Complete an Editing Checklist

If you’ve got an idea for a book, but you don’t have the time or energy to write one, then a professional ghostwriter is the answer for you. Here’s an editing checklist of services that can be provided for you when you are hiring a ghostwriter.

  • Flow: A professional ghostwriter will interview you and turn your words into copy that reads easily. The words you say will be turned into a smooth, coherent story on the page.

  • Content: When you work with a good ghostwriter, she will make sure all of the necessary information is included in your book.

  • Research: An experienced ghostwriter knows how to find information about the topic of your book. She can comb the Internet or research other books to provide a rich background for your material.

  • Accuracy: The best ghostwriters check every fact and figure to make sure they are accurate.

  • Style: One of the services a ghostwriter can provide is ensuring that your book follows a consistent style throughout all of the pages.

  • Grammar and punctuation: Don’t worry about trying to remember whether you should write “it’s” or “its,” or if you can’t remember whether the correct word to use is “stationery” or “stationary.” A good ghostwriter will put together your book so it’s grammatically correct.

  • Graphs and charts: An experienced ghostwriter can suggest graphs and charts to use with your material to better explain your topic to your readers. She can also create those charts and work with a designer so they will be easily understandable.

A professional ghostwriter is able to take care of every important detail on your editing checklist, from research to grammar and punctuation.
