Ghostwriters Meet Up

#sxsw #SXghosts

Ghostwriters get a first-hand look into the minds of many of today’s great thinkers, innovators, and storytellers. We write bestsellers, yet never see our names on the bestseller list. We spend our days verbally poking and prodding authors in an attempt to get them to tell us everything they know, and some things they didn’t know they knew. Our role can change daily, from translator to investigator, megaphone to sounding board, comrade-in-arms to confidant. We know we’ve done a good job when no one knows we’re there.

Want to talk about it? Ghostwriters, come out from the shadows to mix and mingle, share stories, and bond over drinks (beverages provided; adult beverages provided for those 21 and up). Just this once, let’s see and be seen!
