\"\"<\/a>Ghostwriting is a great career option for creative writers, but few actively consider it during their degree programs.<\/p>\n

What is a ghostwriter? When an individual wants to write a book or article but doesn\u2019t have the writing experience or time to do so, they may hire a ghostwriter to anonymously compile their ideas, research, or story into book or article.<\/p>\n

Since earning his MFA in poetry at California State University, Long Beach, Wilkinson English Professor Scott Creley<\/a> has worked on dozens of freelance content writing and editing projects, including ghostwriting at least eight projects in the last two years. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, he found himself with more time to freelance, and he\u2019s currently working on two book-length ghostwriting projects.<\/p>\n

By ghostwriting professionally, Creley has been able to work in the writing and publishing industry and also pursue his own creative interests under his own name.<\/p>\n

To writers at any stage of their writing careers, here are five things Creley believes you should know about ghostwriting, and how writing for another lends itself to your own writing pursuits:<\/p>\n

Networking Is Key<\/b><\/p>\n

Like many freelancers, Creley\u2019s client base is built from referrals. For those interested in ghostwriting, he recommends building a network of people both interested in writing and interested in hiring writers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the ways to do that is being involved in literary communities and events,\u201d he says. \u201cEspecially attend events that might be talking about small publishers, independent publishing, editing, publishing, and content writing.\u201d<\/p>\n

But simply attending the event isn\u2019t enough. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to hang around and eat the cookies and drink the coffee. Approach people and talk to them. You\u2019ll have a common interest; you\u2019re all writers. You all care about creating,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Then stay in contact with those you meet. The two ghostwriting projects Creley is currently working on came from referrals from people he met two years ago.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s About the Client<\/b><\/p>\n

While there\u2019s some artistry in ghostwriting, at its core, it\u2019s about delivering a product to a client. \u201cOne thing that helps me have a good relationship with the people I edit or ghostwrite for is remembering that they\u2019re putting you in a position of trust,\u201d Creley says. \u201cThey\u2019re showing you something they really care about. They\u2019ve invested a lot of time into it, and they think it\u2019s important to put it into the world. You have to conduct yourself accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n

In practice, this looks like putting extra work in when necessary, being clear and diplomatic about making changes to the text or story, and always bringing it back to the needs of the client. \u201cIf they want to take things in a different direction, I do it because it is ultimately theirs. I\u2019m just facilitating putting it together,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

However, Your Voice Is Not Completely Muted<\/b><\/p>\n

Because ghostwriters aren\u2019t credited for their writing, it\u2019s easy to assume they don\u2019t contribute their voice to the project, but that\u2019s false. \u201cThe final product is very influenced by your voice and your ideas. It\u2019s your language and goes at your pace,\u201d Creley says. \u201cAt the end of the day, you\u2019re the one filling in the sentences and getting the chapters from A to B. Even somebody primarily ghostwriting would see their voice out there \u2014 it just wouldn\u2019t have their name on it.\u201d Creley points out that ghostwriting asks, \u201cif you think it\u2019s philosophically more important to be contributing to arts and literature than getting credit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pandemic Or Not, Ghostwriting Is Usually Remote Work<\/b><\/p>\n

COVID-19 has altered most work models, but it hasn\u2019t changed the way Creley works with his ghostwriting clients. Because of its freelance nature, he\u2019s always worked digitally, usually communicating via email and phone with his clients. This allows him to work with clients living outside California or even outside the United States.<\/p>\n

It Helps Spur Creative Pursuits<\/b><\/p>\n

As Creley has freelanced over several years, he\u2019s noticed positive side effects on his personal writing and publishing habits. \u201cGhostwriting makes me really value the pieces I publish under my own name and ruminate on them more,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019ve found I send out more work when I\u2019m ghostwriting than when I\u2019m not, which is strange. Maybe there\u2019s some drive to get my own voice there because I\u2019m writing under somebody else\u2019s voice too. Maybe the more writing you\u2019re doing, the easier it is to write.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
