In this class, participants will learn ways to get started ghostwriting, where to find helpful resources, how much to charge, and other must-know basics of the profession. We’ll talk about how to craft manuscripts and the art of communicating with your author. Then everyone will try their hand at ghostwriting a page from an actual interview transcript. If you’ve ever been curious about ghostwriting, this class will answer your questions!

Leslie Hinson is a ghostwriter, fiction writer, and editor living in Nashville, TN. She holds a Master of Fine Arts in fiction from Sewanee, University of the South. She is an assistant editor at The Northwest Review literary journal. She also maintains a roster of long-form copy clients, creating their blogs, email outreach, and other written materials.

In 2021, Leslie became a ghostwriter at Scribe Media. Leslie has a varied professional background––ranging from teaching French to marketing indie books to running a small music school––which culminates beautifully in her ability to write from different professional points of view. Her many personal interests (music, travel, film, language learning, etymology, human anatomy and physiology, biodiversity––the list goes on!) all inform her ability to craft lush detail around anyone’s story. At Scribe, Leslie quickly carved out a niche as an excellent writer of memoirs and science knowledge-share books.
