Everything Ghostwriting

To write as someone else feels daunting, but it’s not hard to get the basics if ghostwriting is something you want to dabble in.

If you’re not actively figuring out how to use AI as a tool, I predict you have less than a year left in this industry.

AI is creating academic shortcuts, doing the thinking for students and professors, and this is dangerous, eventually leading to cognitive decline.

Ghostwriting requires pulling meaning out of midair. If you’ve ever helped a friend untangle a messy thought; read between the lines and nailed what someone meant; or turned a vague idea into something clear, moving, and memorable; you’re already doing one of the hardest parts. That’s the skill most ghostwriters struggle to teach. Great ghostwriters aren’t just writers. They’re intuitive translators. Thought whisperers. Quiet observers who catch what isn’t said and turn it in

It’s true that generative AI has made it impossibly easier to make art, but does "easy" mean better? The megalithic boom of AI-generated content has impacted every aspect of the internet. So much so that it has begun to spill out of the online sphere and onto the public, specifically our environment. From detrimental water and energy consumption to an alarming amount of waste entering our atmosphere, people’s inability to create with their own hands may lead to an unthinkable

Ghostwriting can be lucrative, flexible, and creatively fulfilling--- but it is not a shortcut to easy money.

AI is busy eating its own tail. Every time it spits something out, it’s pulling from the same pool of recycled-from-the-same-pool content. That’s why so much online copy now reads like it was written by the same overcaffeinated intern who just discovered Grammarly. And that’s exactly what happens when clients hire the new breed of “AI ghostwriter.” AI Ghostwriting Is a Goofy Flex They start with a prompt, not with the client. The machine leads, and the client’s “unique” story

Many mistake a memoir for a diary or an unedited brain dump. It's neither. It’s a deliberate, ruthless act of storytelling. And the hardest part is deciding what earns its place on the page. That’s where I come in. Choosing What to Include Your memoir is the sharp, focused version of your life, and it requires a thread that pulls a reader from page one to the end without losing them. But when it’s your life, everything feels important. That’s why you need someone who can see

In New Orleans, the air holds on to things. Some people come here to disappear. Others come to be reborn. Writers, artists, and wanderers have claimed it for over a century — lured by its ghosts, its legends, and the way truth and fiction braid together until they’re impossible to tell apart. It’s a city where history lingers like perfume, where mystery is currency, and where the sounds of jazz spill into the streets, wrapping themselves around every story. That’s why the Gho

I am not anti-AI. I’ve been writing about it for over a decade, long before ChatGPT became the new boyfriend of bored office workers everywhere. But I have a problem with it, because the “AI hype loop” is real—and it’s getting dangerous. Running Before The Baby Steps AI can be a useful tool. It can brainstorm, outline, spit back patterns it’s seen a million times. But it is not your best friend, therapist, or spiritual guide. And it sure as hell isn’t the voice of truth. The

Every week now, I see another post, ad, or course promising to teach you how to “make six figures ghostwriting with AI.” The pitch is always the same: Just learn the right prompts, churn out content in minutes, and watch the money roll in. It’s seductive. It’s also nonsense. The Harsh Truth If your entire “ghostwriting” business is just prompting ChatGPT, you’re not a ghostwriter. You’re a middleman. And middlemen get cut out the second the buyer realizes they can do the exac
