FAQs - Short
What is ghostwriting?

How does ghostwriting work?
You talk, we write. Whatever works. You may have written material that needs to be improved, or maybe the story is all in your head. Wherever it is, whatever shape it's in, we'll write your story as you've imagined it.
What does ghostwriting cost?
A five minute wedding speech will cost a lot less than a novel or screenplay. But whatever you need, our prices are reasonable and payment plans are available. Tell us what you need and we'll give you a free estimate.
How do I hire a ghostwriter?
Make calls, send emails, contact ghostwriters. Shop around. Compare. Ask for samples. Talk to more than one and see how you connect. Your book is your baby, so make sure you trust the sitter.

FAQs - Long (but fun)
Everything you always wanted to know about ghostwriting*
*but were afraid to ask
Actually, you’re probably not afraid to ask. Why would you be? It’s not an embarrassing subject or anything. You’re probably just here because maybe you’ve been thinking about writing a book but don’t know how to get started. Or maybe you’ve started, but you haven’t been able to finish. Or maybe you’ve finished, but the book or screenplay isn’t exactly what you wanted. Or maybe you want to write a book but it just sounds too daunting, and so you thought maybe you’d hire a ghostwriter.Whatever the reason, you’ve come to the right place if you're thinking about hiring a ghostwriter.What are the basics of ghostwriting?
The History of Ghostwriting:
I know, I know. You don’t need a history lesson. Well, maybe you do, but perhaps you’re impatient to get answers more relevant to your immediate circumstance.If that’s the case, here’s a word of advice: Scroll.You know how to scroll, don’t you? Just put your fingers together and go.**parody of one of the most famous ghostwritten lines in history, from the classic film “To Have and Have Not,” starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, seen here.Speaking of our subject, that famous line wasn’t in Hemingway’s novel on which the film was based, nor was it written by the screenwriters Jules Furthman or William Faulkner (yes, that William Faulkner).It was written specifically for Lauren Bacall’s screen test, which got her the part, which was then added to the screenplay, which then became one of the most iconic scenes in film history.All because of that one great line.Which was ghostwritten by the director, Howard Hawkes. Although when film directors ghostwrite for their screenwriters, it’s called script doctoring, which you might say, in the film business, is a necessary evil. Sometimes it goes smoothly and sometimes it can be a circuitous process. As the great novelist Phillip Roth once wrote, “The road to hell is paved with works-in-progress.”But, as in all art, there are no rules and exceptions to all of them.In other words, whatever works, works.As one of the greatest screenwriters who ever lived, William Goldman, who wrote The Princess Bride, Marathon Man, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and *allegedly Good Will Hunting, once said, “Nobody knows anything.”Whatever works, works.Goldman was also one of Hollywood’s most sought after script doctors. Or when he wasn’t credited, a great ghostwriter.The point of this little history lesson is that ghostwriting is everywhere. Howard Hawkes was not creditedas the screenwriter of that classic Bogey and Bacall film, but he added something brilliant to the script.That’s the nature of art. It evolves. It emerges. And it’s all borrowed, stolen, or improved as it becomes whatever it’s meant to be.As Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes, “There’s nothing new under the sun.”But that line was probably ghostwritten.Speaking of which, a few famous ghostwritten works:The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas (and Auguste Maquet)Profiles in Courage by John F. Kennedy (and Ted Sorenson)The Autobiography of General Ulysses S Grant by himself (and Mark Twain)Getting’ Jiggy with It by Will Smith (and Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones)Requiem Mass by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (and Franz Xaver Sussmayr)That’s all well and good, but…
What is ghostwriting?
