Publishing - Powell, Ohio, United States
I've been an author since 2004. But for the first 8 years, it was always a side-hustle. After all, with a wife and 3 kids, I didn't think I could make a living as a full-time writer. Then in 2012, my friend Scott asked me if I could help him fulfill his dream of writing a book. After chatting further, he said he needed a ghostwriter. I didn't know the first thing about ghostwriting, and I certainly never planned on becoming one. All I knew is my friend needed help, and so I jumped in headfirst. Besides helping Scott write a compelling book, that same year I also left my day job. If you guessed those two events are related, you're right. In a way, you could say that ghostwriting helped me turn my dream into a full-time gig.Today, I don't ghostwrite any longer because my current business focus doesn't offer me the bandwidth. After all, in 2014 I started a publishing company: Author Academy Elite. We've published hundreds and hundreds of books from authors around the world.I've had a vision to train up a guild of ghostwriters. Until now, I haven't had the margin to do so. But within the last year, after turning down several potential books inside Author Academy Elite due to a lack of ghostwriters, I realized we couldn't delay any longer.I knew that many writers, editors, and ghostwriters would join Ghostwriter Academy and start their own businesses or level up their current ones. This is all part of the plan. Whether you get your gigs on your own or through The Guild, I believe in abundance. After all, if 82% of the population wants to write a book, then the world needs high quality ghostwriters defined by clarity, competence, and confidence.
