Tips for working with and hiring Ghostwriters

Define your content needs

Understand and articulate your content needs. Whether it's an eBook, blog post, or a company report, provide clear and specific details about the project to the ghostwriter.

Check their writing style

Review the ghostwriter's previous works to understand their writing style and see if it aligns with your brand voice. Look for their ability to write in different tones and styles.

Confidentiality is crucial

As ghostwriters will have access to sensitive information, ensure they are comfortable signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). This will protect your information and ideas.

I used to waste hours trying to find talent. Switching to Contra was 10x on my time, energy and money as an Entrepeneur and Creator. Lauren was a perfect fit from day one, and I couldn’t have found someone of this calibor without Contra.
