You can tell when a book is written by a real person, because it sounds like a real person. After four months of calls, drafts, and “ghost doctoring,” my ghostwriter Matt Harms, founder of Pen For Hire,  finally joins me in the studio to talk about what it actually takes to turn messy notes and life stories into a finished manuscript, and why the best ghostwriting never feels like someone else taking over your voice.We dig into the nuts and bolts of ghostwriting: how Matt keeps projects moving when clients are busy, how he pulls the right stories out of you with the kind of questions that feel suspiciously therapeutic, and what “good collaboration” looks like when you're building trust fast. We also talk about the reality that most books do not earn back their cost in direct sales, and why that is not the point. A great nonfiction book can still be your most powerful credibility tool, your clearest philosophy statement, and a way to help one reader at the exact right moment.AI shows up in a big way too. Matt shares a genuinely exciting use case: AI-assisted illustration for children's books that can turn families into consistent characters and speed up production. Then we flip to the downside, why AI writing often reads polished but empty, and why “garbage in, garbage out” still rules. If you're thinking about writing a book and wondering whether to hire a ghostwriter, choose a publisher package, or try author coaching, this conversation will help you pick the path that matches your budget, timeline, and goals.Subscribe for more conversations like this, share this with someone sitting on a book idea, and leave a review if it helps. What would you want your book to do for the people who read it?Proud to say my book is set to be out by the end of 2026, The title is: The Human Advantage - Genuine Curiosity, Deep Connection and Being Fully Authentic in an AI World.  BIG thanks to Matthew Harms from Pen For Hire!!  ---Welcome to The Brad Weisman Show, where we dive into the world of real people, real life, and everything in between with your host, Brad Weisman!

Elon Musks SpaceX schießt an der Börse in Billionen-Sphären: 2,8 Billionen Dollar schwer, Platz fünf – noch vor Amazon. Gleichzeitig fällt der Ölpreis nach Iran-Hoffnung Richtung 80 Dollar, und die Notenbanken atmen kurz durch. Mittendrin streiten die Wirtschaftsredakteure Dietmar Deffner und Holger Zschäpitz über die große Frage: Ist KI im Journalismus Segen, Schummelhilfe oder einfach der neue Ghostwriter? Außerdem: warum ein KI-Trading-Bot in sieben Tagen vor allem eines beweist – hin und her macht Taschen leer, sogar bei der Maschine. Weshalb die Shop-Apotheken-Mutter Redcare wieder Hoffnung weckt, welcher Neue-Markt-Veteran sein Comeback feiert – und warum Holger jetzt mit Personal Trainer fürs nächste Armdrücken gegen Rainer Zitelmann aufrüstet.

Creative Act (Rick Rubin)  Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman;  (Main Topic):  Notes: 1. As a novelist, a memoirist, and an author looking into offering ghostwriting services, I was super intrigued by many of your talking points in your media kit. I hope we get to talk about all my favorites. Let's start with Why Fiction Holds What Memoir Sometimes Can't. That's a juicy statement! A place for both; memoir is huge right now; tell our story to ourselves first, and then to others next. Hear a story better as fiction sometimes. Why you are writing the book?   2. I'm a sucker for books about authors, and the last novel that had that hook was also about a ghostwriter, what can you say about using the ghostwriter as a literary device? Fascinated by the job and wanted to dive into that; For instance, what is it like to see your book hit the NYT Bestseller List without your name on it? We see her through the stories she's writing.   3. Difference Between Telling the Truth and Owning Your Truth. Experienced childhood abuse, can you hide behind your own story, what are these effects on me, Invisibility starts when you lose your roles and don't have anything to talk about it. Relevance, meaning, purpose. 4. Who Owns the Truth? And What does silence cost us as women and as authors?

Comedy writer, performer, and teacher Matthew Starr joins the pod and I don't think I've ever laughed this hard in a recording. Matthew wrote and directed Best Man's Ghostwriter⁠ starring Glen Powell, came up through UCB with some of the best in the business, and has sage wisdom for how to finish a script.

As generative AI continues its meteoric and disruptive rise a recent controversy emerged around a novel called “Shy Girl.” It is the first known instance of a major publisher canceling a book due to suspected AI generation. After cancelling the U.S. release, Hachette Book Group issued a statement reaffirming its commitment to "original creative expression" and noted that authors are required to disclose any use of AI. Our guest says the "Shy Girl" story is just the tip of the iceberg and that he knows of major publishers that accept manuscripts they suspect contain AI-generated text and simply edits them so it's not obvious. We talk with Joshua Lisec to get some clarity on where AI is finding its way into publishing, and what U.S. Copyright Law has to say about it.

