Ghostmasters 101: How to Break into the Business of Ghostwriting

What should you charge per project? When is it time to raise your rates? And how do you get over the fear of contract negotiations? Our panel of professional ghosts shares their experiences with setting and increasing (and sometimes decreasing) rates, navigating money conversations with potential and current clients, and how to negotiate and set boundaries with confidence and clarity. It’s time to make your money work for you.
