What Is Ghostwriter Academy?

I had the vision to create an elite group of ghostwriters after I had to turn down several requests for my services as a ghostwriter. I no longer consider myself a ghostwriter because my current business focus doesn’t offer me the bandwidth. After all, in 2014, I started a publishing company: Author Academy Elite. We’ve published hundreds and hundreds of books written by authors all around the world.

Ghostwriters in 2020: The Current Trends and Beyond

Many traditional publishing houses have admitted that 70% of the books they publish were written by a ghostwriter. Even crazier—99% of books published by artists, celebrities, and politicians were done with the help of a talented ghostwriter. Would you like to be one of those high-paid ghostwriters?

How to Prepare Your Manuscript for an Editor

One of the greatest feelings in the world is when we realize that we’ve just finished writing a book. But when we go back to read it, sometimes we question whether it’s good enough to publish or not. That’s when the imposter syndrome starts to set in, and we feel like failures.

How to Turn Your Book Into a Six-Figure Business

Why Focus on Six Figures? Though it might surprise you,  it’s not about the money. Let me tell you my author journey to show you what I mean...
