SUBJECT: Having Your Ebook Ghostwritten Lesson 27 of 50: Things To Look For

Hi {!firstname_fix},

Where ratings and references will tell you how
easy or difficult a writer may be to work with,
writing samples will give you a more explicit
idea of how well a writer actually writes.
Although ghostwriters are not at liberty to post
or publish work they did for others for a flat
fee, they may be able to show you something they
wrote for their own benefit or something that
they published under their own name. In
occasional cases, ghostwriters are given credit
in the books (or eBooks) that they wrote. Those
books would be good writing samples to look at. 

Require at least one or two writing samples at a
minimum. An experienced ghostwriter should have a
lengthy portfolio, but even a lesser experienced
ghostwriter should be able to show you something
they've written. Even a letter to the editor of a
newspaper or an essay on their personal web site
is better than nothing. You can tell a lot about
writers from their samples. You can usually tell
if they speak conversationally, if they have a
comfortable command of the language you're
looking for, and if they pay attention to detail
(with no errors spelling or punctuation). 

In addition to ratings, references and writing
samples, you may want to also ask that your
ghostwriter be fluent or proficient in a
particular language. You may even request a
native speaker if you like. Do ask, because when
you are evaluating bulleted online information
like job bids, you cannot always tell who speaks
what language fluently. Short bids with line
items that are purely factual are easily done by
native or non-native speakers. The nature of the
online bidding is that short and sweet is better
than long and beautifully written. So don't base
much on the bid. Read the ratings, contact a
reference, review a writing sample, and request a
native speaker. He who speaks a language well and
fluently is more likely to write it well and
fluently. That's what you want for your eBook. 

Although terse ad responses are common, if you do
see any glaring errors in the response to your
ad, like a misspelled word or confusing
explanations, proceed with caution in the
direction of that writer. Give a responder some
leeway in abbreviating or being direct. Beyond
that, glaring errors in can be an indicator that
the responder may not be the best one for your
project. Remember, if you wanted to slap a book
together throwing grammatical caution to the
wind, you could write that yourself.
