I am looking for an experienced ghostwriter to assist me with a
non-fiction business book.  Project involves writing and heavy
developmental editing using my recorded dictation as the base.

Therefore, I need links of websites of US-based ghostwriters with
extensive experience with ghostwriting / editing non-fiction business
books (not merely writers of e-books or self-published books).

There are lots of ghostwriters and many have experience with fiction
and some with non-fiction but ideally I want to identify those that
solid experience with the non-fiction business genre (e.g.,
substantive books on management, leadership, strategy, economics) and
not just e-books.

Thanks.

Greetings Healthresultsgroup:

I have examined many sites and compiled what I believe to be the most
interesting leads from among the many choices on the Internet.  One of
the following persons should be able to assist you in the manner you
seek.

Great.  Thanks for the fast response.  I was hoping for more examples,
particularly of ghostwriters with more business non-fiction
experience, but this is very helpful.

Greetings again Healthresultsgroup:

Thank you for your rating, comments and added generosity!  I'm
delighted you are pleased with the results.

There were more examples but many were the "e-book" places you didn't
want.  Some were also web sites that I felt did not present their
information in a professional manner or, after I read the
bio/credits/examples, I wasn't impressed with the body of work.

An alternative for you is to use a site such as Elance.  Located at
http://www.elance.com you would register and then post your project
for bidding.  It is used mostly by freelance writers and you may
discover a ghostwriter in that manner.

Another way to approach your book project is to contact a literary
agent or publisher with a book proposal.  If they have interest in
your proposal, they would no doubt have suggestions for a ghostwriter
with which to pair you for the project.  Depending on your topic, some
publishers are able to presell books that *will* be finished but are
currently in development.

Best regards,
journalist-ga
