contracts that you can use. The contracts will include payment for particular milestones, whether or not revisions will be included, deadlines, and confidentiality issues. Use the standard contracts as starting points. You may want to have an attorney check out the legalese, but from my experience the templates are good. Use them. From individual ghostwriting sites, you certainly want to carefully read, negotiate, and possibly have an attorney review your contracts and work agreements.
Prepare for future projects

What makes a great ghostwriter? Here's what: a reasonable price, timely delivery, a good product, and something else. Yes, something else! The icing on the cake is a good, trust-based, long-term working relationship. If you develop a relationship with a good ghostwriter, you can bring him or her project after project, and accomplish all kinds of goals with his or her help. A good ghostwriter at your disposal is as good as gold.
So lay the groundwork for finding and keeping a good ghostwriter associate. Pay reasonable rates. Don't belittle your writer, and don't expect them to stay awake at night without food or sleep to complete your projects. The ghostwriter is a freelancer, not your employee. As such, he is at liberty to work in the best way possible at his own discretion. If your ghostwriter is particularly good, tell others who might hire him. Bringing in business will always earn you high marks. Pay promptly when jobs are finished. Never withhold payment if the terms of the agreement have been met. Give your favorite ghostwriter interesting new subjects to write about. Tell him he did a good job! Give him partial credit if it will not adversely affect your ebook. Go back to the previous chapter of this ebook to review ways you can slip his or her name in without giving up the secret that your ebook was ghostwritten.
Obviously I have a lot of respect for ghostwriters. Even though I'm not willing to pay what Britney Spears would for an autobiography, I am willing to pay on high end of the ebook pay scale. I like to write, don't get me wrong, it's just that ghostwriters can really write. They know things that I don't even want to know and see details that I don't want to be bothered with. In my experience, it's easy to find a ghostwriter and not quite as easy to find a really good one.
Once I've found a good one or two, I do my best to keep them happy and keep them around. This saves me time, money, and frustration. Once you develop a small group of good ghostwriters for yourself, there's almost no end to the number of ebooks you can write in a year.
Think long-term when you work with a ghostwriter. You can interview new ghostwriters for every project, which isn't difficult, just time-consuming. Or, you can develop a relationship with one or more excellent ghostwriters and save yourself from all that trouble. Treat your good ghostwriter with respect and courtesy, and your investment will come back to you many-fold!
