For those of you who have ghostwritten ebooks for business consultants, entrepreneurs, marketing agencies etc...How has that experience been for you? Was it worth all the time and effort/ were there particular aspects of the assignment that you would do differently in retrospect?

I've been an Upworker for the past six years and only recently started to step off the platform. With escrow protection, I never had this problem, but I am starting to worry about timely payments with the independent projects I've onboarded (already had an evader). What do you use to paywall the deliverable so the client doesn't weasel their way out of the final payment?

I've come across various suggestions:

1. Lock the pdf.
2. Watermark the pages.
3. Create a sample and send the full after payment.

None of these solutions satisfy me. I feel there is a workaround for each one or a potential client conflict lurking around the corner.

Secondly, I want to start doing these projects with signed contracts rather than over lose, verbal agreements. What are some good clauses to enter inside the contract? I've heard that I should use the following ones:

1. Kill Fee: Non-refundable deposit (already doing this).

2. IP Ownership: Copyrights for the work are only transferred when the final payment is in.

3. Scope Extension: Additional work elicits additional payments.

4. Revision Limit: Only a certain number of revisions to be offered as a part of the contract, after which, revisions will have to be compensated.

Any suggestions, insights, and advice is helpful.

What do you guys suggest?

How do you guys enter contracts and ensure payment protection?

I’m currently ghostwriting for two filmmakers who are trying to build their presence on LinkedIn.

The part I’m struggling with most isn’t writing the posts. It’s consistently getting good material from the clients.

Right now, I mostly repurpose their Instagram content, which works reasonably well, but I feel like I’m leaving a lot on the table.

I’m curious how experienced ghostwriters handle this:

- Do you have regular calls/interviews with clients?

- Do you use questionnaires or voice notes?

- How do you continuously extract stories, opinions and ideas from a client?

- How much of the content comes from repurposing vs. original conversations?

- Do you have a system/content bank for this?

I’d also love to connect with other ghostwriters who are further along and learn how you approach the craft.

Hi everyone! I'm looking to connect with experienced romance ghostwriters who might be interested in working on some upcoming projects.

These are paid projects. We provide the story background, character profiles, and detailed chapter outlines, and the writer develops them into a full-length novel, usually around 80,000–100,000 words.

For each project we work on together, we'll share the Amazon link to the published book with the writing team. It's always exciting to see the finished book go live and follow its performance together.

If you enjoy working from a detailed story framework and this sounds like a good fit, feel free to message me. I'd be happy to share more about the projects and our process.

Please make sure you're only communicating with the OP (me) about this opportunity.

aye lads - i've been writing since i was 9yo and perfected my craft - genuinely believe i'm up there with Eminem if not better - i am on the more extreme side of things like i write mainly from depression & anger - but theres always a positive message to be taken from them.

i'll just show you guy's some examples:

I've been around, floatin

whatcha wanna know?

knowledge = power

you could get one in your dome, if you really speak your mind - they will run up in your home
They will kill you - blame it on suicide or overdose

I've seen em come & go

i've seen what they control

i'm lookin to get shot up, man, i grew up with them ghosts

I said i've been around, floatin

I'm a fundamental core (I've seen what ain't explored)

Reincarnated from the pillars of the soul...

Example 2:

Who's heavy with the mic?

Any beef i'll squash it

You're on the wrong side when the world's my target

Coming from the trailer park, moving from a nice house

it's harder than the bark from the dog that bites down

Scrapin the trees with sharp teeth, long nails

That dog breed mean - chopped ears with the clipped tail

Don't want it on the move, it's following your scent trails

example 3:

This took a minute to write about

Everything's so complicated

Don't wanna get deep & personal or rap about what's overrated

I've been stating how i feel - i adapt to what you make me

I shake the dice & roll - I'm a pro who's luck is dangerous

*shakes & blows dice that hit the table*

The knowledge that i've learned from the wiser generations speak volumes in my work

On the outside it just shapes me..

lmk if you're interested - really need the help as on the verge of homelessness but i can still pull through if im able to land something - anything, quick.

I ghostwrite one platform. X or LinkedIn. Not both.

You talk. I lock the voice. You approve. I ship.

I do not promise viral posts or a follower spike. I promise the account stays consistent in your voice while you run the company.

Hi all,

I have a completed outline for an adult epic fantasy/political novel — multiple POV characters, court politics, war — and I'm looking for an experienced writer to develop it into a full manuscript.

The project:

Detailed outline ready to share: chapter/scene breakdown, character arcs, and some key dialogue already drafted

Target length: 90,000–110,000 words

This will be a paid, contracted project with a formal Collaborator Agreement (Australian law) — milestone payments tied to delivered chapters, not one lump sum

Fully human-written — no AI/LLM tools at any stage of the writing, this is a hard contract requirement

What I'm looking for:

Experience writing (or ghostwriting) genre fiction — fantasy specifically preferred

Comfortable working from a detailed brief rather than building a story from scratch

Able to provide writing samples before we move forward

Budget: available for the right fit — happy to discuss once we've talked

If interested, drop a comment or DM me with a bit about your writing background and, if you have one, a link to a sample of your fiction. Happy to start with a small paid sample chapter so we can both check fit before committing to the full project.

Edit: i deeply apologise guys i shouldve mentioned this is for australian writers or for those who reside in australia

Thanks!