Basically, ghostwriting is storytelling, credited to someone else. But that’s just scratching the surface in terms of a definition.Like defining a novel as “a story.” There’s much more to it than that.There are literally millions of novels out there, all unique in their own way, although there are theories that propose all of them are based on six basic narratives, or shapes, as the late, great Kurt Vonnegut lectured here.Or perhaps there are seven plots, as the author Christopher Booker proposed in his famous book, discussed here.Booker, by the way, worked on his tome for 34 years. Perhaps he should have called The Best Ghostwriters for a little help moving things along.Which is another form of ghostwriting: Moving things along. Because just as there are millions of books out there telling millions of stories, every author who needs help needs it in their own specific way, which means there are many forms of ghostwriting.Ghostwriting for some might mean they already have a completed book, but it needs developmental editing, which is basically adding what’s needed and removing what’s not. Art is subjective, of course, so deciding what you need and what you don’t will vary on a case-by-case basis.Which is why, if you need a ghostwriter, make sure you find a good one.As Michelangelo once said, when asked how he sculpted such a beautiful form, replied, “I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.”In other words, he knew what to chip away and what to leave.This is what a good ghostwriter does with existing material, whether it’s written or whether it’s in the mind of another.Everyone has a story; it’s just a matter of setting the angel free.A ghostwriter will set your story free.Sometimes there is no written material, just a client who wants to tell their story, whether it’s a memoir or a novel or an idea for a screenplay. In that case, the ghostwriter interviews the subject until the story emerges. The client tells their story, and the ghostwriter listens, makes notes, and when the story is complete, begins to sculpt it into an angel. (Or a demon, or a cyborg, or whatever the client wants it to be)The job of the ghostwriter is to create the finished product that most resembles what the client imagined it would be.Therefore, a ghostwriter’s job is to make dreams come true.
What about ghostwritten memoirs?
In the case of a memoir, the interview process is key. Because no one knows your story better than you. Of course, your mother always told you that she knew you better than you knew yourself, but that was mainly because you were being disciplined, and they all say it, and your mother’s not writing her memoir, you’re writing yours, so she can just wait until you and your ghostwriter are finished and then you’ll show her because there will be all kinds of things in there she never knew about and won’t she be shocked and…let’s think about whether or not she should read it at all, come to think about it.But I digress.The interview process when ghostwriting a memoir is important because it works wonders for both the client and the ghostwriter.Over many years of ghostwriting, I’ve found the optimal schedule for interviews is something like Monday through Friday, for about an hour each day.What this does for you, the client, is it puts you in what I call “memory mode.” No one should ever try to tell their life story over the course of a weekend because you will leave things out, and your recollections will be too influenced by your mood.Your story is best told over the course of time.I have never had a memoir client who did not, at some point, say something like, “You know what we talked about yesterday? I thought of something else…”That’s memory mode. If you share your life over the course of many days, on a regular schedule, things will come back to you. Because the story is on your mind. Like if you have a big project at work. You may leave it at your office, but it’s still on your mind until it’s finished. You can’t help but think about it. You may even dream about it. It weighs on you until it’s done.What a regular schedule does for me, the ghostwriter, is it helps me get your voice. Over the course of the interviews, I get to know you. How you communicate, how you think, how you tell your story.Because at the end of the process, we want the book to read like you’ve imagined it. We want it to sound like you. Your book, written by you.After all, it’s your story. And nobody needs to know you used a ghostwriter unless you decide to tell them.Speaking of which...A brief word about confidentiality:Some ghostwriting services publicize their clients on their websites. The Best Ghostwriters do not, unless requested to do so by the client. Generally speaking, if you’ve paid for the work, it belongs to you.You own 100% of the finished product. We receive no rights, royalties, or compensation beyond the fee for service. And no one knows you hired a ghostwriter unless you decide to tell them.
How about ghostwriting a novel?
With novels, the interview process is typically the same, only different.Sometimes a client may only have an idea for a book, or even just a genre, such as a mystery or thriller, and may want the ghostwriter to just go and write it.Other times, the client may have a minutely detailed synopsis.Or it may be something in between, like a general story and genre with an ending.Whatever your story, we can help you tell it. Whatever shape it's in, we can carve your angel.The point is, ghostwriting is the art of storytelling, the same as, well, writing. The only difference is whose name is credited.There’s nothing wrong with hiring a ghostwriter if the end result is the story told as you imagined it. Sometimes, it’s even better.Ghostwriting is even addressed in federal law in the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976.Ghostwriting is work-made-for-hire.
Can I hire a ghostwriter for my screenplay?
As stated above, screenplays can sometimes be a little different. A script doctor basically “doctors,” or fixes a screenplay, which can involve anything from punching up dialogue to adding or rewriting scenes. In Hollywood, nearly every screenwriter has seen their work given to another writer to improve the finished product. Even Oscar-winning screenwriters will see their script changed by subsequent writers.If you’re an aspiring screenwriter or just a film fan who has a great idea for a movie, you can hire a ghostwriter to pen your script much like you would a novel. Or if you’ve written a screenplay, completed or not, and you want it improved, you can hire a ghostwriter to analyze it, complete it, rewrite it, or otherwise improve it.Give us your idea for a movie and let us go to work.
