How to Be a Ghostwriter

A new 'Craftwork' episode, all about ghostwriting. My guest is Stuart Horwitz, founder and principal of Book Architecture.

Horwitz has spent over twenty years helping writers become authors. His clients have reached the New York Times best-seller list in both fiction and nonfiction, and have appeared on Oprah, The Today Show, The Tonight Show, and in the most prestigious journals in their respective fields.

He has written three highly acclaimed books which together comprise the Book Architecture trilogy: first is Blueprint Your Bestseller: Organize and Revise any Manuscript with the Book Architecture Method; second is Book Architecture: How to Plot and Outline Without Using a Formula, and third: Finish Your Book in Three Drafts: How to Write a Book, Revise a Book, and Complete a Book While You Still Love It.

Horwitz is also an award-winning essayist and poet, and has taught writing at Grub Street of Boston and at Brown University. He holds two masters degrees—one in Literary Aesthetics from NYU, and one in East Asian Studies from Harvard with a concentration in Medieval Japanese Buddhism.
