Should I Hire a Ghostwriter?

The short answer is: “Yes!” I admit I am biased. Let’s dig a little deeper into this question to determine if now is the time for you and I to work together. 1. The answer is yes if your desire to write a book has gone from a vague dream to a specific goal with a set timeframe. You know what you want to say and you are determined to finish and publish your book THIS YEAR. You’ve made your decision; the rest is just details. In other words, you’re already writing your book or

The Difference Between a Boutique Ghostwriting Experience and an Express Ghostwriting Service

If you've ever sat down at your computer, opened up good ole Microsoft Word, and began working on your book, you know it's tough to keep your enthusiasm level high and finish what you've started. The first paragraph pours out of you. The fiftieth? Not so much. That's why busy professionals and business owners work with ghostwriters like myself. A ghostwriter gets it done. In my case, I've written dozens of books, so the process doesn't scare me at all. I relish it. As I've me

I’m Scared to Hire a Contractor…And I Bet You Are, Too

Here’s the deal: my family has owned our home here in Florida for over two years now, and we are really getting settled in. We painted the exterior, we’ve purchased mulch, we’ve power washed the driveway. The place looks great! But, being human, I want more. Our house happens to be located next to an empty lot—that we own. Yes, it is amazing. As of right now, we aren’t using the space at all, other than keeping it nicely mowed so all the neighbor kids can play on it. It’s jus

The Power of the Triangle

Something cool happened to me this year. I discovered Brooke Castillo, a powerhouse coach and entrepreneur based in Dallas. Brooke is a wonderful teacher who does a weekly podcast, now consisting of more than 225 episodes. She discusses all the things that can hold us back in life—anxiety, limiting beliefs, drama, a victim mentality—and all the things that can power us forward in huge, amazing ways—planning, believing in impossible things, setting goals, gratitude and uncondi

The Problem and the Solution

You know you have a book in you. You dream of creating a book that will persuade people--that will help them in concrete ways by communicating the mindset, techniques and specific approaches that have taken you so far in your field. You want to save people from the mistakes you made. A book can do this. A good book can also open doors in your own business--doors to new clients, to publicity and speaking opportunities. A book is a powerful thing to offer up to the world and to

Why Haven’t You Written Your Book?

You’ve been saying it for years: “I need to write a book.” But something is stopping you, and it’s probably the fear that it’ll just take too much time. Good news: I’m here to help! It’s true, writing a book takes some time—hours you’d rather spend with your family, time you need to devote to working or building your business. Nevertheless, if a project or goal is important to you, you’ll make time for it. And your book is important. That’s why the idea keeps tickling you bra

Ask Your Ghostwriter if She’s Ever Tended Bar

When you’re trying to figure out which ghostwriter to hire, you’ll probably look for someone with a lot of energy and enthusiasm for your subject. You’ll want to know whether she’s been writing for a long time. You need to know she’s a pro at interviewing and topic organization, and you should find out if she has a passion for books and genuine curiosity about your industry. But to make the experience particularly enjoyable, you should be vetting for personality as well. Here

Ask Your Ghostwriter Whose Writing Style She Admires

If you’re hiring a ghostwriter to help you write your book, a big part of her job is conveying your message in YOUR voice. The best books are often conversational, which simply means that when you’re reading them, it feels like the author is talking right to you. Reading someone’s book is the next best thing to sitting next to them at a party. So…if you hire a ghostwriter to write your book, it should be written in the style you prefer to best capture your unique voice and wa

What to Expect When You Hire an Executive Ghostwriter

If you've never worked with a ghostwriter before, you likely have several questions about how the process works. How long does it take? Who owns the rights to the book once it's completed? Since I enjoy ghostwriting very much, I thought I'd take a few moments to set your mind at ease and explain what to expect when you hire me to complete your book project. Read on! 1. Completing a 150-200 page book can take as little as 10 weeks. When a professional hires me to write their b

6 Signs You Need a Ghostwriter

You keep thinking about things you’d like to tell others in your industry, but you never quite have the time to write that blog post, that article, or that speech. You’re even starting to forget what you’ve been wanting to say. You’ve grown so much in your career and you’re a game-changer in your field. You know it’s time to share some insights about your mindset, your approach, and your tactics. You worry that the valuable information in your head will be lost if you don’t f

The Best Ghostwriter/Client Relationships Thrive When…

I was recently asked by a potential client to think about how the experience of working together could be designed to exceed both our expectations. Great question! As a Florida-based executive ghostwriter, I gave this some deep thought today and came up with some key factors. The best client/writer relationships need: 1. Clear project goals. Whether it is a whole book, a white paper, an article, or a blog, it is essential for a writer to understand a client’s hopes and dreams

There's No App for That: Why You Should Hire a Ghostwriter Today

Let’s start with two truths: Everyone has a book in them. Not everyone has what it takes to actually write it. Do you agree with the first premise? I really do. It’s pretty much impossible to live on this planet for a few decades and not accumulate specific wisdom or stories you’d like to share with others. As we all grow more and more specialized in our fields of work, or excel in serving our communities or our families, we piece together a million tips, tricks, insights and

On the stories we tell

Lately, I've been doing a lot of thinking about the stories we tell ourselves. Stories are perhaps the most powerful force on Earth, and the stories we loop in our minds shape everything we do, every day. Some stories are very helpful. For example, one story I like to tell myself is I'm a good mother. So, even when I really, really don't want to, I find a way to be patient with my daughter. I plan ahead to make sure she has what she needs. I grocery shop regularly, even thoug
