A ghost writer is a person who writes a book on behalf of someone else. Ghost writers are paid a fee but are not credited as the author of the book.
We are unable to directly connect you with writers, typists, editors, ghost writers or illustrators. But you may be able to find the information you require from the organisations and resources listed below:
- The Australian Writer’s Marketplace offers a list of commercial services, including companies that offer typing and editing services
- For a list of freelance editors, you may wish to try the Institute of Professional Editors
- The Australian Society of Authors provides member portfolios (this includes writers and illustrators) and a classifieds section on their website
If you are a Writers Vic member, you could also use one of your free member listings to do a call-out for a ghost writer in the Writers Victoria member enews.
While the above resources may be a helpful starting point, please remember to thoroughly research your options in order to find the service that’s right for you.
