Psssst--Want to Know a Secret? You Too Can Find Work as a Ghostwriter

What do Dr. Phil, Hillary Clinton, Lance Armstrong, and 45 percent of all the authors on The New York Times non-fiction best-sellers list have in common? They did NOT write the books that bear their names. Their books were written by ghostwriters, well paid but often mysterious members of the publishing hierarchy. Publishers who reject more than 95 percent of the manuscripts submitted by unknown authors are, believe it or not, actually desperate to find reliable ghostwriters who can put their own egos on hold and learn to write in someone else's voice.

This workshop will dispel many common ghostwriting myths while offering real world, practical advice on how you can develop your own career as a professional ghostwriter. Handouts include a sample query letter for ghostwriting assignments, a sample ghostwriter's resume, a "Hot Tips" list, and a guide to researching potential ghostwriting assignments.
