You Need a Ghostwriter

There are three things that you need to do here:

1. Create your book's outline
2. Find the best ghostwriter to actually create the book for you at a fair price and
3. Get a stunning cover designed.

Create Your Book's Outline

Before you can employ a ghostwriter to create your book, you need an outline of what it's all about. Otherwise, you are not likely to get something that fits your vision.

You need to do some research in order to do this.

Pick three books that you like the look of from the top ten best sellers in your chosen sub-category. One of these will become the model that you base yours on. As the saying has it "Do what is already successful". For each of these books, you are going to check out:

1. The book cover
2. The title
3. The description (blurb)
4. The Price
5. The length (number of pages)
6. Reader reviews (very important)
7. The "Look Inside" which will reveal the Table of Contents.

Let's have a look at how you can use this information to help your team craft your own personal best-seller.

Choose the book you are going to use as a model. Come up with a suitable pen name.

From reading the blurb, create your own story outline. Ask yourself these questions:

• Who are my main characters? Clearly, there'll be two protagonists, but also think about supporting characters. There may be an antagonist, there may be a third wheel, a jealous lover, comic relief and so on.
• What is the relationship between my characters at the start?
• What is the relationship between my characters at the end?
• What happens to them on that journey and how do they feel about it?
• How can I turn this into a series? Remember that all a series needs is some common element that all the books in the series share. This could be the some or all of the same characters but can also be a common location or device. It just really depends on the story. Bear in mind the popularity of prequels. If you've produced three or four books in a series, your readers will swoop on a prequel.

Read the reviews to work out how you can improve on the original. Just be a little careful here, as there will be a handful of readers who criticize the book for exactly the things that a far larger number of readers found attractive and exciting. These can include things that are not acceptable in modern real life. Read the Outlander series reviews and you'll see what I mean.

You are going to send your ghostwriter both your story outline and a link to the book you are modeling. Your story outline conveys the content you want them to produce and the book you are modeling conveys the style. You will also send them your book template as described in How to Publish Your Book on Amazon: Part 1.
