Hey everyone!

I’ve been looking into book writing services in the USA, and I keep coming across the term ghostwriting. I have a general idea of what it means, but I’d love to hear from people who have actually used a ghostwriter or worked as one.

From what I understand, a ghostwriter writes the book on behalf of someone else, but the author gets full credit. Sounds great for people who have amazing ideas but lack the time or writing skills. But how does the process actually work? Do ghostwriters just take an idea and run with it, or is the author actively involved? Also, how do you ensure the book still sounds like you?

For those who have used ghostwriting services, what was your experience like? Were you happy with the final result? And if you’re a ghostwriter, what’s the biggest challenge in capturing someone else’s voice?

Query: How do you choose the right ghostwriter to ensure your book feels authentic and reflects your vision?
