Want to make more money as a book author or freelancer? One of the most lucrative fields is ghostwriting and co-authoring, yet most writers know little about this niche.

You’ll find answers to all these questions in this 6-week workshop.
By taking this class, you’ll learn everything you need to know on how to become a ghostwriter, whether you want to be a full-time ghostwriter or simply want to add it to your freelancing repertoire. You’ll write a customized letter of introduction (LOI), develop a marketing plan designed to help you attract the clients you’re best suited to work with, and get a chance to practice your ghostwriting skills. There is no instructor for this workshop. You will not receive feedback on assignments. You may review the lessons and exercises on your own schedule.
