Many people have a story to tell or have the ability to gather in business writing copy. What they lack is the ability to write in a clear, concise manner within specified perimeters. What they need is a ghostwriter. Perhaps you possess the abilities required to be successful as a ghostwriter. But how do you go about finding opportunities to solicit and accept ghostwriting assignments? Here are a few suggestions to help you locate and secure those assignments so that you can realize your goal of becoming a successful ghostwriter.

  1. One of the first things you have to do with ghostwriting is to develop writing samples that indicate the range of your ghostwriting expertise. As an example, do you see yourself as ghostwriting a biography? Pull together a sample chapter based on your own life. Perhaps you plan on writing copy for web sites? Develop three or four keyword rich articles that will demonstrate your ability to work with keyword optimization. If you see your ghostwriting strengths being more along the lines of fiction writing, prepare a chapter or two that you can present. The point is to position yourself so that you can take on projects that are a natural match for your skill set, which will help increase the chances of a successful collaboration.

  2. Once you have your portfolio established, the time has come to begin looking for work. Trade magazines often have ads from people who are seeking ghostwriters or collaborators for a specific project. The ads themselves may be very detailed or very broad. It is not unusual for persons to state the basic nature of the project and then invite persons to contact them for more information. By all means apply for any and all that interest you. The fact that the ad was not very detailed is not necessarily an indication that there are not some very specific goals for the project. Once you have received the guidelines, do not be afraid to ask clarifying questions. The more you know, the easier it is to determine if you and the owner of the project are a good fit.
