Ghostwriting – Helping Thought Leaders-Dropping Bombs Ep 217-Peter Winick

I don’t want anyone to write my book. Like they can rewrite it. They can edit it.

Well, the term…

I’m gonna write it because dude I would hate to say I wrote this book when I did not.

Well, so two things: everybody’s different and that term, ghostwriter is a generic term. So there’s ghostwriters on one end of the continuum that they’ve written everything in your word your name is on their words. Then, there are others that are sparring partners with you and say, “Help. Hey, let’s let’s play with this. Let’s work with me here.” And then there’s stuff in the middle where you’re doing some of the heavy lifting on the writing but they’re doing more of the editorial. So it really is about finding the right fit for you and your needs in the amount of time that you’ve got and all that.

There are…I mean anything from…There are people using systems like you can just leave them an audio file, you know, every other day for 50 days and they’ll stitch together a book. There are others that will sit down with you do the strategies. It’s matchmaking like anything else. So it’s a pretty intimate sort of connection.
