Become a Ghost-writer Information

Become a Ghost-writer is a course by Roz Morris designed to help aspiring writers learn the art of ghostwriting, win projects, and make money writing books for others.

Learn how to write books for others, win projects and make money

Many of the books that you see on the bestseller charts and the bookshop shelves are concealing a big secret. They weren’t written by the person whose name is on the cover.

They were the work of ghost-writers—professional authors for hire.

These authors may never be seen or acknowledged, but they are earning good money and are an essential part of the publishing ecosystem.

Why would you write a book you can never take the credit for?

• You get saleable book ideas
• You’re paid up front, and if a publisher is involved the advances are usually good
• You have no marketing responsibilities—unless you want them
• You work in a team—the client and maybe a literary agent, editor or publisher
• Research is much quicker, so you can produce books more swiftly
• You can broaden your writing horizons and repertoire—slip into another person’s world, voice and style
• You can make valuable contacts in the publishing industry for projects of your own
