OK, my suggestion if you want to be a ghost-writer is: Contact literary agents in New York City. Via email. Describe your skills and that you want to ghostwrite. The more published stuff you have to show you can do it, the better.

Agents sometimes get celebrity clients who can’t write worth shit, and they’ll turn to you — if you’re lucky.

And if any agent gets back to you, but still says “No,” pump them for leads and information — also to an esoteric profession called “book packagers,” who often need ghostwriters.

What if you want to be a particularly bad writer who gets huge advances? Or if you want to be a writer who can’t be troubled to write, finally gets around to it, and find yourself being POTUS?

How do I get one of those deals?
