Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_00: Hey my friend, welcome to The Daily Writer, where we help writers become authors of their own lives.
- 0:07SPEAKER_00: A while back, my business coach and my good friend Honore Corter suggested that I write a book answering all the questions that prospective ghostwriting clients ask me.
- 0:17SPEAKER_00: Well, I thought that was an absolutely fantastic idea, so I got to work putting together an outline and working through the first draft.
- 0:24SPEAKER_00: And after all the various drafts and book production, I am so excited to announce that the book is finally available.
- 0:31SPEAKER_00: It's called The Ghost Powered Author: Save Time, Build Authority, and Amplify Your Voice with the Power of a Ghostwritten Book.
- 0:40SPEAKER_00: And this short book is for business leaders who want to harness the power of a great book, but don't have the time or the desire to write it themselves.
- 0:48SPEAKER_00: Here are a few topics that I cover in this new book.
- 0:52SPEAKER_00: Number one, why hiring a ghostwriter can be the smartest shortcut to a great book.
- 0:57SPEAKER_00: Number two, how to choose the right ghostwriter for your project.
- 1:01SPEAKER_00: Number three, how the process works from first idea to finished manuscript.
- 1:07SPEAKER_00: Number four, how a great book can build authority, influence, and long-term return on investment.
- 1:15SPEAKER_00: Number five, what professional ghostwriting really costs and what drives the investment.
- 1:20SPEAKER_00: Now I talk about a lot of other things in the book as well, but that's really the heartbeat of what the ghost powered author is all about.
- 1:26SPEAKER_00: Again, I wrote this book mainly for business leaders who are considering hiring a ghostwriter.
- 1:31SPEAKER_00: However, even if that's not you, this book can help you understand ghostwriting from several angles.
- 1:38SPEAKER_00: So let me explain.
- 1:39SPEAKER_00: If you are an editor, a proofreader, designer, agent, or you're connected to the book world, this book will help you understand professional ghostwriting on a much deeper level.
- 1:50SPEAKER_00: And you can also share the book with people in your circle who are looking for a great ghostwriter.
- 1:55SPEAKER_00: And you can also earn a healthy referral fee from me in the process if you connect me with somebody who signs with me as a client.
- 2:03SPEAKER_00: Now, what if you're a publisher or you provide author services?
- 2:07SPEAKER_00: Well, if that's you, you can learn how ghostwriters can work within various publishing solutions.
- 2:12SPEAKER_00: In fact, I have a whole chapter on that, chapter eight, on choosing the right publishing strategy.
- 2:17SPEAKER_00: Now, if you're working on your own book and you don't need a ghostwriter, you can use my five-step power process that I talk about in the book for creating your own great nonfiction book.
- 2:28SPEAKER_00: In fact, I've got a whole chapter on that, which is called the Power Process, a proven ghostwriting framework.
- 2:35SPEAKER_00: Now, what if you want to build a business as a ghostwriter?
- 2:38SPEAKER_00: Well, if that's the case, you'll come away from this book with a much greater understanding of how professional ghostwriters approach their work and the high standards that you have to meet for your craft and also just being a true professional.
- 2:50SPEAKER_00: I've got a whole chapter on that, which is called How to Choose the Right Ghostwriter.
- 2:55SPEAKER_00: Now, that's written to my prospective clients, of course, but this will give you kind of a filter to know if this is something that you really want to pursue.
- 3:03SPEAKER_00: In other words, I talk about having high standards in that chapter.
- 3:07SPEAKER_00: Now, if you're just curious about ghostwriting in general, maybe you're not in the book world or you're not working on your own book or you don't want to be a ghostwriter, but you're just curious.
- 3:15SPEAKER_00: When you read the ghost powered author, you will gain a deeper appreciation for this really unique and fun world that I live in, as well as many other ghostwriter friends do.
- 3:24SPEAKER_00: And you'll get your questions answered.
- 3:26SPEAKER_00: And who knows, you may find that you want to dive into this for yourself.
- 3:30SPEAKER_00: I've got a whole chapter on common questions and honest answers in the book that deals with a lot of questions that people have about ghostwriting.
- 3:37SPEAKER_00: Now, what if you're not actively in the writing world yourself, but you know somebody who has a great book idea and they need a writer?
- 3:45SPEAKER_00: Well, if that's the case, you can pass this book along to them.
- 3:48SPEAKER_00: And again, as I mentioned, I do pay out referral fees for people who connect me with clients who sign with me.
- 3:53SPEAKER_00: So that can definitely put some money in your pocket.
- 3:56SPEAKER_00: And of course, most of all, if you want to write a book but you don't have the time or the desire to do it yourself, this is the only guide you will ever need on how professional ghostwriting works and how a great book can build your business, authority, and legacy.
- 4:11SPEAKER_00: And of course, I have a whole chapter on that, which is chapter three in the book.
- 4:15SPEAKER_00: In that chapter, I talk about the business case for authorship.
- 4:19SPEAKER_00: So no matter which of the above categories you relate to, the ghost-powered author can benefit your writing, your business, and of course, your bank account.
- 4:27SPEAKER_00: Now, the cool thing is that I am excited to offer you a free digital copy of this book when you go to the link in the show notes.
