Simply Write w/ Polly Campbell

259. Ghostwriting with Marcia Layton Turner


Listen Later

Many people from entrepreneurs to entertainers hire ghostwriters to write books on their behalf.

And that makes for some great writing opportunities for writers who can manage a book project from start to finish and do it in the voice, cadence, and tone of their client.

But how can you break into the ghostwriting business? What skills are required for writers who want to work as ghostwriters, and what is it like to collaborate with a client while writing a book on their behalf?

Veteran author and ghostwriter Marcia Layton Turner explains the unique niche of ghostwriting, and how she landed her first client and has gone on to write dozens of books over the years. She also talks about fee structures, boundaries, and what to expect as a ghostwriter.
