Episode 106: Jenna Glatzer

As a freelance writer, Jenna Glatzer has lent her voice to books, articles, essays, blog posts, scripts—even greeting cards and doormats, she's proud to say. She is the author or co-author of more than 35 books, many of them written in collaboration with some of our leading actors, athletes, CEOs, models, reality television stars, medical professionals and news personalities. Oh, and Celine Dion! (How's that for a ghostwriting credit?)   Jenna joins us on the podcast to discuss the very many twists and turns her career has taken over the years, including a discouraging turn of late as she struggles with a debilitating vocal disorder known as sulcus vocalis, which since 2022 has made it difficult for her to speak—which in turn has made it difficult for her to work as a collaborative writer. "I built up a career as a ghostwriter for 20 years," she shares, "and lost it in a day."   Join us as Jenna reflects on what it means for a writer with a gift for capturing the voices of others to be unable to harness her own voice, as she looks ahead to the ways she might re-imagine her many gifts as a storyteller and resume her career as one of publishing's most in-demand ghostwriters.   Learn more about Jenna Glatzer: Website Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Please support the sponsors who support our show: Gotham Ghostwriters' Gathering of the Ghosts Ritani Jewelers Daniel Paisner's Balloon Dog Daniel Paisner's SHOW: The Making and Unmaking of a Network Television Pilot Heaven Help Us by John Kasich Unforgiving: Lessons from the Fall by Lindsey Jacobellis Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discount Libro.fm (ASTOLDTO) | 2 audiobooks for the price of 1 when you start your membership Film Freaks Forever! podcast, hosted by Mark Jordan Legan and Phoef Sutton Everyday Shakespeare podcast A Mighty Blaze podcast The Writer's Bone Podcast Network Misfits Market (WRITERSBONE) | $15 off your first order  Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discount Wizard Pins (WRITERSBONE) | 20% discount
