What It Takes to Become a Successful Ghost Writer with Ruby Peru

In this episode, I interview author, biographer, and ghostwriter Ruby Peru. She's written an astonishing 19 books to date, and she spoke to me about how she balances working on her craft whilst working on books for her clients. She also has to juggle this with finding her next client, which can be a painful lesson to learn as a freelancer. It's great to get the paycheque at the end of your commission, but then you have to find your next client.I wanted to know what got Ruby into writing memoir, non-fiction and ghostwriting, and she also talks about how she is in the process of building up her publishing company.In this episode we discuss: Are there any rules to follow when writing a memoirThe difference between self-help books and memoirsThe process for writing a memoirRuby explains her editing processSetting expectations at the start of the projectHow it feels to ghostwrite a book and see someone else's name on the front pageRuby's promotion strategiesResources:Ruby PeruPangloss PressBusiness Cards and Shoe LeatherScrivenerBookBubBits of String too Small to SaveSupport the showIf you enjoyed the show please leave a review on Apple.
