Ghostwriting is the practice of hiring a professional writer to create content under your name and credit. Ghostwriters can write books, articles, blogs, newsletters, speeches, and more for their clients. Ghostwriting can be a useful and effective way to share your ideas, stories, or expertise with the world, without having to worry about the writing process.

Your ghostwriter might not be as qualified or experienced as they claim. Some ghostwriters  might exaggerate their credentials, skills, or portfolio to impress you and get hired. They might also outsource your project to other writers who are cheaper or less skilled than them. To avoid this, you should do your research and check their references, testimonials, reviews, and samples before hiring them.

Your ghostwriter might not be as loyal or trustworthy as you hope. Some ghostwriters might breach the confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement that you signed with them. They might reveal your identity or details of your project to others without your permission. They might also use your content for their own benefit or sell it to other clients without your consent. This can result in legal or ethical issues that can harm your interests and rights. To avoid this, you should sign a contract that outlines the terms and conditions of the collaboration, such as the scope, timeline, payment, ownership, rights, confidentiality, revision policy, and dispute resolution process.
