You may have heard the term “ghostwriter.” And you might have some questions. (So did the author write the book or not?)
Not every author comes up with every sentence of their book. Many times, there’s a behind-the-scenes person (or team) involved. And it’s not as scandalous as it sounds. In this episode, writer (and ghostwriter) Allison Fallon interviews another ghostwriter and author, Ashley Abercrombie.
Both Allison and Ashley have both published under their own name and have written for other people. They talk about the challenges of each, when to know if you’re ready to share a personal story, and what it's like to help someone else’s voice come clear on the page.
And check out Ashley’s book, Rise of the Truth Teller. *

Why you should write your life story even if no one reads it
We all have our doubts. Maybe you want to write your story, but you're not sure: not sure it's worth the effort, not sure you want to publish. What if no one even wants to read it?
Or maybe you definitely don't want to publish, but you have a story from your past that needs working out—a story you have questions about—and something is telling you to write it down. But you think to yourself, "That's crazy, I'm not a writer."
In this episode, author and writing coach Allison Fallon covers the compelling reasons to write your personal story, even if no one ever reads it.
