Business book ghostwriter Derek Lewis talks about his unusual path to the unusual profession, his working relationship with clients, and his novelist aspirations.
Derek Lewis has written dozens of books, but you won't see his name on any of them. He's the man behind the man or woman, a professional ghostwriter who specializes in business books. He talked to Pacific Standard about his unusual path to the unusual profession, getting CEOs to share their secrets, and his novelist aspirations.
How did you get into the business?
I have met upwards of 100 professional ghostwriters, and every one of them fell into it by accident. Nobody wakes up one day and decides they want to be a ghostwriter. Most ghostwriters come from the journalism field, or they were some kind of author or writer and somebody asked them if they would consider writing their book.
