Ghostwriting: Books and Beyond

Not everyone has the time or talent to write for themselves — but that can spell opportunity for freelancers.

Here’s what you can expect to learn in this class:

• Benefits of adding business ghostwriting to your set of offered services

• Essential skills to be a successful ghostwriter

• How to gain client respect for your ghostwriting skills

• The business of ghostwriting: clients, contracts, pricing, down payments, marketing

• A collaborative process and commitment through the mission

Duration: 1 hour, 5 minutes
