Ghostwriting refers to any write-up officially attributed to another person or a separate entity other than the original writer. While a ghostwriter may be paid for the work done, he would receive no credit for the work done. Ghostwriting is a common practice, though it is not so publicized. This is because it has its cons and pros and is viewed as unethical by some people. On the other hand, a ghostwriting proposal is a document designed to persuade a client or company to hire a ghostwriter to write quality work credited to the client or company that hires him. The ghostwriter is hired as a professional freelance writer to produce high-quality literary, journalistic works or speeches officially credited to another person as the author.  When tendering ghostwriting proposals, it is essential to remember that one is competing against several others vying to be ghostwriters for that particular company. One must therefore strive to possess specific exceptional writing skills that would set you apart from others. Your proposal must also show that you can write within a particular period and under the agreement that you would not receive credit for the work done. The discretion to award a contract regarding the ghostwriting proposals tendered lies with the company or client. The ghostwriter has the responsibility of convincing them that he can do the job if given the opportunity. While several people have shunned ghostwriting, several others have embraced it for several reasons. Individuals who hire ghostwriters view it as the only source of professional, well-written write-ups or other quality content. Their reason for hiring a ghostwriter usually dwells on the fact that they need someone who can better tell their life’s story, keep up with audience demands or even write short-term content that they are too busy to write. However, before settling for a particular ghostwriting proposal, the client must be convinced that such a ghostwriter would deliver the work done as at when due, understand that they receive no credit for the written work, maintain a level of confidentiality and make any corrections they deem fit to the work. Taking a job as a ghostwriter has its perks and benefits. Coupled with the fact that you get to have fun at what you love doing, ghostwriting is quite versatile and provides the chance to work with exciting clients, who in turn provide interesting subject matter. Ghostwriting also provides you with a guaranteed payment option and relieves you of the stress of doing personal marketing to promote the book or write-up.  Finally, submitting a ghostwriting proposal requires that you be able to work under pressure, write good English devoid of grammatical and typographical errors, and manage your writing network properly.
