This document outlines 7 key things to look for when hiring a business ghostwriter: 1) Compatibility between you and the ghostwriter is important since writing a book takes months. 2) Reliability is important since a ghostwriter needs to keep the book on track and work within your schedule. 3) A ghostwriter should have business expertise to add value and depth. 4) A good ghostwriter can take complexity and turn it into plain English for wider audiences by asking questions. 5) Structure is important for developing a coherent argument and theme. 6) A ghostwriter must discover your authentic voice without their own creative ego. 7) Trust takes time to develop fully but a ghostwriter should provide writing samples.
