Watch Video

Things have changed in the ghostwriting world …

Thanks to a powerful new algorithm that now rewards only authentic, expert-driven content.

The once niche $750 million industry has grown into a $3.5 billion mainstream powerhouse …

A number projected to reach at least $6.2 billion by 2032 … with the lion share going directly into the hands of the writers.

And the client base has grown 100X!

No longer is ghostwriting reserved for a small pool of celebrities and high-profile names …

Industry research reports the number of executives, founders, and business leaders actively looking for a ghostwriter at roughly two million — and growing!

Which is why professional ghostwriter Bonnie Fanning held this event, to show you how to build a thriving ghostwriting business NOW …

While the window of opportunity is still wide-open.

She was joined by AWAI Executive Director Katie Yeakle and Director of Training Jade Trueblood — and together they addressed all your questions about how to break in, fast.

You’ll discover all this:

  • Why this is now one of the most lucrative writing markets in the world …
  • How to land your first ghostwriting clients …
  • How to set up every ghostwriting relationship for success …
  • Why the fees are much higher than most writers realize …
  • How to tap into one of the most lucrative — and overlooked — niches in the ghostwriting world …
  • How to land and write the big, high-value ghostwriting projects …
  • And much more!

They also answered questions from writers just like you about how fees and retainers work, who the clients are, where to find them, and more.

If you’re ready to use the copywriting skills you have …

Without having to worry about revenue targets … conversion rates … pitching yourself … or wondering where the next project is coming from …

Ghostwriting could be the “new writing home” you’ve been searching for.

And in this candid conversation, Bonnie, Katie, and Jade show you how you can make it your reality.
