Strunk & White's "Elements of Style" describes the reader as:
"foundering in
a swamp, and it [is] the duty of
anyone attempting to write English to drain this swamp quickly, and get
[the reader]up on dry ground..."
We agree.
"What am I trying to say?
What words will express it?
What image or idiom will make it clearer?
Is this image fresh enough to have an effect?"
George Orwell in "Politics and the English Language."

What should you look for in a ghostwriter? A ghostwriter should ask you questions, listen to your answers, and give you an honest opinion. A ghostwriter should find the best way to put your voice on the page. In this way your facts, beliefs, and ultimately your truth become the core of a well-told story. Once your book is written, your ghostwriter should remember that it is your story.
