If your writing skills are not so good, or you’ve failed your English test on the high school, you may be feeling a little slighted about writing an article, report, sales copy or eBook. If it’s your case, there is a solution just for you.
Writing doesn’t have to be the hardest part of your eBook creation. You can actually hire someone to do it for you by going to a site like Elance.com and let qualified people ( Ghost-writers or freelance writers ) bid on your project. There are plenty of good writers there willing to write your eBooks for you at a discounted price.
Many novelists, Hollywood celebrities, biographers and others utilize the services of a freelance writer at some point of their careers.
So what’s a ghostwriter?
It’s someone you pay to provide you with quality professional content in about any format you require.
Here is what a ghostwriter / freelancer can do for you:
• Research on the internet and other sources
• Compilation of all the information you provide them
• Professional writing that makes your ideas sound really great
• Write a compelling book that rivets a reader’s interest
• Usage of language that is apt according to the topic
• Delivering the complete packaged product version – ready to sell.
All you have to do is provide them with your ideas, research, and information about your eBook then let them do the work for you.
Here are some of the advantages of letting a ghostwriter write for you:
• All the writing work and designing is easily outsourced to ghostwriters. They do all the work… you get the benefit (and the profits)!
• Save time and energy that could be used efficiently in other directions.
• You keep 100% of the copyright.
• They can do the research for you.
The procedure is as follows. You have to post your project on the website. The freelancer who is interested in your project will place a bid. The cost of this work depends on the expertise required, the nature of the project and the volume of work. You are free to negotiate. Ghostwriters work mostly for themselves. If you generate repeat business for them a business relationship gets established. The ghostwriters or freelancer may then charge a lower fee for the returning client as it helps generate higher business volumes. The investment you make in hiring a ghostwriter is returned many times over and gives beneficial results. You get an excellent product made and the readers get their value for money through high quality material. This is definitely a win-win situation where you, the freelancer and the client, all are benefited.
Your bid request should include:
• A clear description of your project without giving a lot of details.
• Maximum Bid. This is the highest bid offer you will accept. Freelancer can bid lower to gain your business, but not higher.
• Bidding Close Date. This is the date (in U.S format--mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss) you want to close bidding and not accept any more bids.
• The number of days the freelancer have to work on the project and deliver the final work. If you omit a deadline, then the he is under no time obligation to deliver!
Before accepting any bid you should verify that the person you are selecting is apt to handle the project effectively. You can do this by:
• Asking the ghostwriter for his references.
• Asking for a sample of his work.
• Visiting his profile page, where you can find more information about him and also what people who worked with him have to say about his work.

Book/Writing Advice
By: cjdaves157 | 24-07-2008
I am writing a book. Below is an excerpt, looking for opinions and advice.
Given A Choice
I have often tried to imagine what my life would have been like if I could have picked my parents and circumstances in advance. If given a choice before birth I am sure I would have chosen a wealthy, high profile, investment banker father with a mother who spent her entire days planning fundraising soirées for the benefit of underprivileged kids.
My childhood would have been filled with lavish vacations, shopping sprees and summers studying abroad. All of my friends would line up for the chance to stay over at my five story one hundred and fifty room mansion located somewhere off the west coast where the sun was always shining and the olympic size pool was always inviting. My nanny, obviously from some foreign country, would take care of all the daily chores that would have helped me to grow into a responsible adult. My teenage bedroom would have been the size of a normal ranch style house with a closet the size of a three car garage. I would have been the envy of every teenage girl and the crush of every teenage and preteen boy.
I imagine I would have sailed through adolescence and breezed through young adulthood without any obstacles to help shape my moral values. I envision me selecting Civil Law as my profession and the standard successful husband and two and a half kids. My children would grow to become successful adults with professions in the medical, legal and political fields.
After spoiling tons of grandchildren and leaving my mark on the world, I would have died somewhere around the age of ninety-five, quietly in my home under the care of a most wonderful and loving Hospice worker. My life?s achievements and my husband?s pension would ensure that my children and their children would be set financially for life. I am sure that I am not alone in my thoughts of what would have made the perfect atmosphere for the perfect childhood. Some may have chosen more exotic locations, more wealth or maybe more high profile, celebutant parents. I envision that just enough for whatever I wanted would have been perfect enough.
Similar to how infertile couples pick out sperm at a sperm bank I use to think it would have been nice to review the details of what I was being born into. Looking back now I know that choice is not always a good thing. Most children born into the scenario I described above end up killing thirty of their peers in a school yard shooting, after which suicide seems to become their only way out. I believe that there is a higher power that does review the blueprints of families and has a keen sense for why you are placed where you are. Still, when I think back to the sperm analogy used above, I see my parents picking ?purple sperm? and I came out ?green?.
Information about The Art of the World
By: Marcia Closson | 22-07-2008
I have a series of 30 portfolios entitled: The Art of the World
Illustrated in the Paintings
Statuary, and Architecture of the
World's Columbian Exposition.
Copyright 1893 By D. Appleton Company
This was published in New York.
I have looked everywhere that I can think of for an index to these art portfolios to check if all of the pictures are actually there, and to see if I can establish a current value for this collection.
I hope that you can be of help to me in answering my questions or directing me to a source that can help me.
Thank You.
