Episode 095 - Finding and Being a Ghostwriter with Rob Archangel and Mikal Keefer


Listen Later

Rob Archangel and Mikal Keefer talk about FINDING AND BEING A GHOSTWRITER. Rob, the principal at author services provider Archangel Ink, discusses the different circumstances that lead a person to look for a ghostwriter, how ghostwriting varies based on the client's needs and skills, and the variables that influence the cost of a ghostwriting service. Mikal, one of the ghostwriters at Archangel Ink, talks about how he matches the voice of the work to the client, and the pros and cons of ghostwriting as a career—and of working on someone else's books instead of your own. And both share tips for how to make a ghostwriting engagement a positive experience for both the ghost and the client.
