or revise and improve what's been previously written.
4: Revising and polishing their writing. A professional always gives their client at least one free revision to make sure that the content meets their needs and requirements. This applies both to fiction and nonfiction writing.
5: Completing the project. After the revisions are made, and the content has been fully written, writers and clients can agree that the project is finished. From there on, you can say your farewells, or proceed working together again if the collaboration proved fruitful.
