Do you want to earn a living as a writer? A love of writing can take you down many career paths, but ghostwriting is an often-overlooked option for a skilled writer. Helping others to tell their stories - through books, articles, or even social media posts - can be a fulfilling (and potentially lucrative) way to put your writing skills to use.
Join writer and ghostwriter Jeff Raderstrong for this workshop to learn everything you need to know about how to start, or accelerate, your ghostwriting career. The workshop will cover:
- What is Ghostwriting? We’ll talk through what ghostwriting is - and isn’t - who would hire a ghostwriter, and why writing collaborators are increasingly in demand.
- Process and Craft: We’ll give an overview of what a typical ghostwriting process looks like, as well as how to translate your experience as a writer to writing for other people.
- The Business of Ghostwriting: Learn about how to get started by creating a ghostwriting portfolio, building a client base, and navigating the ghostwriting industry.
Participants will walk away from this workshop with a better understanding of the current state of the ghostwriting industry, where their unique niche may be found as a ghostwriter, and next steps to start a ghostwriting career or side business.
