A Ghostly Business - Book Writing

A new business survey recently revealed that consultants who were authors earned at least 4 times more than consultants without a book. There is no other field where the differential between those who had published a book and those who hadn't was as great.

Not every consultant makes a good writer. Many consultants have all the information at their fingertips but lack the skill, the time or the patience to write a book. [It takes an estimated 700 hours to write a book of this type]

Most consultants who have published books find that they make more money by hiring a ghost writer, but the bottom line is that you both need to be like minded enough to give coherence to the material.

Windshift Press has recently worked with several consultants to bring their material to book form. We'd be pleased to hear from other consultants to discuss their projects.
