I am a ghostwriter. It’s a unique and often misunderstood profession. Ghostwriting is a blend of artistry, empathy, and discretion, played out behind the scenes.
Here’s a list that captures the essence of what it’s like to be a ghostwriter:
1) Master of Voices: Ghostwriters adeptly adopt various voices and styles, shifting from writing memoirs to business articles, each with a different tone and perspective.
2) Anonymity as a Norm: Despite the success and impact of their work, ghostwriters remain anonymous, with their craft attributed to others.
3) Versatile Research Skills: Their work requires extensive research, interviewing, and immersing in diverse subjects to write convincingly on any topic.
4) The Invisible Force: Ghostwriters are the unseen power behind compelling speeches, articles, books, and social media posts, influencing audiences without recognition.
5) Confidentiality and Trust: Key aspects of ghostwriting are maintaining the confidentiality of clients and building relationships based on trust and discretion.
