SUNDAY, November 8th | Learn the basics of ghostwriting in a day!
Whether you'd like to make a career pivot or gain a new skill, learning to slip into another person's voice is a valuable tool for any writer's toolkit. First, we'll review best practices for preparation, interviewing, organization, and drafting in the ghostwriting context. Then, we'll reflect on and practice what we've learned through close reading of published ghostwritten work, interviewing one another, and focused writing exercises. You'll leave this one-day workshop with stronger interviewing skills and insight into voice and structure, both inside and outside of the ghostwriting contexts.
