I am always asked what do I require once I take a contract to write an e-book.
I thought it likely that many people have this question, some writers and some hiring a writer. Either way it is important to make sure that the correct amount of information is given to a writer, if they are to create the e-book or book you require. If they are not given sufficient information, the product created could be based around the correct niche, but promoting all the wrong things.
Here is a checklist of a writers requirements.
- Title
- Overview (This is a brief synopsis of the finished product)
- Chapters (Optional but it is good to suggest anything you need included)
- Author’s name (This would be the name of the person paying for the book, or their pen name)
- URL to promote within the book
If you are hiring a writer to create a product for you, I recommend you give them this information, as it will result in you receiving a better book.
If you are a ghost writer or freelance writer, I highly suggest you ask for this information. It will make everything much easier, and heads off potential problems before they start.
Cheers,
What a great resource!
