It's Nonfiction, not Non-fiction

One way a potential client can gauge whether or not an editor or ghostwriter knows what he's doing is to look for red flags in the writer's resume.  One of the most common errors--a rookie mistake, to be sure--is to spell the word "non-fiction" instead of "nonfiction."  The word is not hyphenated.  It is one word: nonfiction.

If a ghostwriter says that he or she can write your non-fiction, do you really want to hire that writer?  Most people do background checks on doctors, lawyers, car dealerships, caterers, and just about any professional service that costs a great deal of money or that is providing a very important service.  Do your due diligence and educate yourself about ghostwriters and editors.
