American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA) and Gotham Ghostwriters co-hosted the first-ever national convention of professional ghostwriters in New York City.
New York Times (January 23, 2024)

Publishers Lunch (January, 24, 2024)
The Gathering of the Ghosts highlighted and promoted the ghostwriting profession, elevating it as a viable career path for writers and bringing them together for a one-day, in-person event with education, awards, and networking.
Our immediate goal is to build a greater sense of community and connectivity within the field and start what we hope will be an ongoing dialogue about the trends shaping our work and the common challenges ghostwriters face.
