Learn how to become a bestselling ghostwriter with our exclusive ghostwriting course
Ghostwriting is an incredible career that offers flexibility, independence, and lucrative pay once you establish yourself. Yet, you can’t study it at university, there’s no clear roadmap, and we’ve yet to see a single LinkedIn post saying “Ghostwriter wanted.” So how does anyone actually become a ghostwriter?
It’s a question we hear all the time – but the real answer requires more than a quick chat or a friendly email to be genuinely useful. That’s exactly why we’ve created our Ghostwriting Masterclass: a behind-the-scenes series that shows you how to break into the industry, build a client base and turn your writing talent into a successful ghostwriting career.
