Ghostwriting

Articles and books enhance your reputation as an expert and draw more business to your company. You can enjoy the prestige of publication even if you lack the time or talent to write successfully. Let ghostwriter Pauline Bartel of Bartel Communications do all the work for you.

What is a ghostwriter?

A ghostwriter or ghost is a professional writer who works behind the scenes for you, researching your subject, conducting interviews, then writing articles and books in your own voice. A ghost can even market the material under your name.

How does a ghostwriter work?

Some clients prefer to work closely with the ghost during all phases of a project; other clients prefer to let the ghost handle all of the details of the project. Typical phases include:

  • Researching and interviewing. Research can involve gathering information from the client’s personal archives, from libraries and on the Internet. Interviews can be conducted in person, over the telephone or via e-mail.
  • Creating the outline. The ghost prepares an outline of the project that is approved by the client before the first draft is prepared.
  • Writing the first draft. Based on the outline approved by the client, the ghost writes the first draft. The client has the opportunity to make additions, deletions, corrections and suggestions.
  • Editing conference. After the client has reviewed the first draft, an editing conference is scheduled either in person or over the telephone to discuss the draft.
  • Writing the final draft. The ghost incorporates the changes discussed in the editing conference and prepares the finished manuscript. The client receives a final draft in order to make final corrections.
  • Marketing the material. The client receives a final manuscript, conforming to professional manuscript standards, that can be submitted to the marketplace.

How much time is required for a ghosted project?

The time required to complete a project depends on several factors, including the length of the work, the amount of research required and the availability of source material. Generally, two months are required to research, write and edit a 1,000-word article manuscript. Generally, nine months are required to research, write, and edit a 200-page book.

Your skills as a writer and editor have been invaluable to my success as a published author. You have made the process of going from some scribbled thoughts to a finished manuscript not only manageable but enjoyable, too. I am always amazed at your ability to take my thoughts and ideas and turn them into an interesting read. I often feel guilty for receiving all the credit for your truly great work. And the proof is in the sales of my books, which continue to soar, and my publisher looking for additional editions and new books, as a result of your working with me. I feel very grateful to have been introduced to you.

Pauline stepped in as a ghostwriter when I most needed her on a deadline driven 1st edition book that needed a strong writer but also a sensitive one due to the circumstances. She was always professional and delivered a book that has since gone into revision due to its initial success. The project would not have happened without her.
