Why Join?

Why pursue your career in ghostwriting alone when you can benefit from valuable resources and learn from other writers’ experiences? When you join the Association of Ghostwriters, you gain access to a group of professional writers who share your passion for writing and your goals for making it a lucrative career.

The Association offers two levels of membership -- the Associate level for writers interested in learning more about ghostwriting as a profession and the Professional level for experienced ghostwriters looking to build their businesses.

$99 per year

Associate Membership

This membership level helps beginner or less experienced ghostwriters gain the knowledge and experience necessary to qualify for Professional-level membership.

Writers interested in offering ghostwriting services but who haven’t completed at least two book ghostwriting projects should apply for Associate level membership.

  • 12 monthly e-newsletters packed with news, tips, and interviews
  • Guest blogging opportunities
  • Participation in monthly office hours, where all members meet live via Zoom to ask questions and discuss current issues

The Associate level membership fee is $99/year.
