WHAT IS A CERTIFIED GHOSTWRITER?
Along with the national economy, the print world imploded in late 2009. Until that time publishing houses worked with authors to develop their books into marketable literary properties. journalists, writers, and in-house editors found themselves suddenly out of workat precisely the same time that easy publishing began enticing millions of people to write books.
Many of the newly unemployed quickly switched gears and became literary agents or independent editorial-service providers. Most served the vast new aspiring-author market as freelance editors. A smaller number hung up shingles advertising themselves as “ghost writers”
or “ghostwriters.”
To answer the need for competent ghostwriters who do not have the time to learn their craft over years of trial-and-error, Wambtac created Ghostwriting Professional Designation Program, (GPDP). The first (and still only) academically sponsored training in the world, GPDP teaches the entire ghostwriting skill set (theory, techniques, knowledge-base) in one intense, 10-month, masters-level course of study. Certified Ghostwriters know how to:
Highlight and emphasize the strengths in your story
Recognize the unifying themes and concepts that make a story “work”
Write the author’s book, not the ghostwriter’s book
Convert an oral narrative to a fluid, compelling manuscript
Maintain the author’s voice, style, intent, and perspective throughout all rewrites and edits
Line edit to maximize its punch, drive, and reading pleasure
Guide you through today’s publishing-options maze to the best route for your particular title
