It has been my pleasure to interview Claudia about ghostwriting in the past and this time we get to talk about her new distance learning course. Do you want to write for a living? Listen to Claudia tell you how. – JW

GCP introduces students to all aspects of the lucrative ghostwriting field in two intense, hands-on semesters. Students learn the scope and limitations of the profession, the specific skills and techniques necessary to do a professional job, and the various methodologies for finding, contracting, and satisfying freelance and corporate clients. All classes are live and conducted via telephone and web interface.

“If you’re a ghostwriter or editor, it’s the proverbial flower-strewn path to success as an independent professional. If you’re an aspiring author, it’s the knowledge, skill, and experience you fervently hope your ghostwriter or editor has. If you’re asking me, it’s the class I wish I knew about before taking on my first client.” Derek Lewis, Business Book Ghostwriter

The Spring modules–“Introduction to Ghostwriting,” “Nonfiction,” and “The Industry”–are prerequisites for Fall’s “Fiction,” “Submissions,” and “Freelancing” modules. Students may do an independent project under instructor supervision after completing all six modules.

“Ghostwriting Certificate Program” is the expanded version of “Ghostwriter Certification Training”  taught privately for over a decade by creator/instructor Claudia Suzanne <http://claudiasuzanne.com>, author of Secrets of a Ghostwriter and Chair of the May, 2013 Ghostwriters Unite! conference in Long Beach, CA.
