Ghostwriters have existed for many years now ever since books were being published. Most skilled and detailed writers would offer their ghostwriting services for novels and memoirs of certain authors who do not want to work too much on their publications. Just to give one an idea, here are some of the services that the ghostwriters would provide.

Now the first thing that one should know about would be what exactly a ghost writer does and what his role is in the publishing scene. Basically, these ghostwriters are hired workers who are paid to do tasks for the author. This is done so that more effort and time can be saved in the part of the author and the publishing process can go faster.

Now first of all, it will be better to take a look at how they would work with novels first because this is actually the easier job. First off, a ghostwriter is hired by an author to screen his work and make sure that every text is proofread. So to sum it all up, they are the who ones will make sure that the final output will be appealing to all the readers out there.

Now other than that, ghostwriters may also be paid sometimes to complete the entire novel. Of course they will be paid more, but they will also have to do more work simply because they have to finish the entire novel. Of course the entire flow and the story will be given by the author but the ghostwriter has to come up with the words and the writing style.

Now when it comes to memoirs on the other hand, a typical ghostwriter will definitely have more work that what a ghostwriter of a novel has. Not only are writers of memoirs tasked to edit and proofread, but they are also tasked to do some research as well. They will be working directly with the author and the author will be giving them the commands.

Now what makes a memoir quite hard to do is that it needs a lot of research from the part of the ghostwriter. The writer is the one who will be conducting the research on behalf of the author and the author will use that research to come up with the outline. This research would include both primary research as well as secondary research.

Ghostwriters for memoirs will also be the ones to clean up the work once the research is done. Now the author would usually just give the writer a draft or sometimes just even an outline for the flow of the book. From there, it will be the ghostwriters who will be creating the style and the wording for the entire text.

Now one would probably be curious as to how much a typical ghost writer will be paid for this kind of gig. Well for starters, ghostwriters will be getting a standard price or salary for their work and also sometimes a percentage of the royalties from book sales. Of course one will also have to expect that his name will not be given credit.
