In today's episode, I talk about how amazing writer retreats and conferences are, how important it is to keep learning all you can about your craft, and I give a huge shoutout to The Shit No One Tells You About Writing podcast hosts for putting together such a terrific weekend retreat for us. Then I move on to this week's pitch critiques. After, I talk with "the world's most prolific ghost," Daniel Paisner, ghostwriter of 70+ books, 17 of which have been bestsellers. His new novel, Balloon Dog, came out this past summer. We chat about:

  • books that “take off” and which ones don’t
  • what inspired the novel
  • capturing the voices of the tellers of stories as a ghostwriter vs capturing the voices of his own fictional characters
  • monetizing your writing skills
  • the pivot point of a writer
  • the life of a ghostwriter
  • embracing the term “ghostwriter”
  • working with the celebrities he’s writing for
  • his podcast, As Told To: The Ghostwriting Podcast
  • his advice to newer writers who want to monetize their passion for stories

    • Daniel can be found on his website at www.danielpaisner.com, Twitter @DanielPaisner, and Facebook at DanielPaisnerBooks.
