In this episode of the Rising Author Experience, I sit down with two powerhouses in the ghostwriting world: Jeff Mangus and Tim Jacobs. Between them, they’ve worked with hundreds of authors, landed major publishing deals, built bestsellers, and now they’re training the next wave of professional ghostwriters through The Academy of Ghostwriting.

We talk about what it really takes to turn your writing talent into a sustainable, high-earning business: landing clients, running effective discovery calls, positioning yourself as a premium professional, and building confidence so you do not have to go back to a 9–5 you hate. Jeff and Tim share candid stories of failed calls, hard lessons, and how they’ve designed a live, hands-on program that helps writers compress years of trial and error into weeks.

If you’re a writer, ghostwriter, freelancer, or “writerpreneur” who knows you have the skill but you’re missing the business side, this conversation is for you. We break down their Skin in the Game model, how they mentor writers one-on-one, and why they’re betting on a boutique, memoir-focused agency instead of trying to “scale” everything.

If you’re on the fence about going all-in on your writing career, this episode will give you clarity, a roadmap, and a serious push to start treating your writing like a real business.
