lively writing: ghostwriting for business and nonprofits

Hello, I’m Christopher Richards. I am a ghostwriter. I write for people who don’t have the time to write. I write for people and organizations who have important things to say, but struggle to articulate them.

Authoring a book or article in your area of expertise is a compelling claim to authority. I ghostwrite nonfiction for business and nonprofit organizations.

When I tell people what I do for a living, I sometimes get a raised eyebrow. But I almost always get questions. What exactly is ghostwriting? How does ghostwriting work? Prospective authors want to know: Will I make money from book sales? What should I look for when choosing a ghostwriter?

Business writing has a job to do. It has to roll up its sleeves and get to work. It has to attract. It has to capture and hold interest. It has to appeal. It has to motivate the reader to take some form of action.

It should be simple, but not too simple. It must be understandable. When writing for readers from different backgrounds, it is even more important to be clear. What seems obvious to native English speakers may confuse those with less mastery of the language.
