As one of the `ghost’ contributors to this book, I recommend it highly to readers and writers alike. Lynne Hackles knows her subject thoroughly, from first-hand experience.
For the general reader, Lynne takes you behind the scenes to look into the fascinating but little-known world of the ghostwriter. Did you know, for instance, that almost half of the books that appear on bestseller lists are not written by the people whose names appear on the covers, but by unnamed `ghosts’?
For the writer, here is all the advice and know-how you need to get started in this unsung but lucrative field of writing. From poems and speeches to articles and full-length books of all genres, there is a whole world of writing waiting for you to bring it to life. I do it. So can you. Lynne’s excellent book shows you how.
An excellent guide to Ghost Writing. Lynne Hackles delivers her advice and relates her experience, in a style that puts the reader at ease from the first page. This is a down-to-earth, no nonsense book, that clearly informs without attempting to instruct, such is her writing style. As with Lynne’s previous ‘Writing From Life’, ‘Ghost Writing: How to Ghost Write for Others’, should be on the reference shelf of anyone who is serious about writing.
I wish I’d read this book before I became a ghostwriter. I learned the hard way, by making mistakes. Lynne Hackles’ book would have made my ghostwriting work a lot easier. Plenty of advice here for anyone who wants to write for others.
