There's nothing wrong with initially contacting more than one ghostwriter, but your goal should be to find the ghostwriter who is the best fit for your project. This is better achieved by reading ghostwriting websites carefully and researching ghostwriters who look promising based on the ads and websites.
While many ghostwriters will wait indefinitely for you to get back with them, these ghostwriters are the ones who juggle multiple projects and can therefore afford to wait weeks or months for you to make a decision. True professionals in the area of ghostwriting look for the perfect client whose work resonates with them. They are careful and selective in who they choose to write for. And they don't juggle multiple projects.
You can cast your net wide, but if you do, you will get a lot of different replies that are apt to be confusing. You'll also get more than a few sales pitches. Just as in buying a car, you don't have to settle on the first vehicle you see, but you usually start with an idea of what kind of automobile you want. In the same way, do your due diligence and search for a ghostwriter who has the right qualifications. You can conduct a better, more productive search by following the guidelines in the posts on this site.

Ghostwriting Clearinghouses: Odesk, Elance, and Fiverr
Many websites coming up in a search for ghostwriters are ghostwriting clearinghouses, such Odesk, Elance, and Fiverr. These sites offer you access to personnel in many areas, including writing and editing.
Many of the ghostwriters who post their resumes on these sites work multiple jobs at once. They also work for fees that rarely match the professional rates charged by top-level ghostwriters.
Read the resumes on these sites carefully to make sure that they are worded professionally and that they are free of any grammatical errors. Also, don't assess a potential freelance writer's capabilities simply by how many jobs they have completed. This metric tells you nothing. Always insist on looking at a comprehensive resume and asking the right questions of anyone you may want to hire.
