According to recent surveys, 36% of freelancers have ghostwriting experience.

And that’s not just for popular topics like business and technology — it’s also for healthcare. Heck, there’s a massive need for ghostwriters in dozens of different genres.

If you’re a nurse looking to break into the world of ghostwriting, these five must-read books will help you hone your skills and understand the industry.

“On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft” by Stephen King

Stephen King’s classic book offers valuable insights and advice on the writing process. Here’s what you need to know:

Action to take: Apply King’s advice on writing routines and create a consistent schedule to improve your productivity.

Mistake to Avoid: Don’t get caught up in over-editing while you write. Focus on getting the words down first and refine them later.

This book is one of my personal favs. Not just because it’s Stephen King but also because his advice is timeless.

“The Well-Fed Writer” by Peter Bowerman
