Ghostwriters for Hire

September 3, 2019

So what exactly do you find when you type those words into a search engine such as Google or Yahoo or Bing or Ask Jeeves (is that one still around?) 

I posit that what you find depends on what you're looking for, but the chances are pretty good that it's in there somewhere.

Because scroll. 

Meaning, whatever you're looking for in terms of a ghostwriter for hire, you will find on Google. (let's drop the pretense of the other search engines and just admit Google won, no offense to the others). In other words, whatever you're looking for will be there if you scroll far enough. 

So what is everyone looking for when they type in ghostwriter for hire?

Some may be hoping to, wait for it...actually hire a ghostwriter to write their book or screenplay, but others may just want to get a little help with their idea. 

But others may want to get hired as a ghostwriter. Or just find out how much it costs. Or maybe the searcher is actually looking for that Nic Cage movie about a ghost on a motorcycle, but that annoying spell-check-word-finisher thingie took over and completed the search term before the searcher realized it and then they clicked and wound up in the wrong place. Auto-complete, it's called, and boy can that be irritating sometimes. 

By the way, if you'd like to stop that sort of thing, click here. (That link goes to the #1 search result for "why does google finish my sentences?") 

And don't get me started on AI. If you ever see a website that promises to write your book for $399, run away fast. Or $499 or $599 or any amount, for that matter. If they know absolutely nothing about you or your book, how can they possibly know how much it will cost?

Those companies likely just feed your idea into a computer so it can spit out a bunch or words.

Plus, those numbers are just teasers to get you to click, anyway. I can guarantee they'll insist you pay for the Trucoat!  (Fargo reference)

Writing a book is hard. Writing a good one is even harder, and requires human skills.

NO AI PROGRAM CAN WRITE A GREAT BOOK OR SCREENPLAY. So don't fall for that scam.

If you want to use AI, save it for the cover art. It's good with images. Or use it for inspiration, or organization, or whatever helps you. Just remember it's a tool that requires a human being to operate.

But I digress.

My original point was going to be that while it's always best to know what you're looking for before you start the search, that's not always going to be the case. Sometimes you're not sure where you wanna go, but you're in the car and you have a full tank of gas and it's a beautiful day and so why not explore a bit? I know, I know. Gas prices, right? Can't help with that one.

But if you arrived here because you have a story to tell but aren't quite sure how to tell it, whether it's a novel or a screenplay or even your life story, just know that that's perfectly normal. Many people who come to us aren't always sure what they need. That's why they Googled us in the first place.

We can help you start, help you finish, or just give you advice on the best course of action.

Maybe you need some help finding your story. Maybe you haven't decided whether it should be a novel or a screenplay. Or both. We can be your sounding board. Maybe you just need to talk about it and then do it all yourself. No problem.

Consultations are always free.

Which is why, if you've got a story to tell but you aren't sure how to tell it, it's a good idea to email The Best Ghostwriters, or call us at 1-323-539-7635. 

Even if you don't know exactly where you wanna go, it's nice to go out for a scroll.
