Book Coach or Ghostwriter?
Which one makes the most sense? A quick post on one of the factors to consider.
A new client and I recently finished conceptualizing her forthcoming book. She was ecstatic and decided to hire me to go along for the ride. Initially, she wasn't sure about my forthcoming role in the project. Should I ghostwrite it or serve as her book coach?
Diving in
It sparked an interesting discussion. Parts of her background are so personal that I couldn't imagine anyone writing it for her, including me. At the same time, her other commitments and the daunting nature of the blank page meant that she couldn't just start writing. (As an aside, no non-fiction author should even think about starting the manuscript in earnest without first doing loads of intense research. Ever.)
