What is Ghostwriting?

“Ghostwriting” is a term used in the publishing industry to describe when an author needs the professional help of a skilled writer to assimilate the information they have researched and developed, and help put that information into a book. If you think that hiring a ghostwriter to help write your book is “cheating”, please know that simply is not true.
Ghostwriting is considered the highest level of editing. The material provided to a ghostwriter is usually in raw form, such as notes or an outline. Some ghostwriters may even require interview sessions with the author so they may incorporate the information correctly, and make sure the personality of the author is in the book.
A good deal of the ghostwriting we do is for pastors and national leaders who have the talent to research an inspired message, but not the time to write it as a book. That pastor or leader clearly has an awesome, powerful message, but if he/she does not have the gift of writing, does that mean the book idea should perish?
Absolutely not!
That is why we offer writers who have a gift of writing to take the well-researched, spoken message and convert it into a powerful, written message.
Here at CSN Books and Legacy Line publishing we can take compiled material and assign a ghostwriter to the project to bring that message into bookstore quality writing. We all cannot be great preachers or singers or writers or builders. If we were, we would not need others in our lives. ghostwriting is simply a tool to bring your message to market.
Ghostwriting is the most expensive method of writing a book, and it provides the highest quality of writing needed to be successful in this competitive market. Authors who use ghostwriters usually do not have the time needed to properly write a book, so for them, the extra money is well spent.
