Ghostwriting in terms of anonymous contract writing covers all kinds of writing activities. The services offered by a ghostwriter include, for example, the writing of autobiographies, advertising texts, song lyrics, or texts for company websites. Particularly common forms of ghostwriting are speech writing and academic ghostwriting. While ghostwriting in terms of speech writing frequently occurs in industry and politics, academic ghostwriting is about writing scientific sample texts at academic level.

Academic ghostwriting is that form of ghostwriting that centers on academic text writing. Accordingly, academic ghostwriters provide valuable support and assistance when it comes to preparing term and seminar papers, essays, Bachelor’s theses, Master’s theses, Diploma theses, Magister theses, state examination theses, doctoral theses or scientific articles, for example. In doing so, they act either as academic authors that provide an academic template text clients can use for optimum orientation; or as academic coaches that safely guide clients through the writing process by giving helpful hints and making suggestions. It goes without saying that editorial work such as proofreading, editing, as well as translating, paraphrasing and formatting academic texts are part of the service portfolio of academic ghostwriters as well.

Compared to single service providers, a ghostwriting agency like ghostwriting.com offers several advantages at once: For one thing, agencies have the opportunity to select from a large pool of freelancers. This not only allows them to ensure allocation of incoming projects to qualified agents. Also, the multitude of agents enables an agency to respond to shortages in a flexible manner. If, for example, a writer is suddenly no longer available due to illness, an agency is in the favorable position of assigning a replacement writer with the continuation of the project so as to prevent its cancellation. In particularly urgent cases where deadlines are extremely tight, there is the option to have several writers work on a project simultaneously. Another advantage to single providers lies in more extensive services. In addition to personal client advisors, agencies like ghostwriting.com usually employ experienced project managers to ensure sound coordination, processing and monitoring of projects, as well as knowledgeable quality managers that carry out thorough quality checks according to the dual-control principle for every work.
