Colnelkurts, that sounds like a very dramatic story.

The Society of Authors has a register of professional writers who are members and who do ghost writing, and they also have information on ghostwriting agreements between you and the writer:

You don't have to join to find a professional (in fact you can't join unless you are a professional).

Try "search for a writer" here:

http://www.societyofauthors.org/WritersAZ

I'm not sure if there's anyone on the Cloud who does ghosting - it's quite an art, and slightly tangential to the skills that people need to write their own stories, if you see what I mean. Although you could get in touch with Writer's Workshop, the Cloud's parent company, as I think some of their editors do ghosting and similar things.

And whoever you end up wanting to work with, you can get the Society's guide to ghosting and collaborative agreements here:

http://www.societyofauthors.org/guides-and-articles


It's very important to set up an agreement which everyone's happy with and which works to industry norms, or there can be awful trouble further down the line, whether the book's a howling success or... not quite so howling.

You can google "ghostwriting companies" or "ghostwriting help".

You can place your order at http://guru.com or http://odesk.com or some other site where it can be posted for free. You can also go for http://criaglist.com

My boy friend got two books ghost written by http://ektakkalra.com . They specialize in writing books and provide 100% original work. The best thing is that you can pay them in instalments.

Another Indian company that can be of help is http://dissertation-writing-services.com . They have helped my friend in writing his ebook as a course requirement. They are legit.

One more method can be that you write it yourself and get it edited by some professional editing company. This way you will be sure that each and every important point is included in your final version, not to mention, lesser need for revisions. The best thing is that you will save a lot of money by getting just your work edited and not actually written. It also gives a lot of self confidence and thorough knowledge of what is written in your book. This can be of help if someone asks you about your book content.

I would recommend that you opt for a place where instalment system works. Paying a big amount in one go might not be a good idea. I would also recommend that if you really want to hire then go for someone who is a good writer as well as very creative. It is always good to present things in a creative style which results in increased readability.

If you like my ideas and think that I am competent to work on your project then let me tell you that I didn't work for my boyfriend so how can I work for you!
I am really busy with my office work! Anyways, hope this information helps you!
