ANECDOTE

How He Became A Ghostwriter

  • Jeff Haden fell into ghostwriting after his wife pushed him to write a $50 press release that led to more work.
  • He discovered writing for others paid while writing in his own name rarely sold.
ADVICE

Use Public Writing To Market Ghost Work

  • Publish work under your own name to market services you can't publicly link to because of NDAs.
  • Use platform writing to showcase skill and attract clients despite ghostwriting secrecy.
INSIGHT

Ghostwriting Is Product Work

  • Ghostwriters often work for clients who can sell books but lack time or writing skill.
  • The hardest part of book projects is marketing and selling the final product, not the writing itself.
