From Writer to Ghostwriter
You already know how to write. But ghostwriting is a different skill, and most writers figure it out the hard way, through trial and error with real clients.
This free ebook shortens that learning curve.
From Writer to Ghostwriter walks you through the core skills that make ghostwriting work: capturing someone else's voice, researching without losing that voice, managing clients professionally, and building a portfolio when you have no bylines to show.
Eight chapters. Exercises and checklists in every section. Written for working writers, not beginners.
