The 7 most critical factors to consider before hiring a ghostwriter

// thread time //
1/7 Does the ghostwriter have what you want?

For example, have they written darn good books you envy?

If hiring a ghost tweeter, does their stuff get crazy engagement?

You get what you pay for, so pay for what you want.
2/7 Does the ghostwriter make up for NDAs?

Many pros have confidentiality3. But were any of their clients SO happy with the book that they broke confidentiality to praise their writer to the world?

At least look for writing students who can confirm the ghost knows their stuff.
