When hiring a ghostwriter, it is important to have a detailed agreement with your ghostwriter. To have a smooth collaboration, ensure the signing of a contract that includes the preparation of the manuscript, pricing, payment, timely deliveries, etc. The following are some of the factors that you should include in your ghostwriter or book printing companies contract.  

Ensure you have a nondisclosure agreement in your contract to prevent your project from disclosing, circulating, or revealing identity. In addition, the right to the content created must be included. This will help keep your project confidential and won't let the ghostwriter claim ownership of the work. 

Decide with your ghostwriter about the number of revisions you can ask for and include in the contract. It will clarify the fee and prevent any dispute. State payment terms and include the method of payment and additional cost for the entire project. At the same time, it also includes the payment schedule, instalments, and method of payment.
