Episode 2.1: Ghostwriting with Laura Gale

Laura Gale started her career in the traditional publishing world and now offers a boutique service that specializes in writing, publishing, and marketing powerful, profitable books that transform her clients’ businesses.

I’m incredibly excited to bring you this conversation with Laura because her specialty is in ghostwriting, and that’s a topic I know many of you are interested in. She takes the words, experiences, and ideas in her clients’ heads and translates them into a compelling story that shows their readers why they’re the best in the business.

In this episode, we discuss what led Laura to a career in ghostwriting, her process for getting into a client’s voice, why she prefers to only work with one client at a time, what every business owner should consider when deciding whether or not to hire a ghostwriter, her process for working with a client on ghostwriting their book, why she believes a ghostwriter should be an advocate for the reader, what a business owner can do to help ensure the ghostwriting process goes as smoothly as possible, why she likes to ensure the revision process is collaborative, her main piece of advice for business owners wanting to work with a ghostwriter on their book, and more.
