From the back cover
If you can write a book, you can ghostwrite.
In the Professional Ghostwriter's Handbook, I intend to show you exactly what to do, step by step, so that you can get started in ghostwriting. I want you to be able to earn a living doing this while you work on your own novels or pick up the skills you will need to do so. Thankfully, ghostwriting can pay the bills and make you a better writer at the same time.
Get paid to learn. Learn to write. And write for money--which you can then use to publish your own novels.
If you intend to become a mid-level author who earns a living through your own novels, then the Professional Ghostwriter's Handbook is the book for you.

About the Author: J.S. Menefee lives in eastern Washington. He has been a freelance writer/editor for over 20 years and has ghostwritten a dozen novels, as well as many nonfiction works. He is currently developing a book on how to become a ghostwriter. His pet project, however, is his Paranormal Urban Fantasy series he gleefully refers to as his "PUF" project. His PUF project will be a universe for his novels, his personal creative outlet. All books in the first trilogy are being written before publishing the set, but several short stories have been (and will continue to be) published until then. Frankly, he has way more ideas than time, but short stories offer "an amazingly fun outlet" for his excess energy.
