I’ve often been approached by aspiring authors who feel embarrassed about presenting their manuscripts. Sometimes concerns and doubts about plot or character dominate their thoughts, if fiction; though, more often than not, the source of anxiety is misuse of language.

Some people even apologise in advance for their perceived lack of skill before releasing their work; when, in fact, they should be congratulating themselves for completing a manuscript, however patchy they might regard their efforts.

Any professional, self-respecting ghostwriter will assuage such worries, possessing the necessary skills to maximise the work’s potential, while weeding-out any mistakes. Working with dyslexic people, for example, can, in my experience, involve a slightly different kind of approach to, say, somebody whose punctuation alone requires attention…but the end result is much the same: a manuscript that looks great on the page, with everything in the right place, and content as tight as possible.

It might take a little longer to get over the finishing line in some cases, but that in itself can be immensely rewarding; and, in any case, no jobs are ever the same. It may be comparable to a translator who’s better at interpreting some languages than others, but who will ensure the safe movement of words from one side of the fence to the other.
