Questions about hiring a writer
Can I hire a ghostwriter for LinkedIn posts?
Yes. A ghostwriter can turn your notes, conversations or drafts into posts under your name. You review the posts before publishing. For regular work, agree on the topics, number of posts and review process first.
What’s the difference between ghostwriting and thought leadership?
Ghostwriting means someone writes on your behalf. Thought leadership shares your expertise and opinions about your field. A ghostwriter can help you write thought leadership, but the views and experience need to come from you.
Do I need SEO content or better website copy?
If potential customers struggle to find your website, search-focused content may help. If visitors arrive but don’t enquire, review how your pages explain your offer and what visitors should do next. You may need both. Website data can help identify the problem; this quiz is a starting point.
Can you work from my notes or an existing draft?
Yes. Notes, recordings and drafts can all be useful starting material. If you already have a draft, editing may be enough. Send a sample so we can discuss what needs changing before agreeing on the work.
Will the writing sound like me?
That is the aim. Examples of your writing and a conversation about the subject help establish your voice. You review the draft and flag anything you would not say. The brief should also make clear how much editing or polishing you want.
What affects the price?
The format, length, number of pieces, research, interviews and revision requirements all affect the scope. This tool uses Greyline’s published starting prices. It does not apply automatic research surcharges or predict an upper price. A tailored quote will set out the work, fee and what is included.
