Isn't it strange that almost all ghostwriting companies won't tell you on their web sites who their writers are? There's a reason. The work is usually subcontracted out to freelancers across the country, many of whom have little or no experience. Do you want a moonlighter to pen your book, perhaps a housewife who "did good in English" and is looking to make a little extra money?
If the ghostwriters who work for these companies are such pros--and if they are company employees--why can't we know their names? I am a ghostwriter, and I openly list my name and credits on my web site. There's no secrecy. We don't know the names of people working for ghostwriting companies because the companies subcontract work out to whomever is available, with some exceptions.
So here's the scenario: you want a book written and think that the word "company" holds some special legitimacy. You are therefore willing to listen to a sales pitch and speak with a salesman who, in turn, puts you in touch with writers that neither you nor anyone else has heard of. Is this how you want to spend thousands of dollars?
If you want a book written, contact someone who is not afraid to put his name on a web site, someone who openly gives you a resume, complete with education, writing background, and writing credits.
