As we dive headfirst into 2025 this week (🤯), I’d like to provide an overview of what The Ghost Post offers and introduce myself to all of the wonderful new faces around here! 😊 This post will also serve as a go-to resource with links to my most popular posts and an up-to-date summary of what The Ghost Post offers subscribers.
So, without further ado…
Hey there! 👋 I’m Emma, author of The Ghost Post and a full-time book ghostwriter.
Welcome to The Ghost Post, a newsletter packed full of freelancing/ghostwriting tips & tricks, resources, and updates - all with the aim of building a diverse, vibrant community of writers! Here, I provide valuable information for freelancers whilst encouraging my subscribers to celebrate each other’s wins and losses, cheer one another on, and grow together.
Why freelance writing? 🤔
Freelance writing (specifically, ghostwriting) has allowed me to replace my 8-5 job with remote work that I’m passionate about, that changes my clients’ careers/lives, and that grants commitment-driven earning potential.
Because of ghostwriting, I get to make my own schedule, work less hours than I did in my day job, and actually enjoy my time at the computer - all while making more income than ever before. I’ve been deeply blessed by the freelance writing lifestyle, and I want to help other writers find freedom in writing for a living, too!
This is why The Ghost Post exists: to give you the tools you need to succeed as a freelance writer.

I’d also like to extend my sincerest thanks to each of you for following along here at The Ghost Post! My number one goal is to ensure that my content adds value to my subscribers’ freelancing/ghostwriting careers. I’m eternally grateful for your support. 😊
I am not used to being welcomed. Well, not for a long time, anyway. but then, come to think of it, people stopped taking a liking to me after they thought I killed my husband. So, it feels good to be welcomed now. I haven't found any other characters here, but maybe we can get them to join.
My author recommended you to me, since you are a ghost writer too. I am a writer here, and a ghost as well, so we have something in common. Of course, I am not as well-versed in the writing tools and genres of your day, but I am learning more with each visit. I am thinking of sharing stories of the other characters in my story. If I write those for them and sign their names, is that like what you do?
