I’ve enjoyed both participating in and listening to As Told To. What a great platform for us invisible writers to connect through! It’s taught me so much about how my colleagues approach the craft as well as the $ side of the ghostwriting profession. Daniel is a great interviewer who gets us saying more than we probably should!