Who hires a ghostwriter, anyway?
Lots of people. First time authors and experienced writers alike. Sometimes an aspiring author just doesn’t have the skill or know-how. Sometimes a successful author doesn’t have the time or inclination.
Why would a successful writer hire a ghostwriter?
In the case of Robert Ludlum, one of the most successful novelists of all time and the creator of Jason Bourne, he died. But there are still Robert Ludlum novels coming out, as well as films based on his characters.Or in the case of James Patterson, one of the biggest selling authors in history, there’s just not enough time in the day to write all his books – so he uses ghostwriters who carefully follow his best-selling formula.
Do successful authors also ghostwrite for others?
The prolific horror author H.P. Lovecraft ghostwrote for Harry Houdini.Sinclair Lewis ghostwrote a book on tennis before winning the Nobel Prize for literature.So, yes. Ghostwriters and ghostwriting are everywhere. And I’ll bet there are a lot of examples we don’t know about, too!
How much does ghostwriting cost?
Every project is different, so it depends on what you need. If you want The Best Ghostwriters to ghostwrite your massive sci-fi novel, creating new worlds designed to attract the attention of Hollywood, it will cost more than if you need a speech for your cousin Joe-Bob's wedding. Hopefully Joe Bob isn't marrying your cousin Sue-Ann, although that might make an interesting plot point in your memoir.And a short screenplay will likely cost less than your full-length memoir, although either could feature Joe-Bob and Sue-Ann.The cost depends on what you need. But we take no profit beyond the fee for service - 100% of the royalties belong to you.
How long does ghostwriting take?
Some projects might take a week, some might take several months. Just like the cost, it will depend on what you need.
Should I hire a ghostwriting company?
Beware of large ghostwriting factories, because they may subcontract your project to inferior writers and take the lion’s share of the fee for themselves, leaving little to pay the actual ghostwriter. Why would you want most of your money to go a middleman when you could hire a better writer on your own?
Should I use a ghostwriting referral service site?
In a word, no. Well, you can try them, I suppose. But they don't seem to vet their "pros" very well. If you don't believe me, sign up as a "pro."Congratulations. You're now a ghostwriter. Because they take anyone who signs up. But you were looking to hire a ghostwriter, weren't you?
Should I self-publish?
There's an entire blog post about self-publishing versus traditional publishing here.But I will say it boils down to time and money. If you need to get your book out there right away, self-publishing allows you to do that. Traditional publishing typically takes longer. Sometimes much longer.As for money, you will almost always sell more books with a traditional publisher, but you will make more per book sold if you self-publish.Sell fewer books and receive a larger percentage of sales, or sell more books and receive less per book sold.With self-publishing, you are in charge of promoting and publicizing your book. Which is great if you're a marketing whiz with thousands of followers on social media. Not so easy if you're not.Since a traditional publisher assumes all upfront costs of publication and only makes money if your book sells, they will promote and place your book where it will recoup their costs and hopefully earn them a nice profit on their investment.You can hire a company to set up your book for self-publishing, or do it yourself through Amazon and other companies.There are a lot of things to consider, but there's one thing to think about above all others:Until your manuscript is completed, you don't have to decide. Which is why I would avoid those sales pitches from big companies to both ghostwrite your book and publish it.Until you have a completed manuscript, there's nothing to publish, anyway. So don't let anyone talk you into paying for something that may not happen.Once it's finished, you might change your mind about self-publishing and decide to pitch your book to literary agents or traditional publishers, in which case whatever you already paid to the self-publishing company would be lost. Keep your options open and don't let anyone pressure you into signing a contract to publish your book before it's complete.Lastly, ghostwriting is art. Publishing is commerce. Ghostwriting is heart. Publishing is business.Maybe you'll find one company that can do both well, but I doubt it. Most of the time those companies that offer to "do it all" will charge you for services you don't really need.One quick example: registering your copyright online with the U.S. Copyright Office is currently $45 and easy to do yourself. I've seen companies add hundreds of dollars to a "package" of services for that registration. But even if they separate it out and charge you a hundred dollars, that's still more than a 200% markup.Trust me on this:Always hire an individual to ghostwrite your book.Then decide how to release your baby into the world.
