    About this ebook

    How to run a ghostwriting business, how to get leads, how to sell new clients, how to write a book people actually want to read, and how to sell manuscripts to publishers - it’s all here in Here's To The Crazy Ones .

    Here's To The Crazy Ones is a book about ghostwriting by a ghostwriter and the strange but gifted clients he serves. It describes how to find prospective clients, how to sell them ghostwriting services, how to write their books, and how to get those books published. And all in plain no nonsense language. The book is chock full of information ghostwriters can use to help them succeed, including mining for prospective clients; the all-important sales process which, if followed carefully, will almost always close sales by itself; how to spot and steer clear of con artists who prey on aspiring authors; what to include in non-disclosure agreements, ghostwriter-clients agree-ments; and many other valuable tips and techniques.
