Working with another writer on any project can be challenging. Both ghostwriting and collaborative ( co-authoring) have similar challenges in that they both require the writers to see eye to eye and be able work well together.
Ghostwriting- Write in another person's voice. They provide a manuscript based upon an author's writing, resource material and often heavily upon interviewing. The ghostwriter seeks to capture and match the author's voice.
Collaborative Writing- Tow or more authors work together as partners to create a book or even a script. They often chose different aspects of what each writer is responsible for. There is a unified vision and voice that is achieved.
Be mindful and decide early on each other's roles, boundaries, and outcome from working together. If you cannot agree on these points early in the process, it will fall apart later. It is not easy to ghostwrite or be a collaborative writer, it is a nightmare if your partner and you cannot work as a well oiled machine.
