Risk: A Road Worth Traveling – collaboration with Craig Huntington and Mark Graham Communications
There is a direct correlation between the ghostwriting process and the self-publication process. Some people will tell you that both are easy. You have an idea for a book – a novel, biography, business book, or self-book, for instance – and you bring some one on board that is advertising themselves as a top flight writer. Here is your first and perhaps most formidable obstacle. How can tell this person is top flight? How can you tell if he or she has, first, the credentials to write your book, and, second, the interpersonal skills to make the collaboration work? You do your due diligence. You trust your instincts. You make sure you know what you’re getting into and how easy it is to extract yourself if it goes south. Your book is close to your heart. Don’t let your heart get in the way of choosing someone who shares your passion, but also understands the process and possesses the requisite skills; there are not a lot of people like that.
When you are looking for help in Writing a Novel, there are many questions to consider. Finding exactly the right ghostwriter or professional editor is like choosing the right tree for exactly the right spot in your yard. It’s a critical decision. Before you truly commit to your book, the more you have finalized the plot of your story, the further down the road you will be. The better developed your cast of characters, the more memorable they will be. The more committed you are to the voice, tone, and style you decide on, the more you’ll be able to dive in head first without second guessing yourself.