What else should I know about ghostwriting?
Keep in mind that writing well isn't easy. If it was, everybody would be a best-selling author or award-winning screenwriter.Good writing takes time and skill. It's an art form, like painting or filmmaking or sculpting. There are many intangibles. And with ghostwriting, it's important to find someone who fits not only with your material, but with you. You can find an awful lot of ghostwriters for hire, but you need to find the best ghostwriter for your project.You can't pick your family, but you can pick your friends. Pick your ghostwriter like you would pick a friend, because they will be a big part of your life for the duration of your project.
You get what you pay for...to a point.
If you hire a plumber for $15, chances are your money is just going down the drain. Which will still be clogged. Because you hired an inferior plumber. On the other hand, is there really all that much difference between a plumber who charges $185 to clear your drain and one who charges $195? Maybe not. But there could be. The $185 plumber might be a lot better at his job than the $195 plumber, or vice-versa.That's why it's so important to shop around, speak to several ghostwriters, and decide who seems like the best fit. Your book is your baby, so make sure you trust the sitter. Or the plumber. Just don't expect your plumber to babysit.Bottom line: A good ghostwriter doesn’t have to break the bank, but if the fee sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Nobody, and I mean nobody, can write a full length manuscript of any quality for a few hundred dollars. It's too much work and takes too much time. And while AI might be able to spit out a hefty word count in seconds, it's not going to be anything worth reading because there will have been no human emotion and experience behind the words.This is an amendment to the advice I gave earlier: Always hire a human individual to ghostwrite your book or screenplay.Which is what we are: Human beings who make a living helping people like you tell their stories.The Best Ghostwriters are reasonably priced for good ghostwriters, we accept payments to help make things affordable, and best of all, we are all independent ghostwriters.Which means you work directly with your ghostwriter.

AI News You Can Use
(and a few opinions)
We Read the AI News So You Don't Have To This Week in AI (and what it means for your story)
This week: a sorority girl from a non-existent sorority racked up a million views, machines started sneaking into your meetings, and a neurosurgeon casually solved a 22-year-old math problem before rounds. Also, OpenAI halted the training of its most advanced model due to “varying degrees of misalignment”, a phrase we plan to use at our next family gathering.
A million people watched a girl from a sorority who doesn't exist
A venture capitalist revealed that Janie, a 19-year-old redhead whose University of Alabama sorority recruitment videos garnered nearly a million TikTok views in a single week, was actually an AI. The persona was controlled for about $100 and thirty minutes of actual supervision per day. When the truth came out, the reaction was mostly positive. The ensuing analysis raised the question of the moment: does it matter if a creator is real?
For entertainment, perhaps not. Janie was fun, no one got hurt, and sorority recruitment videos were undeniably artificial even before the advent of AI. But consider what Janie could never do: write a memoir. Not because "her" videos looked bad, but because the value of a memoir lies in a claim that content alone cannot sustain: *this happened, and it happened to me.* Janie has no "self" and nothing will ever really happen to her. Strip away the real-life story, and what remains is content, of which the world now has an infinite supply at $100 a week. But it isn't real.
Your life is a genre AI cannot access. It lacks the credentials; by which we mean: it wasn't there. You were.
Machines want to come to your meetings
Anthropic is testing Project Parka, a feature that listens to your meetings, generates transcripts with speaker names, and assigns follow-up tasks to AI agents. ChatGPT can now read your Apple messages. And a startup is taking pre-orders for an 11-gram wristband that records your conversations throughout the day and turns them into a connected memory.
Let’s set aside the etiquette issues, which are significant. (You’ll never speak freely at lunch again once your colleague’s wristband is taking notes.) Here is what interests us: we rush to record everything, yet recording is not the same as remembering. A transcript of your life would fill millions of pages, yet the essence of each one would be lost because the essence of a memory isn't what was said, but what mattered. No wristband knows which phrase your child will quote at your funeral.Total capture is not a story. A story is what remains after someone with judgment decides what to reveal and what to leave out. Your life doesn't need a better microphone. It needs an editor who loves the material.

