Politicians, teachers, physicians, and people from all walks of life hire ghostwriters. They may be very competent at writing, but don't have the time to research or write a piece. In other cases, they are not competent writers and want to hire you to translate their thoughts into something coherent and interesting. Many books by famous personalities are actually written by ghostwriters for hefty fees. Ghostwriters are also used by trade magazines, professional newsletters, and other publications.
Some people advertise for ghostwriters in writers' publications.
More frequently ghostwriters find their clients through networking. Get the word out that you can and will do ghostwriting. Tell editors, publishers, and colleagues in the field. This page or any part thereof may not be duplicated without express written permission of the copyright owner.
