Hi Anne,
I wonder how you demonstrate that you can write well, when everything you write is “authored” by someone else?
I am updating my resume after a year of ghost-writing for a medical communications company, but I can’t figure out how I can showcase my work without stepping on the “author’s” toes. Any advice would […]

I came close to firing a client yesterday. It’s been a rocky relationship from the beginning, which was back in the beginning of February.
I’ve been ghostwriting for a number of years, and I have a rough process I’ve found usually works. It goes more or less like this:
First we do a Visioning which I do […]
Darn! It’s cloudy and chilly here in San Diego – and it’s been like this for several days. Okay, I’m a total weather wuss… but the gloom makes me want to go to bed with a novel, not write. At least I think I can blame the weather.

I chuckled when I saw the headline over at Common Sense PR - Tip: You Can’t Push a Rope. Although the post is more or less aimed at working in/with corporate environments, it’s certainly also true in the freelance writing business.
Eric points out that it may be the wrong time - I can’t count the […]

Today, in addition to the job list and it’s newsletter and blog entry, I’ve done a writing coaching session, edited a friend’s article, and talked with someone about marketing. I […]
Over at Writing With Vision, I’ve posted the first part of a two-part series that talks about ghostwriting.
Although it’s aimed at people considering hiring a ghost, my hunch is many freelancers will find it interesting as well.
Write well and often,
Two newsletters:

This morning I did a serious edit of the first two chapters of a ghostwriting project and wrote about 750 words on chapter 3. My client is going on vacation Friday and I was really tempted to see if I couldn’t get another 500 words or so written.
But as I started, I found it impossible […]
I’ve been working on the new ghostwriting project. It’s felt like I was going very slowly, with lots of distractions and many games of solitaire.
If you’d asked, I would have guessed I’d managed to write about 600 words. When I ran the word count, I was surprised and delighted to discover the piece is over […]
