the one person who can actually get the job done properly.
Though you might be saying to yourself that you would NEVER be so bold or thick-headed, it’s an amazing phenomenon that happens more often than you might imagine.
You have to be careful about whom you ask for feedback. Though I believe that most professional writers have good hearts and are honest, going to a competing writer could be a waste of your time simply because they will likely want to write your next book for you or take over on your existing project. As a result, their “critique” may end up being a little more “critical” than accurate.
And since I’m being a little cynical here, there’s also that little unspoken evil thing that lives in the minds of some people—jealousy. If you approach someone who has been wanting to have their book written for years, or who never forgave you for wearing the same gown to the prom... well, let’s just say that a compliment from this person might be a bit understated.
The book writing process, with a professional, is really quite painless and very enjoyable with a truly professional book writer. In fact, it can be one of the most wonderful, memorable experiences of a lifetime! So don’t worry about how you’re going to remember everything or whether you’ve got enough to teach ... the professional will pull you through with shining colors.

Chapter 9
What is a Good Writer Worth?
T o better understand what would be fair and ethical exchange for a professionally written book, you first need to realize what goes into a book as far as time, effort, rare skill and mental brawn are concerned.
The first misconception of how one writes is that you “just write it down and it’s done.” This is a bit off the mark and high-level, to say the least, in how a professional writes a book that is at a level of quality appropriate for the world’s eyes.
Here’s an attempt to give at least a slight idea as to what goes into just a single section of a chapter.
Information is either supplied in writing, on tape or not at all from a client. Often the writer must research to find a lot of the data or to gain an understanding of what needs to be written.
But let’s say, for the purpose of example that an aspiring author wanting a health book and sends his writer information on how to become healthier and lose weight at the same time, efficiently and easily through daily walks.
He supplies this in writing:
“Loosing weight can be as easy as 1-2-3. All you have to do is walk each day aftr dinner. Swing your arms for bettter energy burn. A steady Metabolism is important in burning fat too. Never walk too fast. Too slow isn’t as effective either. If you do this ever day, you will become healthier and lose weight.”
Now this information needs to be expounded upon, not to mention fixing the grammar and spelling errors.
As you can see, there is not a lot of specific information, though a lot of instruction. The potential of having readers do the actions they’re supposed to do in the wrong way is highly probable.
How are the readers supposed to swing their arms? What does metabolism mean? What is too fast or too slow when walking? These are just a few things that need to be brought out, made clear and remain interesting.
A professional writer has to either:
create a list of appropriate questions, go back to the author and pull more information from him/ her through their stimulating and
