Event Description
Open to all mentees, all mentors, program alum, and woman-identifying, trans*, and gender-expansive members of the public. Did you know that it took over a dozen writers to write all sixty-four Nancy Drew books? Have you ever wondered how iconic movie characters are made into books? Ghostwriters play an integral role in creating various content, including books, blogs, articles, scripts, and even songs. And while the universal function of a ghostwriter is to write content someone else will be credited for, all ghostwriters do not work the same. Some prefer to work in the safety of companies, while others prefer to freelance favorite haunts. Join us as two ghostwriters share their knowledge. Margery Hannah discusses how to launch a career in ghostwriting, the differences between ghostwriting fiction and nonfiction, ghostwriting for individuals versus agents, editors and publishers, managing clients, and how to avoid potential horror through carefully crafted contracts. Next, GWN mentor Kat Jagai will break down the complexities of writing for hire and creating IP (intellectual property). Attendees will learn about the IP process from beginning to end—including pitching, plotting, and writing—from both the editorial and the writing perspective. Whether you’ve always wanted to write a Star Wars tie-in novel or you think you’ve got the next Big Idea and want to know how to become an IP editor, join in to discover the secrets to ghostwriting!
