Things To Do Before Hiring a Ghostwriter

,

Ghostwriting is a unique way to get your voice out there to your customers without actually using your voice, per se. With that being said, it is important to make sure you make the right hire. Here are some tips we have learned over the years from our own ghostwriting projects.

1. Type of work: It is a great idea to specify what type of ghostwriting you are looking to do. Most ghostwriters specialize in one or more types of writing. If you are looking for someone to write blog posts, e-newsletters or social media, you need to hire a ghostwriter who specializes in online content writing, with an emphasis on search engine optimization (SEO). The same is true if you want to hire ghostwriters to work on books, reports, technical manuals, white papers, articles, and other written content.

2. The length of time: Make sure you and your hired ghostwriter understand and agree upon the length of time it will take to complete a project. If it is a finite project, make sure to set a deadline, requirements, and expectations in the contract.

3. Budget: Be upfront about what you can afford so you can find the best possible match in a ghostwriter that fits your budget.

4. Samples and References: Of course, you should read samples of the potential hire’s work and get references. Because of the confidential nature of the ghostwriting business, you might have to sign a non-disclosure agreement before seeing the samples or talk to references.

5. Voice, Style, and Tone: It is important to find a ghostwriter you have a good working relationship with, especially regarding the style and tone of the writing. When reviewing samples from potential hires, make sure their writing style and voice matches yours.

Summer 2019 Live Music Playlist

Over the weekend, my friends and I are planning a cookout and playing live recordings of our favorite artists.  Could you imagine going to a concert and listening to Chaka Khan, Sade, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Michael Jackson, George Michael, Mary J Blige, Madonna, Wham!, Big Daddy Kane, Massive Attack, and Jodeci. No cookout would be complete without Maze featuring Frankie Beverly.

That would be really unrealistic, but pretty awesome!  Here is our playlist:

Gender Bending Fashion at the MFA

,

I went to the Museum of Fine Arts a few weeks ago, and I left awe-struck by their current exhibit on gender-bending fashion over the last century.  I was fascinated by how fashion has challenged society’s views of gender, race, class, sexuality, and expression.

It is a really great exhibit you should check out.  Throughout the exhibit, the late great David Bowie was featured heavily with images and costume.  He was the master of gender-bending.  Check out this video that chronicle his androgenous history.
