25 Mar 2015

‘Ghostwriting can be a rewarding experience in more ways than one, given the enduring public appetite for revealing memoirs by celebrities, sports stars and ordinary people facing extraordinary challenges. Publishers are on the lookout for smart writers who can win the trust of subjects and turn in-depth interviews into gripping writing that puts your reader in the centre of the action, whether you are writing about someone’s abused childhood, exotic sex life or rise to global power or fame. This comprehensive day course, led by professional ghostwriter Andrew Crofts and leading literary agent Andrew Lownie, introduces all the skills you’ll need to get started in this potentially lucrative field. You’ll learn how to find and recognise great stories, and how to build a relationship with your subject that enables you to get to the heart of their life story.’
