As you noticed, I never actually decided to become an editor or a writer, it just kept happening to me. That might mean that I had some kind of talent.
Then in about 1990, I got a call from an agent at the Carol Mann Literary Agency in New York, who asked if I was interested in taking a flight as a ghostwriter for a man named Alfred Schreiber, who was working on a book entitled Lifestyle and Event Marketing for McGraw-Hill. I did that, and then went on to co-author or ghostwrite a steady stream of books for minsters (some of them famous, like Dr. Arthur Caliandro at Marble Collegiate Church), psychotherapists, businesspeople, and others. Again, I never really decided to become a ghostwriter, it just kind of happened. At about the same time, I started to write blogs for a growing number of clients. Blogs, as you know, are the historical descendants of newsletters, so it all fits together.
As all this was taking place, people were calling to ask me to ghostwrite their books. I couldn’t take on all that work, but something interesting happened. Maybe because I’m a friendly kind of guy, I started talking to all those would-be authors about their projects, and I think I helped many of them decide whether and how to write books of their own.
About two years ago, I decided to stop ghostwriting books. Why? One reason is that it is just too doggone much work. Another reason is that I discovered that I am better at helping other people write than I am at writing myself. (Or something close to that.)
Maybe because I am a friendly kind of guy, people enjoy working with me. The people I work with tend to become my friends.
And in case you’re wondering, I don’t sing in too many operas these days. When would I ever find the time? And I if I were really, really good at it, I guess I’d still be doing it today.
