About the Event

Saturday, March. 18
2-4 PM ET

open to all mentees, all mentors, program alum, and woman-identifying, trans*, and gender-expansive members of the public.

Did you know that it took over a dozen writers to write all sixty-four Nancy Drew books? Have you ever wondered how iconic movie characters are made into books? Ghostwriters play an integral role in creating various content, including books, blogs, articles, scripts, and even songs. These unsung “heroes” all serve the function of writing content someone else will be credited for, but not all ghostwriters choose the same haunts; some prefer to work for individuals, while others prefer to work with corporations.

Join us as Margery Hannah and Kat Jagai share their ghostwriting knowledge. Margery will discuss how to launch a career in ghostwriting, the differences between ghostwriting fiction and nonfiction, ghostwriting for individuals versus agents, editors and publishers, managing clients, and how to avoid potential horror through carefully crafted contracts. Kat will break down the complexities of writing for hire and creating IP (intellectual property). Attendees will learn about the IP process from beginning to end—including pitching, plotting, and writing—from both the editorial and the writing perspective. Whether you’ve always wanted to write a Star Wars tie-in novel or you think you’ve got the next Big Idea and want to know how to become an IP editor, join in to discover the secrets to ghostwriting!
