Few things to consider before applying
Important: When applying, you’ll be asked to select up to three of your best subgenres. Choose the subgenres you most enjoy and are knowledgeable about . Please submit a sample doc, docx, or PDF file for each subgenre you select. If you’re successful, we’ll hire you for 1, 2 or all 3 of your chosen subgenres based on your ability to write and your understanding of each subgenre's conventions. We put a lot of emphasis on this as it's vital to understand what the reader wants.
We’ll prioritize those who can commit to at least 3-6 months of work. We’re seeking long-term relationships with our team because our clients love to create a series of projects with the same writer. Once expectations are clear with a client, you can expect awesome projects to keep flowing your way.
You must be able to sit and write in order to meet deadlines. Good planning should make this easier. Again, availability throughout the day to respond to messages on our platform is essential.
Finally, you must fully understand what a ghostwriting position entails; no official credit will be given to you for the work completed.
