Authors Guild

Ghostwriting can be a sustainable income stream for authors and freelance writers—if you know how to get started. We’re thrilled to host Kelsey Shipman for a session on how ghostwriting works in the book world—including how to find your first clients, assess whether ghostwriting fits your skills and temperament, and build the boundaries necessary for successful long-term collaborations.

As always, this event is free but you must register in advance via our website. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

But that strategy comes with a copyright risk authors need to know about. Tom Clancy’s estate found out the hard way in court.

If you have a loan-out company, or are thinking about setting one up, read our guide before you sign anything.