In June 1975, two of three siblings are found dead in their home. Vincent, the lone survivor, lives under whispers that he killed them. Decades later, at the end of his career as a horror writer, his estranged daughter Olivia, is hired to write his final book, the memoir of what really happened that night. After 50 years, Vincent is ready to tell the truth.

Send us Fan MailAuthor Amy Wallace was the ghostwriter for Virginia Roberts Giuffre's, Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice. Virginia Giuffre was an American advocate and survivor of sex trafficking who became widely known for accusing financier Jeffrey Epstein and his associates, including Prince Andrew, of sexual abuse. She died by suicide in April 2025 at her home in Australia. At the time of her death, her book was complete and slated for publication. As you will hear us discuss, Amy needed to come forward at that time to provide a bridge to the manuscript in light of public details about Virginia that came to light just before her death, namely the abusive nature of her marriage which had not been detailed in the book. Amy Wallace splits her time between books and magazines. Her magazine work has appeared in GQ, Wired, The New Yorker, New York, Esquire, Vanity Fair, Details, The Nation, the New York Times Magazine, Elle, and other national publications. Two of her profiles – “Hollywood's Information Man” (Los Angeles, 2001) and “Walking Time Bomb” (New York, 2019) – have been nominated for a National Magazine Award. She has collaborated on two other books, 2021's Hot Seat: What I Learned Leading a Great American Company, by Jeff Immelt, the former CEO of General Electric and 2014's Creativity, Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration with Ed Catmull, then the president of Pixar Animation and Disney Animation. Call 988, if you or someone you know is having thoughts of self-harm.

DEFENDANT: PBS Kids! EVIDENCE: A to Z Wineworks Chardonnay SCENE OF THE CRIME: A TV near you!  -- Hey friend — grab a glass and settle in! In this cozy episode of True Crimes Against Wine, Judge Topher and Judge Rachel pair a bright, stainless-steel A to Z Oregon Chardonnay with a nostalgic deep-dive into PBS Kids. Expect lots of nostalgic tangents (Lisa Frank stickers, slap bracelets, and wishbone adventures), a warm appreciation for Sesame Street, Arthur, Reading Rainbow and more, plus a fun celebrity pop-quiz about famous folks who popped up on kids' programming. We chat about the wine's fresh pineapple, pear, and apple notes, why it's a perfect picnic pick, and how A to Z Wineworks' women-led, sustainability-focused mission makes sipping feel extra great. Then we get delightfully nostalgic — from Mr. Rogers and Carmen Sandiego to Ghostwriter, Dragon Tales and the many ways PBS taught curiosity, empathy and real-world smarts. It's casual, silly, and heartfelt: think spirited wine tasting meets childhood memory lane. So open a bottle, slap on a bracelet, and come hang out with us for a chat about why PBS Kids still matters, why this Chardonnay punches above its $15 price tag, and why some shows (and stickers) are forever.

What does it take to turn real life into a book readers can't put down?In this episode, I talk with Dr. Amanda Edgar, award-winning author, ghostwriter, and founder of Page and Podium Press, about the craft and business of memoir and prescriptive nonfiction. Amanda shares how she helped document firsthand stories from the summer of 2020 for a follow-up to her 2018 Black Lives Matter book, and why she measures success not just in sales, but in impact and ongoing conversations.We also get practical. Amanda explains what ghostwriting really involves—from interviews and research to collaborative outlining and preserving a client's voice. She discusses timelines, her 3,000-words-per-week writing cadence, tools like Scrivener, and why her press avoids AI-generated prose to protect authenticity and trust.For aspiring ghostwriters, Amanda shares business advice: start with a few projects, set up your contracts and LLC, and choose a marketing channel you actually enjoy—her YouTube strategy brings in steady organic leads.Finally, we talk about the emotional side of memoir writing: interviewing people about painful experiences, honoring their stories, and knowing which projects align with your values. Amanda also previews two upcoming books, including a guide to her Memoir Method and her own deeply personal memoir about surviving a hidden abusive relationship.If you're interested in memoir, ghostwriting, or writing books that make an impact, this episode is for you.Have a comment?
