How do you know whether you should hire a ghostwriter? This question is easily answered. Do you want to be an author or not? Though you will get the author status with a ghostwritten book, you won’t be an author. Authors are born through the writing process. They grow as a result of the work they do writing, revising, and editing. There are people for whom it makes sense to hire a ghostwriter, people like Elon Musk. There are people whose ideas we should read about, yet who have neither the time nor the interest to learn the writing craft. That is fine. However, let’s not kid ourselves. These people are not authors. Join The Word Leader Facebook Community to learn more about writing, connect with like-minded fellows, and get support in your writing journey.