A neurosurgeon solved a 22-year-old math problem over the weekend
A neurosurgery resident in Beijing, self-taught in advanced mathematics, used a 16-hour autonomous ChatGPT session to prove the Crouzeix Conjecture, a problem that had baffled experts since 2004. The proof is correct; experts verified it. As one newsletter noted, when a proof can come from anyone with a subscription, verification becomes the most in-demand skill.
Swap mathematics for writing and you have the current state of our industry. Producing text is now free and limitless. Anyone can generate a full-length manuscript by Thursday. And by Thursday we mean any time they want. But true skill lies in two things AI can't provide: having something true to say and being able to stand behind it. The doctor solved a real, long-standing problem, and the machine helped him. But the machine didn't wake up with an interest in mathematics. Empathy remains a human quality, and it is always the primary source of inspiration for a memoir.

What we find most interesting
A public speaking instructor created an AI-based coach for his students with a surprising design choice: writing anything is forbidden. No speeches, outlines, or source notes. The tool does only one thing: ask questions. If a student chooses a topic like "poverty" or "crime," the AI insists, over and over, "What do you mean by X?" until a vague subject transforms into an argument the student truly makes their own.An educator set out to create the ideal writing tool and, on his own, devised an interviewer that refuses to write the text. We relate to this completely. That is what the craft is all about: questions draw out the essence, and the voice that answers must be your own, because you are the one who must defend it. We’re making you the same offer, but with two improvements: our questions are backed by forty years of experience in crafting follow-up inquiries, and once the extraction phase is complete, we’ll help you with the writing. But that stays just between us.Call The Best Ghostwriters at 1-323-539-7635 or send us an email.
We weren’t there when it happened, which is why we’ll ask you absolutely everything.
Top 10 Reasons NOT to Use AI to Write Your Book*
10: No copyright protection - Anyone can steal your work.
9: AI can produce a sad story, but it cannot grieve.
8: AI can produce a love story, but it cannot love.
7. AI can write a (usually lame) joke, but it cannot laugh. (okay you get the idea)
6. AI hallucinates. (Really!)
5. AI makes up "facts" that are not really facts at all. (Also known as lying)
4. AI will not "get" you or your voice, so the work will not sound like you wrote it.
3. AI is trained on previously published work, so you may inadvertently plagiarize someone else.
2. AI is inconsistent writing long-form narratives. By chapter six it may "forget" what happened in chapter one.
And the #1 reason NOT to use AI to write your book:
1. If readers find out they might be mean to you on the internet!
So if you need help with your book or screenplay, call a human being.

What's Wrong with Using AI to Write a Book? AI is fast and cheap, right?
While it's true that AI is (or can be) inexpensive, and can create content quickly, that doesn't mean what it produces is quality work. If you've gotten to the point where you're looking for a ghostwriter, you obviously feel strongly enough about your story that you've decided to take the next step and turn it into a book or screenplay. Even though the chances are you've never written either one before. (Most people haven't). That decision is a big deal. It shows you have real passion for your project. Which is why it's not something to take lightly.
Writing a book or a screenplay, even with help, is a journey. You've probably been thinking about it for a long time. And now that you've finally decided to do it, should you just feed some prompts into an AI program that will spit out something lame in 5 minutes? I don't think so. There's a lot more to it than that.
When I work with a memoir client, for example, they tell me the story of their life. Literally. Over the course of days or weeks or even months. As a ghostwriter, I want to know everything. I ask a lot of questions, and we have real human interaction. Often, it can be a very cathartic process the person sharing their story.
Beyond that, what the process does for my client is to put them in "memory mode." They remember more and more as we go along. I've never had a memoir client that did not say at one point or another, "You know what we talked about yesterday? I remembered something else." In other words, working with a ghostwriter in this way brings everything back. And what the process does for me is that I get to know you and your story.
But more importantly, how you tell your story.
This enables me to write the book in your voice. At the end of the day, it will be your book, written by you. With a little uncredited help from me. That's the essence of a good ghostwriter. And that's what we do at The Best Ghostwriters.
A good book or screenplay takes time. If you speed to your destination, you may get there fast, but you'll probably miss a lot of interesting things along the way. Your story is a journey. So is sharing it. Enjoy the trip.
