Goodbye freelancing
hello
profitable
ghostwriting
Build a profitable ghostwriting business from the ground up–even if you’re just starting out!
WRITING IS EASY. BUSINESS IS HARD.
If only you could just snap your fingers and create a successful ghostwriting business. You’d be doing what you love. You could work from anywhere. Plus, with your writing skills, you know you could make amazing money.
But that’s all easier said than done.
First, you’d have to find clients. And learn to make them happy. And set up a website. And figure out how to process payments. And find more clients. And post on social media. And learn about taxes and accounting. And find more clients.
Aaaaand suddenly your to-do list is longer than the books you wanted to write.
You don’t need a magic wand.
You just need the right tools for the job.
Marketing for Ghostwriters
You built it, but they didn’t come. Unfortunately, that’s not surprising. If you want a steady flow of high-paying ghostwriting clients, you need a marketing system that works for you.
Ghostwriting Business Structure
You’re building a ghostwriting business because you want to write for a living. But if you want stability, freedom, and peace of mind, the business part matters, too.
Client Systems for Ghostwriters
Ghostwriting is an industry built on all things custom. You need a strategy to keep your sanity while delivering an amazing personalized client experience.
“I’m a fiction writer, writing coach, and Certified Ghostwriter, but I don’t have a business background. So when it came time to launch my coaching business, I had no idea where to start.
After four months of coaching, I’m an established writing coach with several solo and group coaching services, and I work with a variety of writers from around the world.”
The one-stop shop for
ghostwriting Business
Success
Let’s face it. Most online business advice isn’t built for you. You’re a writer. You’re more creative than cut throat. You prefer a quiet room and a laptop to crowded networking events. And you’d do almost anything to get out of running numbers (math… ugh…).
But here’s the thing: the ghostwriting industry is more competitive than ever.
If you want to build a ghostwriting business that supports your needs, goals, and dreams, you can’t just fake it til you make it.
You need a plan.
How can we help you?
Whether you need ghostwriting business coaching, marketing courses for literary professionals, or downloadable business tools, we’ve got what you need to build a thriving ghostwriting career.
Here’s what writers are saying about our ghostwriting business coaching and marketing strategy support:
“My biggest challenge before joining the course was getting an overall strategy for my marketing. Specifically who was my target author, and what would be the best way to get in front of them so they could see what I was offering.
Having a system laid out and understanding what I need to do step by step was so helpful… Any ghostwriter that doesn’t have a marketing strategy or has one that’s not getting results will benefit from this course.”
“Amanda brought years of industry experience, marketing expertise, and whip-smart strategic thinking. I went into our first call feeling completely lost and came out with a sense of purpose, liberated from tired orthodoxies. Amanda helped me see that I really can focus on what I care about most, and she did it with a sense of fun and positivity.”
“Before working with Amanda, my business wasn’t well-positioned to attract the ideal ghostwriting prospects. I also didn’t have a solid pipeline of prospects and clients. My goal was to redefine my value positioning, identify my ideal target audience, and have a pipeline of clients for a year out.
After working with Amanda, I have a well-defined business offering, good understanding of my market, solid prospecting process, and a healthy sales/client pipeline. I’m booked with clients for a year.”
“I appreciate how Amanda took the initiative to understand my learning style and customized our weekly sessions accordingly. After eight sessions with Amanda, my skills and confidence more than quadrupled.”
Meet the ghost behind your toolkit
Hi, there! I’m Amanda Nell Edgar. I built a half-million-dollar writing business from scratch. But it wasn’t always easy. As a former freelancer, I was trapped in the hustle mindset:
- Constantly scrambling for clients
- Always panicking about money
- Bargaining with clients who treated me like garbage
- Charging way less than I was worth
- Spending my life angry, scared, disappointed, and miserable
But once I figured out the business side, everything changed. Now, I work less, earn more, and absolutely adore my clients.
I created The Ghostwriter’s Toolkit to help you do the same. Whether you’re just getting started or trying to turn your freelance work into a full-time career, I’m here to help you skip the guesswork and build a ghostwriting business that actually lets you focus on what you love: The writing!

dream life!

Any ghostwriter that doesn’t have a marketing strategy or has one that’s not getting results will benefit from this course.
Having a system laid out and understanding what I need to do step by step was so helpful. Courses I’ve taken in the past don’t go into the detail this one does with examples and detailed (helpful) feedback from the instructor.
